    World's Most Popular Overcoat

    Yeah San Francisco in winter can be quite "Brrr" At least you have a chance when the fog is in but if it's a clear night, you better dress for the worst.

    Hat theft! Happen to You?

    I had a similar experience. When I was in grade school a class mate took my news boy cap off my head the proceeded to throw it up on top of the church. Yes I went to a catholic school. Subsequently I never wore hats much after that. I guess you could say the event was kind of...

    Hats in the rain

    What are the thoughts on "tin" cloth hats in the rain? The Filson tin cloth hats aren't cheap but do they do the job? I commute from Castro valley to San Francisco every day and I would love to carry one less thing with me.

    Judging by the sizes of vintage hats, a 24" head is a fairly new evolutionary trait.

    I end up using "vestibule" a lot in the bay. Most of the ATMs are now locked inside of the bank entrance as a form of protection. not sure if "vestibule" is the correct terminology but it seems to work.

    Christmas without Christ? Huh?

    Trying to stay within the constraints of this topic and not trying to step on any toes…. Most winter holidays have roots that go beyond Christianity. Most of them revolve around the winter solace and for good reason. WIKI: “A winter festival was traditionally the most popular festival of...

    Buying A Digital Camera? Here's Help.

    Shrinking a wool cap?

    Please don’t do this unless it is confirmed by another more knowledgeable member, but I recall reading you could get it wet around the brim and sweat band and place it on top of a lamp shade. But be warned you could set it on fire doing this. I think another member managed to a ruin a hat...

    "Hey spiridon, this one's for you!"

    To bad they didn't make the radio to the same standards of the hat. for what it's worth my cd changer died too.

    "Hey spiridon, this one's for you!"

    totally off topic, but does that radio have a built in 5 or 6 disk CD changer? I had one that looked like that years ago. I think it was made by sharp or Sanyo.... Any way i love the hat. I think the thin ribbon suits that hat well.

    Merged Hatter Thread

    I agree. I happen to work on and administer one of the largest message boards on the internet (not a social network) And our number one focus is the community and keeping them happy. The way I look at it Advertising and spam go hand in hand. If I was being solicited in a way I thought was...
