    For the want of a nail----

    Your right. Civilized people kill people and burn cars and building when their sports team win or loose. Not because of a cartoon.

    For the want of a nail----

    Well it won't start Armageddon, but it could start another war. Many people don't understand that this is not about a "cartoon." It's not a Far Side that's gone amuck. This is a blatant full on attack on their religious core. It's like Ozzie taking a wiz on the Alamo.

    New tome Open Road

    It's a 7 1/8 wide oval. It's not green. I'm just saying there's hints of green. I guess it's a silver belly like mine.. only darker ... with the hint of green. Just got it tonight. I'm not sure though the big difference between say my 3X open road and Stetson 25 Open road. The 25 feels...

    New tome Open Road

    Hey RBH... I went to school in Southern MO about an hour from Ar-Kansas. Update on the newtome open road. I did an second steaming and moved the pinch up a bit like Jimmy's hat. And.. I just picked up another Open Road! This one's super nice, a stetson 25! with the box, windcord...

    Have you been getting burned on ebay lately?

    Where did you see this law? I've never heard of it? Is it a state law in NY? I know some states classify antique autos as over 25 years old, so are they in violation of this law?

    depression-era style photoshoot

    What are those for? It's a nice look. Half of them look casted right. The guy with the flames tatoo really doesn't fit. Again... what is this for?

    Nice hat-wearing weather.

    I don't wear my "good" fedoras out in the rain, but I do wear my everyday Stetson Fedora (lightly beat up late 40's model). It's dark brown with an olive ribbon. Hides wear and tear pretty good. Now if it's pouring I wear a boonie or just take an umbrella. But never go hat-less.

    Wing Tips

    I do love a good wingtip. But for everyday wear I own a pair of Docs wingtips in brown. The soles are not bad, not too thick. And if you buy them from England or Canada you can get them in half sizes. But I wouldn't wear them with a suit. They're not "Wing-Tip" enough. Like...

    Not so Crazy Hat Idea

    Okay, I have another Not So Crazy Hat idea. Since this is the Fedora Lounge and everyone here basically has or wants a fedora.. a few of us have more than one... We should start a photo page of makers and models. A reference page if you will. Say I wanted to see what a Stetson Open Road...

    I'm guessing they just left it there.

    What a Deal

    is it really that faded or is it just the photo? That could be why you got it so cheap!

    Buster Keaton's "The General"

    I think it's one of his best. Especially the picture of train in his house cracks me up even today just thinking about it. A side note: The locomotive that goes over the bridge was a real one, not a miniature! Talk about a one take on that one.

    Gillette Double Razor Restoration

    Thanks for the advice.... Since it's the adjustable one, I wanted to lube it to make sure everything works fine, especially after I wash/alcohol it. It's not rusty or bent. I like to tinker and thought maybe I should take it apart to make sure it's all in good working order. On a...

    My first project

    Nice buys! I also think that grey one might look better as a homburg as the rim edge is so thick. The felt looks really soft in the pics. Does it have a model name? But that aside, you did a great job with the tea kettle! I never realize how easy it is to do. It makes you look at old...

    Gillette Double Razor Restoration

    I just picked up a nice used Gillette Safety Razor that's adjustable. Is there a site that shows how to restore or maintain it? And whats the best way to sanitize it?

    Pencil Mustache

    I think that's Orlando with his version of Full Beard! I'd try the pencil, but I hate shaving and I'd have to shave every day. I get by with a stubble-full beard or goatee as I can skip a day or two. I have gone with the biker and it looks good on my face, but I look mean with and the...
