    Rough Outs or Russet Service Shoes...

    You work in Ballmer, Hon? I know the area well, I went to the MD State Police Dog Training Academy in Westover, near Pikesville, in '89. I was a Salisbury MD City Police Officer, K9 Trainer. I hope I never pulled y'all over on your way to OC. Get that profile filled out ZF.

    The feel of the era.

    I wish you all the best, Root my friend. I guess I can't complain, Houston has very low housing costs. I moved here in 2000 and bought a 2,200sq ft, two story home in a great neighborhood, good schools and work for $120,00. What the hell am I complaining about?

    cutting the brim

    I'm going to try it today. I'll let y'all know the results...the hat's 4 inch brimmed 5 X American Brand cowboy hat that I don't wear anymore. I already reblocked the brim from an Alpine or Cattleman's crease to a hi "C" teardrop. That was easier than I thought. Did not use steam,, I soak the...

    Hurricane Katrina

    There are hundreds of shelters from Houston to San Antonio and Houston to Dallas. The place we visited ended up not accepting people till tomorrow, so we ended up going to a drop off point. There was an evacuee there looking for clothes and just happened to be my size and could use all the...

    No angel here, thanks for the complement. I'm familiar with the verse. Just hate to see something like that happen to my kids.

    Hurricane Katrina

    We have not been contacted back by the Red Cross or Share Your Home yet, but that's to be understood. It's a logistical nightmare down here right now. There's kids that don't know where there parents are, or even if they are alive. We volunteered to take a couple of kids between the ages of 6...

    Miller Hats

    Second hand, who can tell... I'm happy with all my Millers. One I have worn for a couple seasons in the elements and has no srinkage. They have really good sweat bands.

    Miller Hats

    Vlad... Miller's signature line hats are made by Biltmore. I have several of their fedoras. They are adequate, probably better quality than modern Stetsons or Dobbs hats. I don't have any of their Homburgs but I think they may be a little thicker. Hope this helps.
