    Tasmanian Blundstone Boots

    Tasmanian Blundstone Boots Every time I see someone asking about the quality of Blundstone boot; the conversation seems to go directly to the fact they are made in Thailand and India now, not Australia. Nothing to do with quality. Here is the reference...

    Motorcycle Jackets and a Fedora?

    I am looking at buying a new leather jacket and and I am leaning towards a Biker style. Kind of like the one you see House wear in the Fox television show. Now does anyone have any opinions on how a fedora and a jacket like that look together? Sharp? Silly? Am I nuts? Any input would be nice...

    How to bash your hat, modify the brim and get it to fit just right.

    Many times the question has been raised "How do I bash my hat" "Do I use steam or water?" "My hat is to big. How do I shrink it down?" Well how about giving the Monte Walsh method a try. It will help conform your hat to your heads shape and size, make the brim flexible and the crown pliable...
