    The Conversion Corral

    My first handmade block. I chose the flat top because I wanted to see if it would create a more square bash. Kind of like the campaign hats on "Hostiles". Sent from my LGL56VL using Tapatalk

    The Conversion Corral

    I hope your surgery works out well. It's been about ten years since my first one( my condition shows on my latest MRI to be degenerative, so I will certainly have at least one more)and while it greatly improved my condition, I have still not been able to go back to work. Take good care of...

    The Conversion Corral

    I forgot my American Hat Co. wool conversion. This and my dark brown fedora conversion will be my camping/woodcraft hat. It fits like it was made for me. I'm a 7 5/8 LO but this 3/4 fits great! The ribbon will be changed when I find the right one. Sent from my LGL56VL using Tapatalk

    The Conversion Corral

    I know this has probably been answered here before but I've gotten lazy in my old age. Where do all you guys buy your sweatbands? I need to replace a couple on my conversions.

    Western, anyone?

    There is a site somewhere on the net claiming that it is in development but the site is at least 10 years old! I lost hope it would be made a long time ago. Sad.

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    I just watch a video biography about his brother. He was truly a hero and it's a shame his actions have been overshadowed by his brother's foolish ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Custer

    The Conversion Corral

    Well it looks like I have another Lounger to compete against for hats to convert. Good to see you here and that is a great hat to convert. Good luck.

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    Since I'm not married and had to sale my class ring for scrap years ago, I only wear a (silver) monogrammed pinky ring.

    Yes,it is in fact. As far as I'm concerned he was the real Indiana Jones.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    I hate to see this thread die. Anyone got any new adventures ahead or recently enjoyed? I've started metal detecting myself. I know not very adventurous but it's gets me out to new historic places in search of interesting relics. In addition,I get to wear my safari and khaki outfits while doing it.

    Movie hats

    I came across a short article on the Texas Historical site about some of Quantrill's "doings" in Texas and along the border. https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fqu03

    Movie hats

    Quantrill and his men spent a lot of time in and around here in Sherman especially during winter. There should be some sites around here if you haven't visited yet.

    Show us your Vintage Rucksacks!

    I just landed a very clean Swedish M39 on OFAS. The problem is that it lacks the frame. If anyone has one they want to get rid of or knows of a place I can get one, please let me know. Either by message reply or private. It is the cleanest ruck I've seen for quite some time. Posting pics on arrival.

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    I knew if I waited, I would eventually find the perfect hat to convert and I finally did. All I need is the right ribbon (on it's way)and to add the sewing on the brim and I will have my long awaited 1889 campaign. I'll post the final product when I'm done. I hope everyone else still has the...

    The Fall of the Moustache

    I've had no negative reaction to my moustache(to my knowledge) and I'd only give it a weak 8. As far as maintainance, I've only ever needed a blow dryer and a Kent moustache comb. I've had my mo since July 2015 and never trimmed it and only tried waxing once (rips out hairs). It's annoying on...

    The Fall of the Moustache

    I think it will have to be the handlebar or some other long style that will make the come back stick. I know I said it in my other post but that's how it took hold in the 1800's. The long beard is the cool thing now just as it was in the mid 19th century. Then gradually morphed into the long...
