Which word for sweater do you prefer?
Around this neck of the woods, 'sweater', 'jersey' or 'pullover' all work, although sweater is probably the most common usage. A 'jumper', as A.C. pointed out, is a type of woman's dress.- DNO

Rummage sale today. Found this terrific silk curling club scarf. Judging by the badges it dates from between 1939 and 1950. It has sixty curling club badges on it, ranging all over Canada and the U.S.- DNO

Hurricane Sandy
in Toronto as well and you're right...it was certainly cap weather this morning. No fedora today. Heavy winds last night. A large branch fell on my neighbour's roof. It's already been cut up and roof repairs underway. We certainly didn't get the large quantity of rain that was predicted.- DNO

Good riddance to vintage things that have disappeared in your lifetime
Try telling them that you remember standing on your front lawn with a bunch of neighbours watching Sputnik go over. "Sput-what"? Sometimes I rather wish we still had parking meters here. Now we have to walk half a block to find the solar powered ticket dispensing device, all the time hoping...- DNO

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
And apparently we're both doing the FL thing while watching it! Small world. Same city, same movie, same winds. Fortunately, ButteMT61, last March, the city ordered my neighbour to cut down his very large, dying tree that was 20' from the back of my house so that's one less worry! Actually...- DNO

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Strikes me as a bit ironic that TCM is showing Inherit the Wind while my house is being lashed with rain and, of course, 100 kmh winds from Sandy. Naturally, I'm watching it. At least while I still have power.- DNO

Both Maus books are well worth buying and well worth reading. Graphic novels have never really appealed to me but the Maus books are the exception.- DNO

The Conversion Corral
I did stretch it with the sweatband in place. Frankly, I was amazed at how well it went and it seems to be remaining in its new size with no problem. Lucky. I seem to have a heck of time sewing in sweatbands. I've yet to do one decently, so I go out of my way to avoid it! -

The Conversion Corral
Thanks a lot everyone. It's a lot of fun rescuing these hats from oblivion. The sweatband suffered no ill effects at all. I made several applications of Lexol before the stretch and the sweatband came through with flying colours. Even the stitching at the back came through the process... -

The Conversion Corral
I sometimes find bashed up, stained and abused western hats in local thrift stores. They're usually quite cheap and almost always sound, despite appearances. I enjoy picking them up and giving them some new life. I've done this to a couple of Stetson 3X beavers. They really make wonderful... -

Found a very nice 9" bowl made by Royal Winton today at the thrift shop. It has the stamp used by Royal Winton from 1951. Judging by the grime I had to remove, it probably dates from the '50's.- DNO

Stetson: The Making of a Legend
Just watched all three. Thanks for post RBH. Not too sure about those blowtorches, though! The cap video was quite interesting...I didn't know Stetson made their caps in Germany.
