Hats question
On the first one there's no telling what it is exactly, other than a wide-brimmed fedora. On the second, it's a fedora with a center crease and a brim on the outer edges of stingy (looks to be about 2"), typical of the time it was taken. Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

Vintage professions you'd like to see come back.....
You would think so, but you won't see it until another profession that's rarely seen (and already been mentioned here) makes a major comeback first: the housewife. Or househusband. Or whatever it takes for a neigborhood to have a majority of houses with someone staying home during the day (other...- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
And the verbage in the auction flat-out said he was trying to avoid fees and was using the shipping cost as a starting point for bidding. He was reported. He now has an $8 shipping fee and a $200 starting bid, with the language about shipping removed from the auction. Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

daizawaguy check in let everyone know you are ok.
Glad to hear you're OK, D-guy. Others over there on different mailing lists I'm on are checking in; some haven't yet. This is one of the wonderful side benefits of the Internet. Before the Internet something like this would happen and we'd hear about it, but it was usually somewhat...- Tango Yankee

Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?
You know, that raises a couple of questions. For example, what level of annual sales would be required to have kept it going, assuming their other dress hats require similar levels? How many non-western dress hats do they sell in total each year, and since most of us rarely see anyone else with...- Tango Yankee

Leaving home to find work
Good luck to you, and congratulations on having the courage do so. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap I live in an area of very high unemployment but few people here are willing to leave to find work, even if it's only two hours away in Columbus, Cincinnati, or Dayton. Take care, Tom- Tango Yankee

What About Hoodies Under Leather Jackets?
I'm with you on this one, Hutch. For some reason the term "hoodie" just grates on my nerves. Not sure why; I don't have anything against the garments themselves though I rarely wear one these days. Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

Vintage professions you'd like to see come back.....
Thanks for the photo, Kahuna! I've looked for pictures of those later Helm's trucks as those are the ones I remembered, but usually all you can find are the older ones. Remember that wonderful scent that wafted out of the truck when the driver pulled open those rear doors? :dance: Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

SPAM and the Second World War?
:offtopic: Continuing off-topic... When I was stationed on Guam in the mid-90s I remember reading that the inhabitants of Guam were the highest per-capita consumers of two products: Spam and Budwieser. I must admit I'd never known there were so many varieties of Spam before I ventured into a...- Tango Yankee

Misconceptions of World War II
When I was stationed in Germany my BMW motorcycle club took a tour of one of the Maginot Line forts. It was an amazing facility! We were told that the one that we toured was not captured by the Germans, and indeed did not open up, until a French general was brought to the site and ordered them...- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Man, I hate it when that happens! :eusa_doh: I think that most of us can probably relate to that; I know that I've stumbled across a hat or two in the last moments of an auction and on first glance it looks like a great idea, so I bid... only to realize that a. there's something about it that...- Tango Yankee
