    Western, anyone?

    Thanks for the information. I was pretty confident about my hat size, it seemed pretty consistent, until I bought a Stetson fedora recently. The shop even measured me and came up with the same size. When the hat came it was slightly large. Wonder which hat makers would be close enough for me...

    Western, anyone?

    Can anyone recommend a place to get a custom western hat? Anyone have a hat from Knudsen Hats? I believe they may be able to do what I'm looking for..

    Looking for hat information?

    Hmm. There's one on ebay right now complete with the hat band, but about double what you would pay directly from Stratton. Stratton would sell you the hat, you would just have to contact them about shipping outside the US. Or if you have a friend or relative in the US. There's a place called...

    Movie hats

    It is just a plain black cattleman with trail dust. The unique feature is the hat band. Would like to find a similar hatband. Anyone have an idea where? Or a closeup of the detail. Is it braided horse hair?

    Hat Kradle "A place to hang your hat"

    Somehow I remember a similar device sold in police supply catalog circa 1980 that you would stick into the headliner of your car and use it to store your campaign, or western hat. A simple metal wire Y that held the hat upside down against the ceiling. Or am I imagining this?

    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    Wasn't her character, in Rio Bravo called "Feathers," due to her fondness of wearing a feather boa?

    Bush Jackets

    I just got done watching, Omega Man with Charlton Heston, and I'm on a bush jacket kick. I like the Lost Worlds Australian bush jacket, and the WPG British bush jacket. I can't figure out why there is such a significant price difference. One is $50 the other is $500. I've heard an Indian made...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I kept a London Fog for years. It wasn't the best fitting choice. I had to get a "tall" in order to get the sleeves to fit at all, and even then, when sitting my suit cuff would stick out way too far. And the length of the bottom was too long. I would step on it walking up stairs. I even bought...

    Why American Workers Now Dress So Casually

    Maybe, in the 21st Century, the pendulum will begin to swing the other way. The new buzz term is "decision fatigue." It seems there is a practical reason after all for the dark blue or gray suit, white or blue shirt and tie...

    Which shaving soaps/creams do you want to try?

    My standard is Haslinger soaps. I like the sandalwood, sheep's milk, and sage. Great lather and the scents are mild. Though I keep thinking about trying a Bay Rum??

    Custom Passport Replicas

    Wondering what a 60's era US passport for Napoleon Solo, or Russian passport for Illya Kuryakin would look like?

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    They call themselves, Traders of the Lost Surplus. I haven't dealt with them. Love the greatcoat, but don't know where I would ever wear it. http://old.totls.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=43&Itemid=44

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I don't know if there is any current interest in resurrecting this thread. It seems the last post was a while ago. I recently watched, The Bedford Incident, starring Sidney Poitier & Richard Widmark. It takes place on a US Navy destroyer, in the Denmark Straight during the Cold War. One of the...

    Star Trek

    Starting with the young Kirk driving a '66 Vette over a cliff was quite symbolic. That was my big beef, too. The promotion to starship captain before Nu-Kirk finished Starfleet Academy. TOS Kirk had a 12+ year back story before sitting in the center seat. But that's the new generation. They...
