    Army may bring back "Pinks and Greens"

    That really is a shame. I abandoned social media pretty much entirely a couple years ago, so I'd hoped my lack of seeing it in the news meant it was going away. I recognize there are people that try to get over on folks by saying they were military when they weren't, but I don't think any...

    Army may bring back "Pinks and Greens"

    I'm hoping the trend of harassing people about supposed stolen valor has died down. There for a while people were getting out of hand with it, going so far as to physically assault people they assumed were guilty of stolen valor, regardless of if they actually were or not.

    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    Interesting. My best friend was telling me about a hat maker from when he was in Oregon at a wedding a couple months ago. I wonder if this is who he was talking about Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    Dobbs Dayton 5th Ave fedora 60mm ,7 1/2

    My eyes don't differentiate colors too good these days. This is a brown? It looks a bit on the olive green side to me but I think it's just me. Also, you didn't list a price.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Legion Episode 2 of the final season was last night. The show was like a bad acid trip at first. Very disjointed and confusing, with only my knowledge of the character bringing me back each episode, but I eventually found that there were some really interesting concepts being thrown around...

    I'm a big believer in individuality. Everything from the hat you wear to the gun you own speaks directly to who you are as a person. I've not met 2 people that are exactly alike, and thus their things shouldn't be exactly the same. That's why it boggles my mind when people get heated over rules...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I recently had a guy stop me as I was riding past him in the warehouse to tell me how much he liked the Panama I was wearing. A few days later, I was attending a briefing about the new alarm system they installed in the building, and as soon as I hopped out of the cart, one of the electricians...

    This reminds me of an episode of Vegas Rat Rods on Discovery channel where they took their recently modified Model A to a vintage Model A restoration club and how absolutely horrified the members were at what they had done. When it comes down to it, you like what you like, and there will always...

    That would be more akin to modifying a fedora to have the particular brim and crease style that you prefer. He isn't taking a Model T and turning it into a Honda Civic I think a comparison that works better to show what I meant is trying to convert a modern F250 into a modern Mustang. I'm sure...

    I think people get confused by the dichotomy between members who swear by preservation, and the seemingly equal number of members that are emphatic with their need to modify hats to their particular tastes. For my purposes, and money, it doesn't make sense for me to buy a vintage hat that needs...

    Unobtanium is used to describe something that is so rare or so perfect that it is almost impossible to obtain. The idea is often used in science fiction, though it is rarely actually called that (Avatar being a notable exception, which just phoned it in when it came to the details of the plot...

    When did the tacky practice of wearing brown shoes with blue suits become accepted?

    Anything mentioned on this forum. Also, the opposite of anything on this forum. In all seriousness, it doesn't really matter. Someone, somewhere, will think what you are wearing is wrong. I've long since stopped caring what people think that aren't close to me. And even the people close to me...

    You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover…

    That's the only reason I keep coming back to this thread. This is entertaining as hell.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    That's how I felt about the Transformers movies. Like, there isn't a whole lot going on with the robots in a movie that's supposed to be about robots.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I've got another coming from Panama Hat Mall. It was supposed to be shipping from their US warehouse, but as soon as I ordered it, I got a notification telling me it was out of stock there and they will be air shipping it from Ecuador. They are sending me some extra hat bands as compensation...

    It means he already has one that is the same color and doesn't need this one.

    Do women hate men's hats?

    This has been my experience as well. Every time someone went out of there way to speak to me about my hat, it was an African American. And of various age groups. I think a nice hat is still more likely to be seen in ethnic communities than in the white neighborhoods, based on my experiences, and...

    When did the tacky practice of wearing brown shoes with blue suits become accepted?

    It may be a male thing, but there does seem to be a trend in most hobbies where people take on an air of elitism and try to determine what is and isn't the right way. In the long run I think all it really does is suck the fun out of it. I do this cause I like it, if it gets to the point I'm...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I am having such a hard time not buying a few different hats in this sale. When it comes down to it, they are redundant in my collection and I don't really need them, but those prices...

    That would be an amazing hat to have. It automatically color matches your outfit.
