    New tome Open Road

    I didn't realize it's so easy to do either. I might not pass over a few styles from now on, because I didn't like the way they look... when all it takes is a few minutes on the tea kettle...

    The Wingnut Fedora

    Funny as I just started a thread on my first open road today and wanted to know about reshapping it. Those pics are just what I was looking for, as the open road is a little too brokeback for me. I steamed mine a bit yesterday, and I think it's going to be steamed a lot more this...

    you know I saw this exact question posed to a popular magazine this month. I forget what advice they offered.

    Elegant or Clownish? You decide ...

    I like that suit. If that suit were made in polyester with that great plastic sheen, then yes, used car sales man but only with a loud tie and black "comfy" shoes. But with a nice pair of wingtips, fedora with a light hint of yellow band and it's sweet.

    New tome Open Road

    I didn't wear it today. I'll check when I get home. I know eddie's been around and I guess someone bought it at the store in Seattle since its on the band. no windcord but that could have been taken off years ago. I'll give more deteails when I get home.

    The perfect Cup of Joe.

    I forgot one my favorite coffees is French Market coffee with chickory. If you've never had coffee with chickory then you just have to try some.

    New tome Open Road

    Do you have any pictures... I steamed it last night with good results, but not great results, if you know what I mean. It's pretty soft so I'm guessing 50's. it's odd to see eddie bauer inside it though so maybe I'm way off. I like the brim down in the front and think I'll try it with this...

    do you have a picture of that hat? I might want to do the same thing as the open road if very cowboy-ish.

    The perfect Cup of Joe.

    Everyone seems to be missing the best part of making a cup-o-joe... the coffee. It determines how it tastes. You can use folgers in a finest stove top coffee maker and it'll still taste like a cup of folgers. My coffee routine is first fresh grind the beans minutes before using. I use the...

    New tome Open Road

    Just picked up my first 3x Stetson Open Road yesterday. It's actually stamped on the sweatband Eddie Bauer Seattle. I didn't know they carried them. The brim was a bit mis-shaped. How much curl does an Open Road have? Or is it flat. I steamed it uniformed, but it seems like a lot of curl...

    avirex?

    One war time manufacturer was known for the rounded collar. I forget which one... maybe raincoat or that K one... Throw a patch on that jacket and no one will be looking at the collar.

    What constitutes vintage?

    "Vintage" is like "Like New" it's anything you want it to be, especially when it comes to people selling something. If you really want to get percise, then say 1920's, 1930's, 1940's and so on. In the scheme of things modern suits and hats really are not that old. Not like coins or...
