    Sky Captain Review!!!

    When logic takes over I loved the movie to but logic got the best of me at the end. If the robot were so advanced and the inventor was so smart couldn't he have made his own generators rather than steal them from under the city????

    Fur felt and rain

    I wanted to know if there is a proper way to dry a wet hat, I got caught in the rain yesterday and my felt western hats I always just let air dry on a peg. Thats what I did with the fedora but I don't know if that is correct since it has the softer felt and snap brim.

    Lee's Water block

    How to age Art, Is there really a way you can date a hat? I have one Lee and the sweatband was too dry when it tried it on and the whole thing tore out. Is there some little hint on each hat to date it with or is it just style and overall appearance?
