    Art Fawcett New Hickory Wonder Color.!

    Mark, what a great story. I love the Tucker as well. That makes me want one of these even more. Is Art going to be making them available?

    What do you use to shave?

    I just noticed this thread. I shave with a couple of Dovo straight razors, a Vulfix badger brush, and hard soap. I hone the razor on a Black Arkansas and strop it on a Red Russian double sided strop. My beard is very dense and coarse. And my skin is baby bottom sensitive. I tried every other...

    Where do you wear yours?

    What an interesting thread. I lead a 'double life'. I am a pastor and also a contractor. Obviously one lends itself to wearing suits very well. The other, well not so well. My trousers look a little strange with the custom hammer loops on them. :) I do tire of the sloppiness tradesmen...

    Spelling counts

    I get never ending grief for my spelling on two counts: One, I was taught according to Oxford; even though I live in the U.S. Thus, I spell 'favorite' as favourite and 'gray' as grey, and so on. Second, one of my majors was English. When I goof I catch it! Especially from my father who...

    The Open Road Guild

    I'd love to be a charter member. I had some pictures taken today to post, but I don't have a hosting site. Any suggestions? I wear my OR, and now my 'new' OR, almost all day as a work hat, every work day. I even keep a rain cover handy for our Gulf Coast downpours. I love the feel, the...

    Long Oval?

    My favourite cowboy hat is a Stetson 7 5/8 Long Oval in Chocolate. I see long oval cowboy hats fairly often by them. If they do it in cowboy hats why not in dress hats? I turned my OR into a long oval myself :) .

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    Hey Rev, You have to watch out for those wire things. They work well for hard hats, but not that great for felt. I know the hard way. Just curious, are you a pastor?

    Sourdough Bread????

    I just bought some of that 'magic white powder and sponge'. It acutally removed good ol' Alabama red clay from a silver belly hat. I was amazed.

    Is humor the answer? The Hat Industry ponders...

    Just show men the ears of farmers who have worn caps in the field for their whole life. They usually look like a rat has been chewing on them. That'll make hats come back.

    My old / new Open Road

    Thanks. I revisited the tea kettle with a pint mason jar and got most of the crown opened up. I think that once I clean and brush that the old bash marks will be gone. I'll post some pics later on.

    My old / new Open Road

    Gents, I just received my deceased grandfathers Open Road. It is not his OLD one. ( It is languishing in a box in a cousin's house.) It was purchased a few years before he died. It was his work hat and as such it was very dirty and needed a cleaning. He wore it with a fedora crown. I...

    New tome Open Road

    What role does naptha play in the reshaping of a felt? I've always just steamed them.

    The BIG hat road-trip (Crazy Hat Idea Part II)

    Spiridon, Sounds good to me. Maybe we should make the hand off at the Alabama. It's a period piece, you know. ..

    Clothes Don't Make The Man.

    Wonderful thread and one that should be shouted loudly into the ears of every male today. I have two jobs. One, a general contractor, the other a pastor. Often when people discover that they will utter a comment along these lines, 'Wow, I'll bet you see two different sides of life.' At times...

    Archery

    One of my favourite sports. I've shot since I was young. My father and I spent hours crafting bows and arrows. I still make bows from Bois d'arc and footed arrows. One elderly gentleman in my home town was a good friend of both Fred Bear and Howard Hill. He could outshoot them both!
