    Do women hate men's hats?

    I too prefer the higher crown and longer visor on a "ball" cap when I wear them. When I wear a cap it is for function, not looks. I hate the low, close-fitting caps, especially those flimsy elastic "Flex-fit" caps that feel like wearing a pair of underwear on your head. And the brim has to be...

    Akubra Overload

    It looks to have been worth the wait - that's a nice hat that should give you great service!

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Very nice, getting closer! I assume that is the dark moss; what color is the ribbon?

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Now THAT is one of the most poignant slogans I have ever heard! Here in the Appalachians, there are a lot of stories of mountain towns wiped out by flash floods. The stories always include tales of those who survived, or didn't, by seeking refuge in their attics.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The first days/weeks on a new job can be a challenge; congratulations and best of luck to you!

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    That's a really neat dye job, especially since you managed to leave the welt brown. I would have just dyed the whole boot. :D Nice work!

    Phoenix Hat Company

    A truly sharp hat, sir, congratulations! At this rate that natural/navy combination may become one of Rick's signature hats. Mine has become my "all-purpose-casual-going-to-town-hat". It does indeed go well with almost everything, and I am very pleased with it. Rick's hats are well worth the...

    Show us their hats!

    One of his no-nonsense characters was in "Boys of Twilight", a TV series he shared with Richard Farnsworth. It only lasted a few episodes, but I had high hopes for it. I guess even in the early 90s it was still too anti-entitlement.

    Loungers' Pets

    Haha! Yep, our beagle makes a specialty out of dismantling squeaky toys. It is amazing how quickly and neatly she finds them and takes them out. I’m afraid to fall asleep around her lest I wheeze or snore, and entice her to investigate! :eek:

    Esther Weis Millinery

    That's a fine-looking hat; I like the color combination. I am still extremely pleased with the similar one you made for me. It's good to see you posting again, Miss Esther!

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    I never was a Kenny Chesney fan, and had never heard of Grace Potter before, but this song grabbed me the first time I heard it. I wasn't surprised to find out that Matraca Berg had written it (she does a really fine rendition of it herself, too). Like you, I enjoy the video, too, for multiple...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Something certainly doesn’t add up, but given that you had a higher bid posted than the selling price when the auction closed, and you have a screenshot to back you up, I would contact the auction service about it. I’ve never participated in Goodwill auctions so I don’t know what their support...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don’t think it’s deliberate, most of the time, I think that too many people simply don’t think about anyone but themselves these days. How many times have you been behind a driver that throws the garbage from his fast food meal from the car window? Who do they think is going to clean that up...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    And the same for the smokers who seem to think the entire world is a huge trash can for their butts.

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Of all the elements of weather, wind is my least favorite. There’s just no escaping it!

    Best of luck to you during your surgery, HD, and wishes for a full and prompt recovery.

    Hats and Funerals

    This was a common courtesy and show of respect when I was growing up too, and the "older" folks here still practice it when they can (it's not as easy to pull off the road and get out for the procession anymore, with today's cars, roads, and traffic). And yes, I am one of the "older folks" these...

    Phoenix Hat Company

    That's another really fine hat, Brent (and Rick too ;)). I normally don't gravitate towards tan/camel colored hats, but that color combination is really sharp, and it suits you well too. Congratulations!

    Show us your Guns!

    Please do post pictures of that boar-slayer rifle when you get a chance! I like double rifles as well as double shotguns (the side-by-side versions, anyway).

    Show us your Guns!

    Understood. I have a 10-gauge hammer double that has Damascus barrels, and when I bought it I thought I would load some blackpowder shells and shoot it. But the inside of the bores show corrosion along the weld lines even though the outsides are pretty nice, and I like my fingers right where...
