    stetson nostalgia specs?

    Yup, this is the route I went; I got one in Moonstone, which is very close to the Stetson Caribou color... I saw a comparison of the two side-by-side and the Caribou Nostalgia looked dirty compared to the Moonstone Fed IV. I evened the brim to almost an exact 2.5" around but left the ribbon...

    stetson nostalgia specs?

    Correct; I've contacted them several times trying to get any of the Christy's hats with custom specs and they've noted that they no longer accept customizations. While it is true that each hat is made to order, that means made when the order comes in and not with the specs requested. The...

    Anyone ride motorcycles?

    That's where the battery resides when not in use, and since it's a newer battery I'm surprised it can't keep a charge. I'll have to likely end up getting a new one, I'm just lazy. :D

    Anyone ride motorcycles?

    I used to ride a 2005 Suzuki GSXR600, but downgraded to a simple 2010 Ninja 250 when that model came out. I've had various other bikes, such as a YZ for motocross, an old Honda CBR cafe racer style, and eventually hope to get a classic styled Harley such as a Fat Boy, but for now I just put put...

    I'm sure i'll live to regret this!

    I can't believe that you didn't notice before that this is a group of enablers, not a support group. :D At any rate, the way I see it, jackets are like hats; you need one for every occasion... and even every season. There is no shame in admitting this nor in acting on it...

    stetson nostalgia specs?

    You can still find some specs on Stetson's website, and the 2.5" raw brim is what they have listed. And I have also read elsewhere (can't remember the site) that yes, the open crown is 5.5". These are very hard to find, I searched quite a while for a size 7 caribou, but the only sites that...

    WTB - Knox 40

    I was a day late in finding a recent Knox 40 listing, and after seeing the pics, I fell in love with the hat. I was wondering if anyone had one in a size 7, preferably grey, with the 2.5" brim w/felted edging, that they were intending to sell? I'm considering getting something similar custom...

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Everyone has different opinions about style, and some of the old doesn't mix well with the new. Some people follow rules to the letter and some use them as more of a guideline. The OP wanted to share their newfound knowledge, not bother people with trolling statements, so IMO, we should move...

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    This is true. I work for an insurance company in the IT department, and while our company does have a "business casual" dress code, I typically dress a little nicer. People think I'm eccentric here, and that's ok by me... but it's never meant to be a distraction to others, and hopefully the...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I'm fairly new to pipes, and although I smoke the occasional bowl of black cherry, or something that was labeled extra-smooth at the tabac, I don't know the brand and don't know the differences between them. Anyone have suggestions on brands or helpful hints of what I should taste vs what's...

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    I make my own rules too, and although I'm neither a prince or an entertainer, I still don't need to worry. :D

    Melton -- "Art in Hats"

    I really like these Melton hats, it gives me another classic style to strive for along with the Knox hats I've seen.

    Observations on Santa...

    I grew a full beard once, couldn't stand it... partly because it was itchy and partly because there was more white than anything in it... so I doubt I'll ever reach stage 4. Of course, with my build, and unfortunate hobbling at times (bad back) I'd look more like Gandalf than Santa if I grew my...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    The first cigars I had were Garcia y Vega many years ago. I enjoyed another Patron tonight, and am planning on taking out my pipe tomorrow with some black cherry.

    New Years Eve

    We don't typically celebrate New Year's Eve the way most do; my wife is Asian and we tend to celebrate Chinese New Year's more... especially since it's a longer party (typically a week).

    Martini FAQ

    Excellent write-up, and I have never tried my dry Martini's with lemon, but knowing that the purist would prefer (and I'm generalizing based on my understanding of the underlying tone) that olives only go in a dirty Martini, I may have to try the lemon twist after all...
