Good to know. Thank you.
"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed."...We shouldn't forget, that while the new-found ease of publication has provided us with an era of information - it has also provided us with an era of misinformation. It's not, that there aren't holes in the bullsh*t out there ... they are just sometimes very hard to find ...
ound:...I kind of liked the story - and it fit so well with the fact, that CIA kept Lee H. Oswald hidden away in a desert camp, until he was sent to Abbottabad to kill Bin Laden. Just in time, as Mr. Laden was about to reveal, that it actually was Elvis who killed JFK and his brother. Oh yeah ... if people only knew ...!!! lol
... If you want to learn "the truth", do your own research, do it thoroughly, and draw your own conclusions.

Stetson Stratoliner, early to mid-'40s based on the price tag, size label, crest, etc. It's in great condition and the sweatband is soft, pliable and appears almost new. Unlined, with no crown tip, it appears to have never had either. Compared to post-War Stetsons the felt is less dense and the pouncing is courser, but it is easily shaped and re-shaped. All of these lead me to believe it was produced when fur and other materials were scarce due to wartime restrictions, and is typical of the entry level hat it was at the time.
That's one of the reasons I used quotation marks around "the truth"--"truth" can be based on any number of factors an individual might apply to it, intentionally or not.And if "the truth" is what one is really after, he must also be on guard against his own biases and fondest wishes. People have this amazing ability to disregard that which challenges what they most wish to be true.
Now that's a good hat for sun and rain protection. And it looks good on you! :thumb:just got a new akubra for rain and walking' what s sweet deal and wears like a champ very strong and outdoorsy...
