    Tarnish prevention

    That's some good info Bill! Wandering slightly off topic for a minute; The link you posted says that the abrasive polishing cloths remove silver from the object (well, obviously). Would you say it's best to avoid using the Blitz cloth around my flute's lip-plate and embouchure hole? I can...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Never said I was a fan of the prices. ;) One thing that is annoying me about the site: the scrolling of the page now takes forever. It's so much slower than how my browser usually behaves.

    Worth & Worth hat shop...

    It looked much more sedate as I remember it. I'd have to say the green wallpaper is not my favorite, by any means. And the hats have multiplied... In these new pictures, they're all over the place. When I was in the showroom, I was reminded of a fine shoe department; shelves empty save for...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    The new site is great! Impressive, clean, organized, and interactive. Straight lines highlight contrast, the pictures in the background create interest. The videos are great. I want to go to Chicago just to visit Mecca. Cheers,

    Worth & Worth hat shop...

    The store is on the 6th floor, by the way. It's higher up than I think I've ever been, here around the border between Michigan's farm lands and the city of Detroit.

    Worth & Worth hat shop...

    Looks like they've renovated since I was there last year. (Hard for me to believe it's been almost an entire year now!) I remember the shop like the back of my hand... Montecristi case to the right as you enter, a little past that is the fold-out triple mirror; and further is the entrance to...

    Penman Hats hat hook

    Agreed. Don't make things any harder than they really are... There's not enough time in life to appreciate hats, and deal with a bunch of drama, all at once. So... How 'bout them hat hooks?

    Penman Hats hat hook

    Consider me mistaken! I closed the window when you started to fold it up and again, and apparently did not see I had a little ways left in the video. My apologies!

    Penman Hats hat hook

    I'd buy it, but I see a major flaw in the reasoning behind it... What if you're sitting on the solid-backed chair, or one with vertical slats where there's no half-panel to stretch the elastic band around?

    Post New Hats Here!

    Anyone ever thought about recreating one of those dry cleaners carousels with hat hooks?

    Tarnish prevention

    I've had good luck with 3M Anti-Tarnish strips (something like this was mentioned earlier on in the thread, I believe). I throw one in my flute case, as the instrument is silver. I've also used Blitz brand instrument polishing cloths to keep my (modern!) silver and gold looking shiny. I'd...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Has anyone heard from Alanfgag lately? I sent him a couple PM's a few days ago and he hasn't replied. He hasn't posted in almost a week now. He's normally not gone for this long. [huh]

    A Panama Hat worthy of FDR

    Thanks for bumping this... All of this happened before I joined. Gene, words cannot describe that! Looks great on you, by the way. I have to see that hat in person someday. Cheers,
