    Lizzie, "verily, there is nothing new under the sun." Maybe the times haven't changed as much as we think they have.

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    The models I mentioned seem to have a pinch toward the front, with brims down, as opposed to rolled western U. S. brims. I can get away with it here in New Orleans. I see hats of this nature all the time, here. It makes a great everyday, every other day/alternate with the true fedora option.

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    You go, Will. As for using it only as a work hat.....I don't wear suit and tie much, so I could get away with wearing this to work and about town. This would be a daily beater for the most part. Again, if it's too western, I'm not considering it. I'm really torn over what to do with the next hat.

    Cooking Lesson Learned the Hard Way

    Take two of them. Arm them each with a "lance" (toothpick) then zap for 20 seconds. Watch carefully to see who wins the "joust."

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    And I believe I contributed THEN, too.:rage: :rage: I'm simply following the conversation.

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    I've got a modicum of pocket money just now, and I'm debating Akubra in my own mind. And going back and forth betwen a Cattleman, Territory, Colly, or Silver Spur. Then I complicate it by looking at the Campdraft, Squatter, and the other "fedora" or "city hats." What I like about the Akubra...

    Cooking Lesson Learned the Hard Way

    The grease fire analogy was particularly appropriate. I have a good friend who is trying to make it in the salsa/sauces business. He makes a fairly tasty mango-habanero salsa among other things. Anyway, it's the oil that gets you. Make sure to wash your hands with Dawn diswashing soap...

    The I'm-too-good-for-this-job Attitude

    If they choose not to take it, then who's fault is that? It shouldn't be forced on them, either. Many DO believe in giving it, and that, too, should not be forced. As much as we would like for everyone to be nice, kind, chivalrous, etc. You can't force people to be that way. It's always been...

    The I'm-too-good-for-this-job Attitude

    The burden doesn't have to be on the individual per se. However, it shouldn't be imposed on everyone by the government, either. Charity should begin with good will and giving, not demanded through taxation. I'm sorry. That's dancing on the edge of the line. I'm sorry if this inflames, I'm not...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    In order for "big business to pay their fair share" whatever the hell THAT means, they'll have to find that money somewhere. And that somewhere will be from those who "consume" from big business. That's right, the consumer. That'd be those of US who buy whatever that business is selling. No...

    Wool Felt vs. Fur Felt

    You're not totally wrong on this at all. There is an air of elitism and condescension here, sometimes, that can be intimidating. Don't let it bother you, instead take whatever knowledge you can glean from it and make informed choices. Like what you wear and wear what you like. Hell, some of us...

    Wool Felt vs. Fur Felt

    I have a couple wool hats that I really like. I have my "Official" Indy Dorfman Pacific that I wear on rainy days, or as a beater, and a Bailey.

    What musical instrument do you play..?

    I play the pipe organ and piano. Piano was my first instrument, I took lessons for ten years. I took one summer off in high school, and took basic organ lessons; enough to learn the stops and families of stops, as well as playing the pedals. I've been serving as a Pastoral musician in some...
