    How to trim a brim?

    I used scissor and a compass too, cut counter clockwise it's very easy to cut right down the line, I then used 200 and 32o sandpaper on the edge.

    Trimming a Brim, or I Think I Should'a Listened to Mike

    Actually cutting down a brim is very easy, all you need is a sharp pair scissors a drawing compass and some medium and fine sandpaper. I wouldn't cut 3/4 of an inch off at once, you can always cut off more but you can't put it back on. Set you compass to the desired amount, scribe a line all...

    When your told to put down the gun... DO IT!

    The fact that he was wearing a German uniform is irrelevant. He could have been dressed as Johnny Reb or a US Marine. The only relevant point is he pointed the muzzle of a weapon at a law enforcement officer and failed to obey the command to drop the weapon. The rules of gun safety are...

    When your told to put down the gun... DO IT!

    Nobody said it was a SS uniform and not everybody who served in the German army was a Nazi. Mixing guns and alcohol is always a bad combination. People who shoot live rounds into the air are idiots, what goes up must come down and they come down hard enough to kill people. I feel bad for the...

    Steam Wins!

    I steam with a kettle too. I insert one of my vintage stretcher in the hat and just snug it up, this not only protects the sweat but give me a nice handle. I work the brim from both sides. I also steam a hat when I stretch it, give a good dose of steam and tighten the stretcher, let it sit...

    Anyone like my new Ray Bans?

    I like Wayfarers so much that when the time came to get new glasses I bought 2 pair (black and tortoise shell) and had prescription lenses put in both of them. One I had dark lenses and the other clear bifocal. At $75 each they were cheaper and better looking then the rest of the frames Lens...

    Dr Martens

    I like my Doc Martens except for the sizing, no 1/2 sizes. For me the 10 tight and the 11 is too loose and I don't believe I should have to wear thick socks to make my shoes fit.
