    The Kings Speech - a Critique

    The King's actual speeches were edited by a technical expert on recordings so that he appeared not to stutter, thus proving that this treatment did not work. That means the central idea of this film is not true and is why a good well-researched book beats most films anyday.

    Akubra Overload

    I agree. That is a great look and a great hat.

    Your opinion of Hugo Boss jackets?

    Given that he designed the rather snazzy Nazi uniforms, I imagine he can design a decent jacket. I mention this because so few people realise that he did this, and got away with it in that no-one attacks his business for this as they would have had a go at anything Leni Riefenstahl set up, for...

    The Truth About Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer..

    Myth doesn't mean untrue but true at a higher level. Thus a mythical king may not have existed in the so-called real world but represents the idea of kingship and what that entails (or should entail). Once Rudolf attained mythical status, he became just as important as any other figure at Yule...

    I still have my UNCLE identity card I sent off for when I was a nipper.

    Fedora hats are rarely sexy - or so does she think...

    Avoid women with this opinion would be my advice. My wife loves me in a fedora and was the one who encouraged me to try them out in the first place.

    This generation of kids...

    One of the only professionals I see who uses my surname is my dentist. I respect him more than the others. He is working past the usual retirement age and is far better trained than the usual type one finds nowadays.

    It's real name, Samhain, is so much nicer I think.

    Hat band replacement step by step

    I recently put a 2" ribbon on a hat. Patience and carefully following the instructions on the other thread previously linked to, will lead to success. The problem is getting good ribbon. Mine had to come from the US because I couldn't find it here in the UK.

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    My wife and I went to the West End play featuring Jeremy Brett and whoever was Watson at the time. It was so long ago I've forgotten. The play was excellent in every way.

    Vinyl Records are back!

    The sound is better. There are many pressings plants in the former Eastern Bloc and that's where my vinyl releases are made.

    Bound vs. Raw Edge Brim?

    I like bound edges so much that he only hat I have without one I just hand sewed an edge onto; and while I was at it, I gave it a 2" band with a ribbon too.

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    I thought it was good and enough people did watch it for a new series to be likely.

    The Master's Hat

    My Lodge meets around the Equinoxes and Solstices. However, it is common for London Lodges to meet between say September and April and have a break for summer (never heard it called 'dark' before). Provincial Lodges meet about nine times a year but in London four times is usual. We do have...

    Jokes About Hats

    Allow me to start with an offering of mine own (with apologies perhaps): Knock, knock. Who's there? Derby Derby who? Derby bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover...

    The Master's Hat

    In United Grand Lodge of England the minimum dresscode is dark lounge suit and black tie and many go for dinner jacket. The Master no longer wears a hat alas. Visiting in the States I was shown the Lodgeroom and asked if I was impressed. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was supposed to be...
