Fixing up Grampa's Straw Fedora
Success!! Well, I followed the advice in several of the threads about restoring straw hats and I worked on my Gramp's hat today and it turned out wonderful. The brim isn't quite wide enough for my build and face so I won't be wearing it much but that's not the point. I can display it now and... -
The Conversion Corral
Davidson, Dan, no problem getting the screen captures. I'll take any excuse, anytime, to visit that film again. One of my top ten favorites. Dan, I can get you some more screen shots from different angles if you'd like more references for when you have yours made. On the other hand, if you... -

Johnny Ringo's Hat Here are some screen captures from a great movie. Is this the hat you're talking about Dan? Great hat. Look at that great asymetrical crown and the sweep of that brim! -
Classic Style issue #2
I'll have to keep an eye out for it in the stores. I think they're carried by Barnes and Noble, right? That first issue was splendid. A very slick magazine with quality paper, graphics, writing, etc. And I like the large format. Reminds me of the older magazines from the 40's. I'm so...- Earp

What a sweeet car. I love boat tail roadsters. What were the repros going for in the 1980's?- Earp

Knox won today...
Hey ... Nice purchase, nice price. That's going to be a great hat! As for that moth mark, it probably won't be that noticable when the hat's worn but do you remember a thread here at the lounge that told how to fill those? I read it somewhere here. I'm going to have to keep a log of posts... -
Fixing up Grampa's Straw Fedora
I'd like to but that might take a while ... my digital camera is broken and it's a very old one anyway. I'm thinking about replacing it. But really here's the deal. It looks like someone sat on the hat and the crown is smashed down and the brim needs reshaping. There's no damage to the straw... -
Fixing up Grampa's Straw Fedora
Anyone here know anything about fixing up a straw fedora? I have one that belonged to my grandfather. It probably wasn't anything expensive but the crown got smashed down somewhere along the way and I'd like to see if I could get it back into shape. Is it harder to fix these old straws than... -

Johnny's fedora in Newsweek
Excellent Dan! A quote from the best movie ever made about my namesake and from the actor who was the greatest Doc Holliday ever. And here I thought the Doc Holliday from here at the Lounge would be the first to engage me in "Tombstone" banter. Thanks for the grin. You, sir, are a pip... -

Johnny's fedora in Newsweek
Go Mr. Depp, Go!! I hope he does for hat wearing what the Indy movies did and gives things one more little nudge. I for one would like to see hat wearing come back enough to where average folks would be more used to the sight of it again. I do seem to see more fedoras when I'm out and about... -
How many 78s do you have? (w/ image gallery)
Dupes? Hardly any, John. It was a beautiful sunny day when I brought all of those home. After transferring my new aquisitions to shelves in the garage, I spent the rest of the weekend going through them, playing them on my old wind-up Brunswick console and picking out my favorites. I spent... -
How many 78s do you have? (w/ image gallery)
I have about 1000. I got them from a guy that bought out an old juke box company in Grand Rapids, Michigan about 30 years ago. They were getting rid of their 78 record inventory. Originally there were over 2500 records in the lot. He got tired of having them laying around and taking up so... -
Where did your user name come from??
Parallel Guy, that is just a great idea. I've always wanted to do that for listening to old radio shows. How do you find what years match? It's the perfect idea for lovers of history to keep learning things. Do you also have a place where you go to find out the news for a particular day, or...- Earp
