    Boater faction!

    I think that's just the hat folks wear when they're trying to get good reception for their radio.... or not? Anyway, here's my humble submission. I got from the man known only as... Buler! And I have to say it's one of my favorite lids! Unfortunately boater's aren't very practical for everyday...

    The Open Road Guild

    Here's mine... I'm not sure how old it is. But aside from the wind cord, it looks pretty close to the pic.

    THE STEVENS SPOTLIGHT

    Well here's my submission for The Stevens Spotlight! It's also my very first fedora, originally belonging to my Grandfather. I inherited this in around 1976...maybe 77? It still has pieces of a Christmas ceremony with the words from silent night from our church. You know I always kind of...

    Anyone know when Stevens put ribbons on the back of their fedoras? I have a Pacesetter that I'm thinking is maybe around the 50's or 60's?? Is Stevens a well known name?

    The Brass Rooster in Milwaukee

    So my missus and I were in Milwaukee and found time to stop by The Brass Rooster. 1st let me say that the shop is in one of my old stomping grounds in the Bayview area of Milwaukee. About ten to fifteen years ago this area was really taking a hit and the old Ma and Pa stores were moving out due...

    I need to clean a nasty smudge on the front of a brim ribbon. I looked around and even tried the search, but came up with no luck. I tried an eraser, some soap and water.... I'm thinking that some lighter fluid might work?

    New Ken Burns series this fall on PBS Prohibition

    Can you imagine the photography that this guy has probably compiled in order to make this documentary? I mean when you do a search on Prohibition, you tend to get the same images over and over again. So I can't wait to see what new pics he's dug up...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    See! Here he goes again! That's class! I'll bet those girls will have those hats forever and remember who gave them to em. Something like that makes me want to do business with someone! Very Sharp!

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    You know, I have to agree! To do something like that for a customer, especially in this day and age of folks screwing each other over just to get what they can... That really says something about a person AND the way they do business. That's class in my book!

    New Ken Burns series this fall on PBS Prohibition

    I honestly can't wait! All of his documentaries (The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, and The West) were just incredible! Rumor has it he's going to do one on The Dust Bowl?

    Very sharp! I love the candy colors! Especially the white and tan. I don't think I've seen one in that shade before.

    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    My Grandfather's baseball glove. I actually still have it right here on my desk. It's a 1962, Roger Maris, Spalding MVP 42-397. I remember that after my cheap second hand glove ripped out, my Grandmother gave me his. I remember that it was the only thing from home I took with me when I left...

    Famous Fedora Lovers

    Then there was Henny Youngman..."take my wife...please" Back around 1988 (maybe that was 86 or 87) I was working as a carpet cutter on Mitchell Street in Milwaukee and the boss came in with Henny Youngman. I was on break eating lunch when they came in. I immediately jumped up (mostly because...

    Terror attack in Oslo, Norway

    Agreed. Any where from the fact that Mommy and Daddy didn't love me or give me enough attention, to the people at the office think I'm a nut. Now is my big movie moment and I'm going to show everyone how important I can be. However it always involves innocent people and those who love them...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    If I'm right, this came out right around when Bonnie and Clyde came out, also very anti-establishment. But as far as Billy Jack is concerned it has one of the most famous lines as far as tough-guy one liners goes... "You know what I think I'm gonna do then... just for the hellovit. I'm gonna...
