    I HATE HATS!!!

    "In the middle way lies virtue" To live in a hide-bound straight jacket of convention and dictated behavior is not living. On the other hand, not being respectful of other folk's needs and comfort is not conducive to a harmonious and pleasant experience for anyone. LET COMMON SENSE PREVAIL.

    Fountain pen aficionados: I need an extra-fine point

    I know you're asking about fountain pens, so if this is of no use, ignore it, but if you write at home a lot, you might look into dip pens. I have several, and most of the nibs I've got are as sharp as a needle, and you can get a line so fine it'll boggle your brain. Luck to ya.

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Undershirts It is currently 100 degrees, so I am indoors wearing a "wifebeater" undershirt, so as not to frighten the dog by going bare chested. Forgive that appellation but I don't know what they are properly called in NA, although I believe they are known as "vests" in the UK. Anyhow, I...

    Hat Rescue with photos

    A thousand vintage thanks, Gentlemen. Now a couple more just to set my aging pate at ease. The naptha after it dries in the hat is safe for one's skin/hair? And no residual odour? Gracias otra vez.

    Hats As Sun Protection, NOT Just for Bald Men

    Growing up in Texas and New Mexico, my mom put Stetsons on us at an early age, because of the protection they offered. Dad refused to teach us flyfishing if we weren't wearing one. As time went by my brothers left their hats behind, opting in later years for ball caps. About thirty years ago I...

    The Internet, circa 1934

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Cool jacket! As to carrying water, I use a WW2 Canadian Army canteen that came as part of a ruck kit. Wool covered, enameled steel, cork stopper. I too hate plastic anything, especially as a vessel for drinking out of. This, as in so many things, shows how the old time, tried and true is best
