Unreal, absolutely incredible. -
Old Havana is falling into ruins
I really don't get this idea that restoration and cleaning turn a place into Disney Plastinations. I'm hearing it here in New Orleans, too. The city of New Orleans has done ONE thing right since the storm, and that is contract out garbage pickup and clean up. It's my understanding that the...- RedPop4

Old Havana is falling into ruins
OF course there's an elephant in the room here, but we can't and shan't mention it. This is heartrending, to say the least. As a lover of cigars, a Spanish-speaker, someone who wants history preserved where possible, this is beyond sad. And once Cuba is free, again, I fear the U. S...- RedPop4

Moderators not doing their jobs...
There's a good deal of irony in what I'm reading, and what I believe concerning free speech and the founding of this nation. I've heard it stated, many times and places, that the Founding Fathers of the United Sta tes intended the guarantee of freedom of speech to be political speech. This is...- RedPop4

That's not the case, exactly. My organ-builder is from Teeside and isn't into football. He enjoys motorsport which appeals to his sense of the mechanical seeing he builds pipe organs for a living.- RedPop4

I MUST hijack this thread for a few posts. I see a few Britons on this post, including a true Cockney. What football club does a TRUE Cockney support? And the rest of you? Yes, I know. :offtopic: Thanks to all for their patience with my boorish, yobbish ways. My apologies.- RedPop4

Moderators not doing their jobs...
It's more than just the e-mail address. It's the culture that is created by the owners and administrators when the forum is young. The continued involvement of either the original owners and mods. and FOGs. As warbird has said, the atmosphere was created, certain things were not tolerated early...- RedPop4

Borsalino in Sweden
That is a great hat, in my opinion. I really like that color, and the brim width. Nice job getting that one. -

Thanks for the compliment, warbird. Truer words have never been spoken. The perverse pleasure some get, by making others angry is simply incomprehensible to me.- RedPop4

Technical Hat Terms
I thought that "bash" was a TFL term. I seem to recall Art Fawcett and other hatters mentioning that term as an amatuer term, and not one the hatters use. -

Was wool felt even used...?
But not as deep as Noo Awlins. Of course, we consider ourselves more Caribbean than Deep South. The Deep South is across the lake, or over in Mississippi from heeyah. -

Where in the "deep south?" That's new to me. -
Was wool felt even used...?
Why WOULDN'T they have wool hats back then? Humankind has been breeding sheep for wool for millennia. Remember, as well, that the "Golden Era" as it's so lovingly referred to, was not an easy time for most people. The entire world was in economic depression for nearly ten years, then a war for... -
A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
I guess I see things differently from the group. I DO see a consensus, but not for a single model. Way early in the thread, I saw two models, generally agreed upon..... a Whippet-like hat a reproduction of the TFL logo. For a group this diverse, settling on two is quite an accomplishment.
