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

    You could have just left it as "I find ebay sellers often wrong." :rofl: I just sent another seller a note that the hat he has listed a a 7 1/4 (in several places in his auction) has a photograph of a size tag that says it's a 7 1/8. :frusty: Cheers, Tom

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

    Some dry cleaners used to clean hats. I had one cleaned in the mid-'80s at a dry cleaner. It came back blocked open crown and since I had no idea about open crown hats and that they could be hand creased I was very annoyed. With the open crown and new handful of feathers in the ribbon it looked...

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

    Wonderful hats, Levallois! :eusa_clap But I have to ask: do you have a wife or significant other looking at the two hats in bafflement, saying something like "But... but... they're the same hat! Why do you need two of the same hat?" :D Cheers, Tom

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I hope to have a bit of spare time now to get serious about my hats again--in between spending more time with my granddaugher and wife! Bob, it's a Masters in Information Technology, Project Management, and earning it makes me even less marketable than I...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Gave up the fedora for part of the day today For most of today I exchanged my usual fedora for a more specialized piece of headgear: a mortarboard! :D Later, after removing the regalia back at the hotel room, I switched to a Harvey Brothers fedora when we went out for a late lunch...

    TRYING to spend my money locally!

    Heck, Edward, when I lived in England I couldn't see how my neighbors could afford to live in their own country! To my eyes it seemed that everything was priced similarly to the US, but with the £ instead of the $ in front of it. That would be OK, but for the exchange rate difference that meant...

    TRYING to spend my money locally!

    And the choices seem to be shrinking all the time, at least at Wally World. I've noticed that they've started cutting back on variety of name brand products and filling the shelf space with their own brand replacements. Unfortunately, we're fairly limited in places to shop in rural southern...

    Your Hat Addiction...and your spouse

    My wife has had her ups and downs regarding my hats; she generally likes them, but over-reacted one day when one too many boxes was delivered. Other than that she's been very tolerant. She wears some of my hats as well. On another note, I see that it's been over a year since he of the hatcave...

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    Setting aside the whole inappropriateness of the song for a little girl to be singing for a moment, I'm constantly amazed at how many parents (heck, people in general) don't grasp the fact that these days once it's put out there on the 'net, it's out there forever. Somewhere down the road...

    A Modest Proposal

    I often put my first name at the end of posts, and I believe I've put my last name out there at some point as well. My user name is simply my initials in the military phonetic alphabet, which I had to give when talking with the distant end (Comm) for their log. I've used Tango or Tango Yankee...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Glass cutter if I recall correctly; might have also tried using diamond saw to cut it, grinder and polishers to clean it up. He was a "rockhound" so had this equipment on hand for cutting and polishing rocks.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I remember it, too. The bottle I remember, though, is nothing like the bottles I've found pictures of. The bottles of my memory had the lion and a scene from the African veldt, but not printed on; it was molded into the glass. It wasn't as slim as the bottle in this photo, either. My dad took...

    The general decline in standards today

    As I recall he was found guilty. He was arrested in an undercover operation. Met with undercover officers to sell them drugs, they busted him, he was claiming the drugs weren't his even though he was alone in the car. I wasn't questioned other than by the judge asking each of us if we knew...

    Thoughts on females wearing fedoras

    My wife borrows my hats from time to time, or appropriates them outright. She looks good in them. Cheers, Tom

    The general decline in standards today

    A year or so after moving to southern Ohio I was called for jury duty for the first time. (In the military I have been on standby to be on a panel in a courts martial, but that was it.) I was looking forward to seeing how the civilian courts really operated. Unfortunately I made the mistake of...

    Only if that means shoving the box of matches into the shipping box with everything else! There was nothing special about the packaging.

    The Fedora Lounge Store

    I commented in another thread about the excessive shipping costs. I bought four pint glasses, a box of matches, and a mug. Total cost for the items was under $30. Best I can say about shipping is that it was also under $30. The first time I went to make the purchase I actually walked away, but...

    L.L. Bean Leather Jacket size 2XL

    Maybe if you'll just post the price? Seeing a couple of "PM sent" with "Still available" says that you're wanting more than is being offered. No sense in making us guess at it; post your price and maybe you'll get a response. Cheers, Tom

    My wife wore hers as part of her Easter outfit a couple of years ago. Matched her dress perfectly! :eusa_clap
