Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
Hi, Ah. I see. My bad there. ;) I thought that if I clicked on one of the links on the sidebar, say for 7 1/8 hats, that I'd see just the size 7 1/8 hats out of the whole. I get nothing displayed - because there's nothing *to* display as that's supposed to be for when they sell. :p... -
Old "open road" style hats
Pit-Stop hat Hi, Well, by the time I found where the errant thing had blown to, it had been in the oil for at least an hour. The oil was hot, as I'd just changed it between practice and qualifying. Hot as in at least 400 deg F hot. Oil cools slowly, even in an open pan, so it would have been... -
Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
Hi, Well, I can see the images on the main page the link brings you to. I can't see any images on the sub-pages, though. Anyone else have this problem, or should I start eyeballing my particular machine for something odd? Stan -
Old "open road" style hats
Shocking Revelation Follows! Hi, I'm going to shock you all here. This is your fair warning! :D Well, I have to admit that I often handle my hats by the crown. I also often handle them by the brim. I'd say it's about 50/50. A fedora is more likely to be handled by it's crown (by me... -
What the heck does Jughead wear?
Hi, Well, as someone that works a lot as his own mechanic, I can tell you that a fedora, or any other brim hat for that matter, will constantly be knocked off as the brim hits everything in sight. Even a ball cap gets it's share of being knocked off by it's bill. Wearing a skull cap or... -

The Open Road Guild
I was wondering that as well..... Hi, The Open Road I know when I see it. Thin ribbon, edge binding, cattleman's crease. It's easily spotted in a sea of fedoras, and even not too hard to tell from other cowboy hats. Which is good, since folks seem to list them in both categories on eBay. ;)... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Brain Bucket Hi, Bell model MAG-4, open face, Kevlar shell, Nomex lining, the black one (I have both a black and a white), size 7 3/8. :D Sorry, couldn't resist. Today is the first day I commuted on the motorcycle. This is a hat, just a rather stiff one and somewhat larger than a fedora... -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Have one just like this.... May I join this group as well?? The only difference is that mine has the old French size '4 1/2' on the tag. It's also not in quite as nice a shape (some yellowing to the liner), but it'll do! :D Later! Stan -
And the winner for LEAST helpful response to a question on Ebay goes to....
How can anyone beat that? Hi, Well, I think we can end the voting right now. How in heck can *anyone* ever beat that single "No" answer to three questions?? Maybe if someone answers "No" to *four* questions!! Now, *that* is what I call less than helpful!! Later! Stan -
Biltmore House Hat
Sorry, sorry! Hi, Sorry about that, chief! Of course, y'all want to see the $4 special! Actually, it's the $19.25 special when I add in the shipping. I have *got* to get into the habit of adding in the shipping costs and not just think about the actual winning bid amount..... Here it... -

Do You Float Your Hats on your head?
Hi, Yes, I agree that actually trying to *use* the collar buttonhole straight in back of one's neck with a wind trolley *would* be awkward. These particular shirts didn't have a button associated with the hole, which is what prompted me to ask why they were there in the first place. ;)... -
Biltmore House Hat
Sad but true Hi, I *must* be ill here. I just won a sort-of Open Road style hat on eBay last evening for $4. Now I just can hardly wait for it to get here so I can see what in heck I managed to get for $4! lol I have something like 20 hats in the watch list, but won't bid until we're... -
Do You Float Your Hats on your head?
Mine sit down for the most part Hi, Most of my hats sit down such that the sweatband rests on the bony bump on the back of my head and the bony ridges over my eyebrows. Only the hats with too short of a crown sit higher, and that's because the crown is actually sittin' atop my noggin... -
Check This out....
I forgot! Hi, The thing is quite the cool image, regardless of how it was produced! :eusa_doh: Stan -
Check This out....
Screenprinted Hi, Those are most likely screenprinted using pigment inks. My wife has made special orders like that, having been in the screenprinting business for over 20 years. They're neat, and pretty cheap as you note. ;) One word of warning. The ink is thin, not thick like paint... -

Biltmore House Hat
So true! Hi, Yes, that is *so* true - what's it going to be? Too much like Christmas mornings when we were little kids. While I'm now into this whole custom hat thing, that's obviously reserved for 'good' hats. I thought I'd give up eBay hats with the arrival of my first custom hat, but... -
Biltmore House Hat
Who Knows? Hi, Biltmore, Bilt-o-more, Balt-i-more, Malt-O-Meal, whatever. We'll probably never get it figured out. At $12 bucks it's a pretty darned good deal even if the thing was orginally for the International House Of Pancakes! :D It appears to be a nice Stetson Open Road clone... -
Brims - How do you like them
Brim Up here also Hi, I store my 'ready' hats on hooks near the door. I say 'ready' as I tend to change them with the seasons. Usually there are three hats on the go at any one time: a 'good' one, an 'everyday' one and a 'farming' one. I snap the brims up on the 'good' and 'everyday'... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
A nice new Open Road clone Hi, My lovely wife came home last night with a box within a box. What was in the box within a box, you ask? A little something from Oregon. My new OR-style fedora. This isn't the HST, per se, as on Art's site. It's a sand color felt with matching ribbon... -
The Hat Check Vampires: 1943
Hi, I was in a place recently, with coat and hat, and the place has coat and hat hooks on *half* of their booths. Why only half, I don't know. Anyway, the hostess takes us to one of the hookless booths and I ask to be moved to one that has the posts and hooks. She did not understand why...
