    High Tea "Versus) Low Tea

    Hi Tea Hi Tea! For some reason we Americans persist in confusing "Afternoon Tea", the Upper Class mid-afternoon restorative invented in the early 19th century by the Duchess of Bedford as a way of getting around a mid-afternoon energy dip in an age when lunch was seldom eaten. She established...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I wanted that Tweed and I got it. Perfect for April showers and October sleet. Less than $25.00 including shipping! With a bit of shaping, it'll be just right.

    The fall of the phone

    A Brief Encounter The other day while strolling along to my local java joint, I realized that I had left my Nokia nagger back at the manse. I needed to get my bookie on the horn or my knees might not be with me by sunset. I knew that the corner coffee house was devoid of coin operated blowers...

    Salt-and-Pepper Swiss Army surplus - Will we ever see that quality again?

    Swiss Army Greatcoat I bought one of these from Sportsman's Guide about ten years ago, and it still looks sharp. Everytime I wear it I get compliments. I also had the Swiss version of the German M-43 cap. But some basta*d stole it. Warmest hat I ever had. I'd love to find another one, the new...

    Tank that helped end Battle of the Bulge takes place in Army history

    Dates are wrong. The Battle of the Bulge was December of 1944 not 45. The war ended in May of 1945.

    I look like a goon in my new hat.

    I seem to remember Detective Inspector Chan of HPD also wearing a Panama Superfino Optimo at times.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Sorry I wasn't aware. Please forgive my faux pas. But I still need your advise. What is the best way to adjust to fit if the hat is just a bit oversized? Or will it look too strange? Thanks.

    Fitting Question I'd really like to try for this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390034829372&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1123 But it's a 7 1/2, and I wear a 7 3/8. Can I adjust the hat to fit somehow, or will it look odd? I'd appreciate your advise. Thanks all.

    Wearing a wrist watch on the underside of your wrist

    I've seen ones made by Gruen and Waltham, but being vintage they are a bit out of my price range. Gruen even made a model with the dial turned so that 12 is where 3 is on a normal dial. Currently there is a Swiss watch called Sidewatch, which is curved so that it can only be worn on the side of...

    Wearing a wrist watch on the underside of your wrist

    Tried them both. And finally settled on neither. For going on 20 years now I have worn my watch on the side of my wrist in line with my thumb. 95% of the time I never have to turn my wrist to see the face. And it never bangs into anything. I haven't damaged a watch since I started wearing...

    New Panama help needed.

    I just acquired a Cuenca "Havana" model from Panama Bob. The weave is so supple that when I try to snap the front brim, it won't stay snapped. How do I shape this hat so it stays? This is my first post, but I've been lurking for months. The knowledge and wit and wisdom on this forum just blows...
