Experience of service in the Armed Forces
Joined the Air Force soon after high school, 1975. I lived in a small rural town in Michigan and, if not for my choice to serve, would probably still be working there in some menial job or have died of misadventure long ago. The service gave me everything; training, experience, a college...- skydog757

Hawaiian shirts and fedoras
Great hats and shirts, guys. But don't you almost have to wear sunglasses with the combo? I think it just sells the whole attitude. -
WTB: Flat Cap/Newsboy Cap
Also take a look at B!Wear caps; as above they are very high quality/value. Brett does a lot of custom work for a very reasonable price.- skydog757

Very nice; is that the original crease? Have you tried other shapes?Can I ask why you had the brim trimmed down? Do you still have the box? Thanks.- skydog757

Can we still pm or is it all posting? Just wondering; is this a photo of the actual hat? Does it still have the brim binding?- skydog757

Post New Hats Here!
I've had multiple dealings with Half Price Paulie and he has always been honest, straightforward and willing to work with me; especially on multiple purchases. He has great prices on quality merchandise. My wife hates him. -
A Toast To The Bartenders
Appreciate all of the effort that this must have taken. On a site that celebrates how great things used to be, making changes could not have been easy. -
favorite director of all time?
If you like Charles Bronson, I highly recommend Hard Times (1975). It plays to Bronson's strengths (quiet, confident menace), gives him plenty to do and not much to say. James Coburn does enough talking for both of them. This was Hill's first film as a director, although he was also a script...- skydog757

favorite director of all time?
Me, I like a great deal of Walter Hill's work. It's a rather narrow range, but all excellent for their genre: Hard Times The Warriors The Long Riders Southern Comfort 48 Hrs. Streets of Fire (Yeah, I know, but I did enjoy it.) Undisputed (Same.) He uses economy in dialog, letting the...- skydog757

Hat style
No one is saying that you don't look good in the hat, rather the hat doesn't look good on you. The color is nice and you might want to consider one in that color (or silverbelly, grey, etc.) because you're going to want a hat that is versatile. I agree that a band is an easy fix, but why buy... -

PORTIS PATH
Right now you probably wouldn't. It needs a thorough cleaning, new ribbon and bash; I got this for a very low Buy It Now. I will send the pics from ebay when I can access them at home. -
PORTIS PATH
After an initial brushing, there is some adhesive in a faint outline in the size/shape of some previous posts. So, question answered, thank you. Was there a correlation between the price and quality of the hat and whether a liner was installed, or was it more a matter of when the hat was... -
PORTIS PATH
Acquired a Portis off of Ebay this week; like the majority described here it is indeed "filthy". I't a pork pie style, heathered black fur felt with 2" stitched brim. It has no liner or sticker/patch which brings my question; was it typical of Portis to not line their hats? Many that I've... -
Movie sidekicks?
Chief Dan George stole pretty much every scene he had in The Outlaw Josey Wales from Clint Eastwood. Since Eastwood was the director, I'm sure he knew a good thing when he saw it.- skydog757

What was the last TV show you watched?
How To Get Away With Murder, the first season on Netflix. My wife and I didn't start to pay attention to this show until it was about 5-6 episodes in; we are currently on episode 8. We decided to take in the entire first season before we start to watch the new episodes which we are recording...- skydog757

Terms Which Have Disappeared
A phrase that has fallen into disuse is "Very well then" which, in context, usually signified that the conversation was over and was followed by whatever solution was arrived at ("Very well then, I'll pack my bags and be on my way in the morning.") Also seeing less use is "That's all well and...- skydog757

Inspector Lestrade of Sherlock Holmes mysteries
I've always disliked the dynamic between Holmes and Watson in that series of films. I much prefer the more recent Robert Downey Jr/Jude Law films and the Elementary television show that portrays them more as equal partners. In fact, it could be argued that Watson is the more mature of the two...- skydog757
