Briggs Stadium in Detroit (1940s)

Learn Our History Today: On December 5, 1839, General George Armstrong Custer was born in New Rumley, Ohio. Raised in Monroe, Michigan, Custer briefly taught school after graduating high school but soon decided he would enroll at West Point. Custer was well known for his pranks and high jinks...

Out last night to the theater with the newly reconditioned Deluxe Royal Stetson Stetsonian .c 1940s.

Are you talkin’ to me? ARE YOU TALKIN’ TO ME! (Classic poodle head tilt!)

Just ran across your post. Funny you mentioned that because I received a similar comment last winter. Amongst my hats I have a Scala crushable wool felt Aussie style hat which I’ve had for years and it shows it. Still a comfy hat that I wear often in cooler weather. I showed up for a hair...

Passed out…

I haven’t posted on the forum in ages but thought I’d share this. Thought I’d share a recently restored/reclaimed vintage Fedora that came to me. I have all kinds of hats and yes I do wear wide-brimmed Fedoras and own a few others. We recently were closing up my MIL’s condo after an estate...

I shoot a Cimarron Thunderer, Ruger Vaquero and Winchester M94 Trapper, all in .44 Special. Shotgun is a Baikal Bounty Hunter in 12 Ga. I load my own .44Sp that duplicates the Winchester Cowboy load, which if memory serves me is 5.1 gr of Win231 with a 240 grain lead flat nose bullet. So...

Thought I'd share some pics of an historic hat a friend of mine recently was given. That's right, given as in gratis by someone he had just met at a living history gathering. Once he saw it he questioned the fellow several times if he was sure he wanted to give it to him, recognizing the...
