    Help-Crushed Hat

    Wow, that's some MAJOR improvement! Don't you get the impression that they were packed by someone who thinks all headgear is cloth like baseball caps?

    Post New Hats Here!

    I found out a couple of days ago that these hats are (I think) seconds, or "blems" or what have you, although all the ones I've looked at look top-notch. Like on a quail, I guess... Good info in this thread. If I understand correctly, "self-conforming" describes a leather sweat band that...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    The big wide-brimmed Western hats are just a bit too large for that -- I'd end up sitting on the floor instead of in the booth! Interesting thought. I've noticed that almost NO place has a hat rack any more -- I wonder what happened to them all.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Pretty nice, Bob. Speaking of the phone number -- when I was a youngster, our telephone number was EXpress 4-7040. My friends phone number was EXpress 4-4281. Those are the only two I can remember -- well, other than PEnnsylvania 6-5000...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Had an interesting, almost embarrassing experience last night. Went out to eat at a Chinese buffet, and wore my new Resistol 20X. Removed my hat while walking through the door, carried it to the table, and set it down on a chair next to where I was sitting. No hat rack, you know. While...

    Show us your radios!

    Wow, those are great radios, and that one looks to be in great shape, too! Always wanted a Transoceanic, maybe one day I'll have room enough to put one here in the house...

    I was going to respond with a joke, but I was just in Wilsonville (Portland area) on Wednesday, then down to Silver Lake, and south to California! Maybe it was!

    Post New Hats Here!

    I drive a truck cross-country, so I'm out of the house a LOT, and just got back from 3500+ miles in 7 days. That being said, this thread has shown some EXCELLENT hats in the past week! VERY nice!

    Yeah, it's really too bad that Resistol no longer offers fedoras, I'd buy one in a minute! Stetson does, but even though they're "sister companies", the Stetsons just don't fit the same. Nice hat, blood&mood...

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    Yes, Old Spice has changed a bit over the years, most noticeably since no longer made by Shulton. +1 for Tabac -- the soap, the cream, the stick, and the aftershave!

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    I spent 20 years in the military, and it all boiled down to hats off while indoors (unless under arms) and hats on while outdoors. I'm not sure I can do anything else! :D

    Post New Hats Here!

    I can tell you this -- mine has a price sticker inside that says $449. It was initially a little tight, but the more I wear it, the better it feels.
