    Thoroughbred Hats?

    Was browsing ebay last week and came across a Thoroughbred Open Road styled hat that caught my eye. I had never heard of the brand and there doesn't appear to be much info on TFL and elsewhere on the web. It was a new listing with one bid and a buy it now price, normally I would have just...

    Great Shoe Shine Stands across the nation

    Thank god for Nordstrom's! I was stranded in the Aventura Mall in Florida last week as my wife, daughter and mother made the rounds when I remembered there might be a good shine to be had. I was wearing my Lucchese lizard skin ropers and figured they could use some pampering. I was thrilled...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Feels so good to wear my Montecristi in the winter Just spent a week in Miami with my clan visiting my mother and it was great getting an extra opportunity to wear my Gus Miller Montecristi mid winter. At the risk of offending some members...I hate Miami!!! I go there only because my 82...

    Cowboy Boots

    Hi Ishmael, here's one other direction to consider. All the boot brands mentioned are good to great and you would be happy with any well fitting pair, but when I first got the bug for western boots I took my tried and true "pre-owned off ebay" route. I own everything from Lucchese Classics to...

    How one old hat maker survives

    Isn't it sad that true Fedoras and quality hats are lumped in with the crappy stingy brim $5 Canal Street specials the Hipsters wear. I think we need to put together a FL member road trip to Montauk to show them that real men of character wear Fedoras.

    How one old hat maker survives

    Interesting article...leave it to the Times to whitewash the fact that the Satmars are the Jewish equivalent to the Taliban. They don't recognize the state of Israel and actively and materially support Hamas, the PLO and other terrorist organizations bent on Israels destruction because of their...

    A general consensus on the quality of Resistol's cowboy models

    Don't know much about western felts...I became an expert on Resistol/stetson straws this summer while trying to choose a hat for line dancing. According to several people I spoke to at both the Stetson division and Resistol, the hats are absolutely the same quality when comparing equal models...

    Panama Hat Thread

    2% hydrogen peroxide bath for 24 hours. I'm an expert on this, see my thread from a year and a half ago when I spilled founten pen ink on my Montecristi. I tried everything from Oxiclean to Goof Off and half a dozen other cleaners and none did a thing. The HP not only took 90% of the ink stain...
