The Cap Faction
Same with me. Sometimes my choice is decided by the wind...calm day calls for a fedora. On a windy day, I'll wear a basque beret or my new cap. Sometimes the temperature calls for a closer fitting, wool cap as well...a beret or a cap. It was -12C during my walk last night...I wore my cap. -

The Cap Faction
Thanks Randall. Gave it a bit of stretch and wore it on my evening walk. Very comfortable and it gave me a nice change from a fedora. Now...just have to find some more caps! -

The Cap Faction
So after gazing longingly at all the great photos on this thread, I've finally managed to find a cap! While rifling through all the made in China modern caps at a thrift store today this lovely olive green cap leaped out at me. It's my first cap, so a couple of questions: 1. Do any... -
Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
Thanks, Talbot. As I stated, my father bought it in the mid-50's to celebrate his move (and subsequent pay increase) from the Toronto Telegram to the Globe and Mail. It's never been tampered with (he did have it cleaned occasionally). It almost met it's end after he passed away, but I managed...- DNO

What are you listening to?
I don't know enough about him to give you an answer, but his voice certainly changed. I do know he became more and more experimental as his music career progressed...very unusual instrumentation (even a wagon wheel steel hoop as a percussion instrument), use of a bullhorn, etc. He's an... -
War Art
if you're in the market for a book or two, there's The Canvas of War about the Canadian war artist program in World Wars One and Two (actually the program is still running with artists producing images in Afghanistan). In addition, one of the more notable war artists wrote a book about... -

What are you listening to?
Glad to see some Tom Waits. My favourite Waits video...Hold On. (Followed closely, as a video, by God's Away on Business...can't beat balloons and emus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPnOEiehONQ&ob=av2e -
Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
Don't feel too bad for us city-slickers. I've lived in the same neighbourhood for 60 years...an ordinary, lower middle class area... and I've never had any of those things happen...nothing even close. These things do happen, of course, but nowhere near my neighbourhood. In addition I've...- DNO

The Streetcar/Trolley/Tram/Electric Railway Thread
I spent many an hour in my youth riding Toronto's PCC streetcars. They've been replaced with rumbling monsters, but I thought I'd share a streetcar photo I found in the Toronto archives. Recruiting for WW1, 1916 or so.- DNO

The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
Recruiting, 1916. Lots of boaters and some caps. I wouldn't say no to that car! The dapper chap in the boater leaning against the car was the mayor of Toronto at the time. -

What was the last TV show you watched?
Hell on Wheels. Interesting way to handle the fighting sequence at the beginning. Continue to love the Swede character...delightfully nasty.- DNO

Tackling the block... and flange
Thanks for the photo series, Alan. Really interesting to see the flange in action. Like you, I usually use my hat stretcher to reblock a hat...it is similar to your Garve...but I've had my eye open for a proper block and flange. I'll find one around here eventually. -
