Hi
I recently won this hat on eBay, and it wasn't advertised as a long oval, so it doesn't really fit my non-long oval head. It is a grey fur felt stingy brim fedora with a black leather sweat w/white bow, and red satin lining.
The sweat is marked Worth Standard Quality Major on the...
Hi,
I was wondering if it 'acceptable' to wear a white Panama hat with a dark suit (such as you would wear to a funeral). We had a death in the family, my dark hats are felt, and the weather on Friday is supposed to be warm enough that I'll be uncomfortable with the heavy weight hat.
Of...
agree with IndyCop
Ms. Estefan could make a "jughead jones" hat look good. Of course, all of the lovely lounge ladies also make their headgear look exceptional.
first name = screen name
My screen name is 'French' as is my given name. It is a family name that has been passed on to the first-male child for 4 generations now. Hopefully my son and his wife when they marry (in the very distant future -- he's only 3.5 years old) will continue the...
My Stetson Temple experience
Has been good so far. I purchased a modern Temple last fall from my local hatter (for a reduced price). The hat has been rain and snow soaked and worn for outdoor activities (apple and pumpkin picking, hiking with the kids, light yard work) and I have not had a...
very nice!
I recognize some, but not all. Would you give us a list of what they are?
It is always nice to see that there is some crossover among the pen-heads and the hat-heads, as well as the watch heads too...

since I got married I don't get drunk
because I'm a happy, amorous drunk. Knowing that, I realize it is OK to get tipsy, but there is no reason to go farther than that, and potentially do something that would bring emotional pain to my wife and cause her to no longer trust me. Of course...
then I'm sure you already know about FPN & Richard Binder
Glad to see the fountain pen bug has already bitten you. I'm sure you have seen the Fountain Pen Network (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com).
If you, or anyone else on FL has questions about fountain pens, I'm always happy...
Noodler's inks
Hi,
I mainly use Noodler's inks in my pens. If you are looking for a fraud resistant ink, any of the Noodler's Bulletproof or eternal inks will do quite well. Others have mentioned Legal Lapis and Luxury Blue, I have both. You may also want to consider Noodler's Brown...
you've just stepped onto a slippery slope, Mr. Jones
Mr. Jones,
Welcome to the wonderful world of fountain pens. I'm sure you are already aware of Bromfield Pen Shop in Boston, but, just in case, here is their webpage: http://www.bromfieldpenshop.com/home/
Enjoy the pen, but be...
feel better
Daisy, get well soon. I know it can be hard to keep the mind positive when the body is not feeling so great, but, as you know a positive outlook is so important in the healing process.
When you're out of the hospital and feeling better, let me know and I'll take you and Mr...
my two older kids have DPs, they work
Hi. Like JT, I try to never insult anyone's hats (or wives). I purchased my 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son children's DP "Indiana Jones" wool felts because they each wanted a "hat like Daddy wears". My kids abuse those two hats, wearing...
you can fill empty cartridges with a syringe
Hi,
You probably already know this, but you can use a syringe to fill empty cartridges with any ink you choose. Many people at http://www.fountainpennetwork.com have indicated they have just asked their veterinarians for a syringe and small...

thanks
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. I've been to DelMonico's twice now (they are only about a 20 minute drive from me). Aarons is on my list of places to visit, but the 4-5 hour drive each way necissitates it being a weekend trip.
I appreciate all the information everyone...
hat shops in Boston/Cambridge?
Hi,
My job brings me to the Boston/Cambridge area regularly. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place to pick up a new lid. Also, I'd love to meet other loungers for coffee, dinner, lunch whatever.
Thanks,
French
