Formal Wear Primer
I was in a wedding several years ago in which the men in the wedding party wore black tie. We all owned tuxedos, but the bride's mother insisted that we rent matching tuxedos. I thought that was silly. Not only was that an unnecessary expense I had to pay, but my tuxedo was a lot nicer than the... -
Hey, what about the feather?
I don't have any feathers. But there are some hats with a small feather that look really good. So lately, I have been paying a lot of attention to feathers to try to get a feel for when they work and when they don't. -
Anyone ever put a wider ribbon on a Camp Draft?
I really like the CD with a wide ribbon. Although the shape has always interested me, the ribbon seemed too narrow. But with the traditional wider ribbon - wow! -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I love that bow tie. Finding good bowties can be tough. If you are interested, try bowties.com. They have a great selection, and what is better still, they offer most ties in four different shapes. DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to do with this company. I just like to wear their products. -
Berets, Anyone?
In the 1970's, the Boy Scouts adopted a red beret. I was a Scout then and dutifully went to the Scout store and got my beret. But no one in my troop knew how to wear one.

Bit of an Akubra Crisis
I want to thank everyone for the help. It looks to me like I have a hat that fits. It stays on when I bend over, but does not leave a red mark on my forehead. I really like the quality of this hat a lot. It is certainly beyond anything I have ever had before. -
Bit of an Akubra Crisis
The mailman brought my new Banjo Paterson today. It looks great. But this is my first Akubra and I am not sure that it fits right. If it doesn't, I want to send it back. If its okay, its going bird hunting this weekend. The hatband holds it snuggly so that the top of the hat is just above the... -
I love the Fed IV!!
Thanks for the help with the tugboat question. As yet, I have never owned an open crown hat, so this whole bashing thing is new to me. But it sounds very interesting. I think I need my own Fed IV to tinker with. -

Favorite RAF Movies
This is an easy question for me to answer. The Battle of Britain. Where else will you find such a collection of Spits, Hurricanes, and Messerschmidts? It would not be possible to remake that movie today.- Edw8ri

I love the Fed IV!!
This is a truly magnificent collection. I like the ES pins on them. But I must ask a newbie question. What is it about the way these hats are bashed that make them tugboats? How does this differ from an Indy bash. Pretty dumb questions, I know but if I don't ask, I'll never know. -
