    Akubra Overload

    That's a great way to practice pronouncing your F's. The Stylemaster is really a great hat for those of us that can't pull off a high crown. I have one in acorn and depending on lighting, it sometimes looks greenish, sometimes sand, sometimes brown. I am impressed. I just would not order...

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    I'm not a fan of drinking games at parties either but...... chess at a party? I go to parties so I don't have to concentrate. After all, it is a party.

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    I couldn't have said it better. It's that "keep tap dancing ad nauseam" thought pattern that seeps into every aspect of society. DVDs in cars, listening to music and shutting out the rest of the world while walking, facebook, twitter, cell phones that entertain you in case you find yourself...

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    The Nissan Versa is a dime a dozen with manual trans. [huh] I find it unbelievable that you can get any new car sold in the U.S. without power windows or locks. They would have to go through quite an expensive search and charge you so much, (and that is if they would even bother to accept...

    Lexol: local sources?

    I buy it at Del's feed and seed in Wa. state and they are a division of Tractor Supply. I bought two half liter containers they had at one of their summer sales. $2.50 a piece. They occasionally have incredible sales there and don't announce them very much so it's a matter of hitting the store...

    How often do you wear a hat?

    I find myself wearing a hat all the time. I sometimes forget to take it off when I am home working indoors. Someone always points it out to me. In the summer it might be a light weight Kangol but I have to have something on my head. I have photos of me as a kid and I have a hat on in most of...

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    Do tell, what make of car can you order without power locks or power windows. I'd love to see photos of that. From what I understand, that is not an option whatsoever. They don't make the components anymore.

    Lexol: local sources?

    Most feed and seed stores carry it and that is where I purchase it. It's a popular item to use on saddles and other leather horse gear.

    How about correct grammar, wind wings on cars and yes, let's get rid of these computers and bring back the carbon paper.

    Creative Fedora Tango

    Nice music, good use of the fedora but the dancing is not what tango should look like. That looks very sloppy and not passionate at all. Maybe I'm spoiled since I'm Argentine and my parents were hard core tango dancers. And no..........I can't dance better than the video.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I'm going to have to try a center dent with a low crown. I am stuck on diamond crowns and really haven't tried by best to make it work. I wear it anyway because it's just such a fine fitting hat that keeps getting nicer with age but if I look in the mirror too long, I start to complain about...

    Akubra Overload

    I just received my Stylemaster and it is definitely perfect for my face shape. As I have said before, The Good and I have the same face shape and I'm pretty sure he will like the dimensions. I also have a Stetson Roadster on the way and it should be just as good. Not too tall a crown with a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Neo, you have a longish face. Tall crowns look best on you. I love the tall crowned hats but when I put them on my head, I look like I'm 4 years old and wearing my daddies hat! Way too tall for my face shape. You are lucky.

    It seems that putting a curl on the brim makes a hat look less like an umbrella and gives it a little character. (I seems to make the wearer smile more too!)

    Do you look like a past relative and get negative comments for it from family?

    I am the spittin' image of my father. Voice, mannerisms, height, weight, sense of humor. One thing I lack is the love of sports. He was a sportscaster and I can't stand sports whatsoever. I also have a niece that is 24 and she looks exactly like a feminine version of me (poor girl!). Joking...

    Stetson Globester VS Packard

    I would be wary about leaving a hat in a hot car. After hearing sad stories about the deterioration of the hat and sweat bands or the sweat band shrinking way too much, I wouldn't recommend it. If leaving the hat in a hot car has worked for you, I think you have been lucky. Why not pop it in...

    Stetson Globester VS Packard

    When I am traveling and I need to down size a hat, I usually use tissue paper. It is absorbent and a little more precise that paper towels since it is thinner. Felt is good too but while traveling, I don't like to go felt shopping. That is what David Morgan provides with his hats. If you buy...

    Whaddya think of 'Corcoran'-style jump boots?

    It's good to know that they make them new. I feel kind of creepy wearing someone else's sweat laden boots.

    Whaddya think of 'Corcoran'-style jump boots?

    I had a pair in the Army that I loved. I would spit shine the toes and take care of them like a nut. They had an untimely death about 10 years after I got home from overseas. They were great and seeing them here makes me want to search for another pair.
