Filtering Vodka
Filtering to improve Vodka? I'd have reservations about that. Much of the mega-buck vodka is distilled multiple times rather than filtered multiple times. There isn't much left of vodka by the time it's ready for the bottle save for alcohol and water. It seems that all the rounds of...- Boodles

Good looking boaters that won't break the bank?
Wearing my boater All I have is one of those off-the-peg Miller boaters with the blue and red ribbon. It's not old enough to be yellowed at all and it's as stiff as Oddjobs hat. I took it to the Abacos (Bahamas) in January, along with a blue seersucker jacket and a navy blazer. Although I... -
Post New Hats Here!
Ande, what a deal! What great luck and you really spruced it up. You said that you "dunked it." Please fill in the details, if you don't mind. Dunked in water or, left in the sweat and the liner, left the ribbon on? I cannot yet imagine having the courage to do that. I've got a green stingy... -

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
I have had good luck with a brand called Wathen Gardiner made, I think, in England. I have both the Orvis breeks as you show in your post and a pair made by Wathen Gardiner. Except that the Orvis version is a bit larger in the waist the breeks appear the same to me. Both are 36" but the Orvis is...- Boodles

The Evening Tipple...
I ended up with a couple Vespers I started out with a new bottle of 12 yr Elijah Craig, which has just about become my go to, but I found this bottle to have sort of a straw taste and odor. Imagine, if you can, un-aged Maker's Mark. This bottle of Craig is just not good at all. Years ago I had...- Boodles

What is your favorite hat crease?
Howard Hughes' Bash The History Channel had a good piece on Howard Hughes last night. I was, of course, paying as close attention the hats in the old footage as I was the story. One brief clip, near the part of the story about the Hercules (Spruce Goose), had a shot of Mr Hughes taken from an... -

Quote: Just when I thought it safe to back into the jungle... When you see dry goods like these "Safari" jackets, offered in pistachio or bubble gum, one has to wonder what in the world Orvis is thinking. To save time and shop wear these tacky things should just go directly into the Tent Sale...- Boodles

The Evening Tipple...
Quote : Beer-wise....still partial to Guinness Guinness is hard to beat. Unfortunately, I'm a bit spoiled from recently visiting Ireland for 15 days where I had occasion to visit a few public houses many of which purveyed Guinness, Guinness which was probably still on the hoof a day or so prior...- Boodles

The Evening Tipple...
Tonight After a day of wading through January actual vs budget reports looking for answers which probably aren't there I think I'll leave the top on the Boodles tonight, taking a cue from Mr. MK, and opt for something stained. It seems like a good time to uncork one of those jars of malt...- Boodles

Custom Flat Caps?
Cap maker There is a woman in the UK who has made a few caps for me, mostly 8 panel, which I've been really happy with. I bought some stuff from her on OFAS but also had some other stuff made, stuff which was out of her normal product line. Shipping to the "colonies" from the UK was no... -

Akubra Riverina safari-ized
OK, Outbackoutlet Scores Again I couldn't stand it any longer and clicked off my order yesterday. Apparently we have not yet totally depleted the inventory. I hope I can manage to tie a pug similar to those done by AlanC and Mike K, I really like how those turned out. If no, I'll order the... -

How many hats do you own?
How many hats... Although I'm exposing my flanks to say so, I probably have more hats than my wife has pairs of shoes. Counting the Stratoliner, misc Stetson and Dobbs fedoras, bowler, homburg, panamas, boater, bucket, piths, soviet era ushankas, leather 8 panel, and the 15 tweedy 8 panel... -
Borso Allessandria tagged size 59 - Interest Check
Something in blue would be nice to have. This one may be a bit large for me, given that it's marked 59. You are saying that it's closer to 58mm but I'm even smaller, right at 22-5/8 or 57.5mm. I don't have anything to trade except money.- Boodles

Gin Lovers Unite!
Boodles, from which I pirated my name for this forum, Beefeaters, Plymounth, and either of the Bombay versions are all quite nice gin. If you have not tried Gordon's in a long while, especially if you mix gin, you owe it to Bogey to fetch yourself a jar. For many of us who best know Commander...- Boodles

New Gus Miller Custom "Bogart"
Nice Bogart replica with a very nice hand bash. It's interesting how fussy many of us are about getting the bash just so when compared with the occasional lumpy bash I see if I look carefully at Bogart's hat, especailly when viewing a good quality DVD. __________________ "Use enough gun"...
