    I'm not sure that going full throttle in reverse can really be described as 'leading', Carebear. That's the only trouble with democracy. We let politicians make laws - for political reasons.

    FA: Mallory Ten fedora beige 7 1/4

    Sweet lid Buler. I have just two small complaints: 1. It's not grey....or even gray; and 2. I'm not in the United States. How about we strike a deal? I'll overlook 1. above cos it's such a lovely hat - if you'll overlook 2?

    We often have calls for similar legislation here Atticus - particularly following some awful crime committed by juveniles. But it doesn't make a lot of sense to argue that minors lack capacity to vote, make contracts, etc, but do have adult capacity to commit crimes. I'm no softy, but I...

    I'm no use to you at all on this one Dreispitz. Perhaps one of our US colleagues may offer some clue.

    Australian 1930ies Hats

    A warm welcome to the Lounge Selvaggio. There may well be something in what you say re us wearing our hats till they turn to dust on our heads. It's also true that we didn't make hats in the volume of the US makers. As for NOS - I've never heard of any. But if any did turn up, it would...

    Australian 1930ies Hats

    I suspect the harsh climate does have something to do with it Cookie. We sweat a lot into our Akubras and that doesn't make for well preserved hats. We were also a very small population compared to, say, the USA, so numbers of hats produced will be far smaller. Still, every photo you see of...

    Australian 1930ies Hats

    Of course, the lifesavers have iconic status in Australia - this incredible volunteer army in funny caps who risk their lives to save hundreds of people every year. Here's their modern equivalents - still in funny caps:

    Thanks for that Dreispitz. Unfortunately, Australian vintage fedoras rarely turn up for sale today, even in our thrift shops. I guess the population was small and the hats well worn.

    Kiddies in Gaol Hells Bells you American colleagues! I've just read in the latest ABA Journal that in Pennsylvania and Florida 7 year olds can receive a manadatory life sentence without parole! I believe the proper legal term is WTF?! Has it ever happened?

    Lawyer in lid Today was a toss-up between these two: The one on the left (Dobbs 15 "Gay Blade") won the day.

    You're onto something Gene. Our secret cameras picked this up at Sue's place... The suspect was heard to be mumbling...."I'll get you this time, Mario..."

    Stetson Stuff

    Thanks Lefty. The Stetson hospital appears to be all that's left - and I assume the store facade on Chestnut. I liked this: "The Stetson hat Factory is a prime example of late 19th and early 20th century industrial production and urban company town that was the center of the its community...
