    Akubra Campdraft need's fixin!

    Hey Y'all, I took the hat down to Hamline Cleaners and they said it wasn't a stain. As it turns out, something got on the hat that took the color right out of the trim on the outer edge of the brim. It can be fixed by trimming down the brim. I was thinking the brim was a little on the wide...

    Akubra Campdraft need's fixin!

    Thank y'all, I think I'll try the naptha and if that doesn't work I'll see if Hamline Cleaners can help. But if both fail, I guess I'm sending it out to Art Fawcett or Optimo. Thanks a bunch for the ideas!!!!!!

    Akubra Campdraft need's fixin!

    Hi All, I have a question. I own an Akubra Campdraft in Silberbelly. It is of the Heritage series. I use it as a dress hats and I really love it. A couple of days ago, I noticed something along the front of the brim. I think liquid or something must have dropped on the brim of my hat...

    A man of letters in the digital age

    I really love writing and receiving letters; so I guess I could be called a man of letters... My handwriting, grammar, are all atrocious. However, I have been trying to improve on each and I think the improvement on my handwriting is the hardest.

    Favorite comfort food . . .

    Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, and green peas. To me this is just the basic comfort food meal. Nothing fancy and everything just seems to be grounded in the earth. It's like a meal I can count on. It was served to people before me and it will be served to people after me.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Ok, I have a question about this elephant. I have had a few man-bags recently. Mostly they carry an extra diaper, extra rounds, small first aid kit, pens, paper, and the general stuff. However, I’m about to move up in the world and I will soon be wearing suits as daily work wear. What do y’all...

    Reactions from people...

    I haven’t posted in a while, but I really felt an urge here. I went to a Starbucks Coffee last year in a relatively hip part of town. I was wearing a Silver belly Camp Draft deluxe, a tan-ish overcoat (it was cold), with pants, shirt, and odd jacket. The person taking my order said “oh...

    Question about US Serivce Records

    Hi Hudsonhawk, I would love a picture of the grave marker, but I couldn't find it on findagrave.com. I actually called the cemetery and talked to a guy there. He said it is in their database and it is there. I'm also wondering how I could find out more about him or his unit, or when he was...

    Question about US Serivce Records

    Hi All, I know this isn't the Golden Era per-say, but this era does cover some of my interest as well. I would like some help/knowledge/opinion on some US Civil War history that I am researching of my family. I'm at a wall when searching for an old relative for genealogy purposes. He...

    What am I wearing today? Well, considering it's -22 with a wind chill of -51, I'm going to wear everything I own.

    Where were you 50 years ago when JFK was shot

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    I must admit, one of the great things about my suburb is that there really are no hipsters, ironic or any other type. I'm close enough to drive 10 min and smell the beautiful smell of farming, yet, I can drive down to a 24 hour pharmacy if need be. I would rather live in a small country...
