    Very Surprised

    Thanks partner.. I appreciate that. The funny thing is that I wear a ball cap on the range and sometimes on duty. Hell, I'll even wear an old Milwaukee Braves hat when I go to the game. So in no way was I trying to be all GRRRRrrrr and waving a temperance banner. I just thought it would allow...

    Very Surprised

    I'm sorry, it was the cheesy anti baseball cap league thread. Again NOT supposed to be serious and just for the record this is also written in a very affable tone. Who knows, maybe I should post smiley faces all over my posts from now on?

    Old smells, that immeditately transport you back in time?

    Old car smell or should I say vintage car smell. Unless you own one or have ridden in one, you might not know what I mean. In 92 I got home from the service and the 1st car I bought with my GI savings bonds was a mist green, 58 Plymouth Savvoy... Sucker had a push button tranny, 2 in the goo...

    Very Surprised

    OK fellas, I have to say that in no way was I actually even in a remote manner SERIOUS about any ANTI-ball cap position, opinion or otherwise paramilitary activity. I mean seriously reread my post.... It was meant in a HA HA manner. Not Ha, Ha get a rope, Grrrr! I mean I even created a cheesy...

    Now that is a perfect hat! That is exactly what I have been looking for, for years!

    THE MALLORY MILE

    No I don't have a Mallory... But I LOVE these ads! I'm wondering how a Mallory was as far as quality and popularity?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I get the same "feedback" from my "radio". yesterday I found three of my hats moved and carelessly thrown into a clothes basket in my office.... I swear I was so furious I was speaking in foreign tongues of long dead languages! Sure they take up some space. But look sharp and have more character...

    Anti Baseball Cap League?

    I am hereby forming a non-militant (in other words lazy) anti-baseball cap league. Yes dear friends, we will purge the world of baseball caps like a fashion enema and return their use to those that SHOULD be wearing them... Baseball Players! Now repeat after me... "Unless I'm carrying a ball...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    You look sharp kid! Don't make excuses AND don't sell yourself short! Instead you need to look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I know I look good!" The question is how good do I want to look today! Confidence little brother! Confidence!!

    Ask a question, get an answer

    OK so I found a pork pie that looks alright in a color and size I could get used to. Only thing is I noticed it was made of Dynafelt. Now I've always worn originals or a fur beaver brand and bailey that I really don't wear anymore... In other words I have no experience with this type of felt. If...

    Your mid-life crisis

    Mortality? Big time! On Jan 5th I had a gangbanger try to kill me at work. Since then I have been dealing with a concussion and all the crap that comes with it. If I wouldn't have been on my A-game and read the signs, I have no doubt he would have killed me. The only thing that kept me alive...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    Do you think that maybe age is also a factor? For instance; I'm thinking that a younger or more opinionated person making a stupid and immature comment toward someone who appears closer to their age would be more likely than if they made a comment toward someone older... I say this because ever...

    May I borrow your hat blocks? Your hat?

    WOW! That is interesting!

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I agree! I really like the subtle color and the use of a light colored ribbon! I think that lid would go with anything! VERY sharp!

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    I think the goal is to get the college aged men an women wearing them. Even if they start with a simple stingy, once you get them hooked, the goal is to then move em to a fedora! I have been seeing plenty of straw stingys and triblys and fedoras being worn here in town. Seems that more of the...

    Millers Crossing

    So I've probably seen this a couple dozen times. But I have to say that I never get tired of this movie! I love the writing, the characters... hell, I even love the camera angles that they used! This is probably one of my favorite scenes, because it's not what I expected when I first saw...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    That's crazy! I mean I love my hats and I'm proud of our folks that stick to their guns and dress vintage, retro, Rockabilly and any other title you might want to give it. But that's a level of scarecrow that no wizard can fix! I mean seriously, I give you credit for keeping your cool!

    Congrats on retiring from the Dept.! I've been a Deputy for about 8 years now(My 3rd career) and having been injured the 5th of January, I worrying that I might not be able to go back. Kinda scary... Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due!
