    Musician's hats

    I’d not heard him do that one. I like a lot of Gordon Lightfoot songs, but I’ll have to say this is one song where the “cover” is every bit as good as the original. RIP, Mr. Rice, you certainly contributed to the greater good while you were here.

    Clean Jokes

    I fail to see how an "incest joke", as you call it, belongs in a "Clean Joke" thread. I'm not a Texan, but I don't know how they or anyone else with a sense of decency would find an "incest joke" "clean". I think a lot of folks here were hoping that this was just a matter of poor translation...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks for the feedback. That was pretty much my experience with my “trial” pair, as well.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thank you, JustinW and MrFrown, much appreciated. Indeed, it's the instep fit that has me buffaloed. I have a high/full instep that requires a "close instep" adjustment withn most White's boots. I don't know how to translate that to a boot that will slip on and off, but still be snug when worn...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Those are some great looking boots - I've wanted a pair just like that for some time but getting a good fit on engineers by mail-order is intimidating. I think that's just about the perfect make-up in my opinion. Do you feel that the MP toe cramps your feet any? And would you post a couple of...

    Phoenix Hat Company

    That's impressive (but with Rick, not surprising). I think we share the trait that we will spend more on tools to do a specialty job than it would cost to have someone else just do it. But now we have the tools and ability to do it ourselves the next time for "free". I don't know if you call...

    I really like the way that turned out. Nice work!

    Welcome to the Lounge, Tom! I think you'll find lots of things to interest you here.

    That's a sharp looking hat, congratulations! I love that color combination.

    Musician's hats

    Invariably, whenever Ray Wylie Hubbard is mentioned, I think of Jerry Jeff Walker’s intro to Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother: “This song was written by Ray Wylie Hubbard...”. :D

    Musician's hats

    I'm not familiar with Todd Snider, but being a fan of older outlaw country, I'll have to give him a listen. I'll have to say, though, it's hard for me to take a man's hat seriously when he's wearing it with fingernail polish... ;)

    Akubra Overload

    An honest working hat performing its intended role. Welcome to the Lounge!

    Help me find this hat?

    To me, it sounds like you are after a "Western fedora, like Woody Harrelson's in "The Highwaymen":

    Things that make you smile

    Interesting observations. I would only differ in that I believe that “journalism” has belonged on the trash heap for years, but lately the pile is much larger and smells infinitely worse than it used to.

    Movie hats

    Tom Selleck can wear a hat! Excellent movie, and an exceptional book that does a great job of documenting the passing (for the most part) of a way of life.

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Nice hats, gentlemen! I'm glad to see that Rick is still finding time to turn out fine hats occasionally, with all of the other things he's into. Every time I see one of his hats I get a craving, but with three that he's built for me, two Gannons, and a small handful of Akubras and Resistols, I...

    Shave of the Day

    I’ve read that some folks use their blades for only a few shaves, but I usually get 3 weeks or more out of a blade before it starts dragging. I’ve learned not to use it past that point - the economy is not worth it! Maybe the type of shaving soap affects blade life, I don’t know. They used to...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    That's too bad, that's a good-looking pair of boots. That's why I only have a couple of pair of pull-on boots, though, and why I almost never wear them. I have a really tall/full instep, and making the boot big enough to get my foot into it causes it to have a really loose/sloppy hold on the...

    Shave of the Day

    The Feather blades are very sharp, but once I got used to DE shaving they became my favorite by far. They require a light touch and NO sideways slips or roughhousing, or you'll bleed! But if you carefully learn how to use them, I think you'll like them. I use them with Mitchell's Wool Fat...
