    Show us their hats!

    Interesting photos! Reference the last one - AP Bigelow was an interesting author with a wry sense of humor that I enjoy, but I did not know he was a competitive shooter.

    Nicks VS White's Boot sizing

    Yes indeed, if you're interested in White's, by all means go through Baker's. They offer pretty significant sales on White's boots several times a year, and make customization easy if there's something you want that's not an off-the-shelf offering from White's. And Kyle is the king of nailing...

    Nicks VS White's Boot sizing

    I have both "Smokejumper" (White's) and "Hotshot" (Nick's) firefighter/logger type boots, and also Packers from both companies, and I think the sizes in those two types of boots between brands are very comparable. At least they are for me. I don't have any Nick's in other types, so I can't make...

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    Up through high school I had always worn the heaviest-canvas jeans Levi's made, but quit buying them in the early 80's because Levi's decided to voice their political views, some of which I strongly opposed. So I switched to Wranglers, and because I am tall with a long torso I have been very...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I, like you, was taught to take care of my nice things and make them last. Boots and hats are tools by original design, and honest wear adds character, but in my opinion they should not be abused unless you're caught in a situation where it's necessary. Then, if you've taken care of them, you...

    "Hat vandals!" Succinct but so descriptive! :D

    Akubra Overload

    Isn't it nice when something you receive actually lives up to your expectations? You already know that the Akubra is a durable hat, and you did a nice job of shaping it and making it your own. I hope you both get to go on many, many adventures afield!

    Artwork Featuring Hats

    I really like David Wright's work. I first some some of his Eastern longhunter themed art and was hooked. Technically correct to period (as far as I can tell, anyway), and the detail is incredible. There is a HUGE mural of his painting of Daniel Boone leading settlers to Ol' Kentuck through the...

    Today in History

    Indeed it does. Utmost respect to the folks who have served or are serving in our Armed Forces, but civilians are never unscathed by war either.

    Today in History

    80 years ago today, on a peaceful Sunday morning, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor without a declaration of war, killing more than 2,400 Americans.

    I have a Gannon with those same colors, but without the brim binding. I really like it - you made a good choice! Seeing yours makes me wish I had bound the brim, too. ;)
