    Taking Amtrak

    It really is a wonderful way to travel. It always makes me think of what it would have been like to travel by train in the steam era. Probably not a whole lot different than it is today.

    Taking Amtrak

    I completely agree. The included meals are quite palatable, too.

    Team USA's Olympic Parade Suit

    Weirdly, I saw the opposite. It looked like all the men were wearing their ties. Some weren't pulled tight, but all appeared to be wearing them.

    Anyone ever hear of 'Stetson Ermine Series B'?

    Years ago, there was a Stetson Ermine with the seal and tails and documentation on ebay. The hat was a beautiful light silverbelly, and was in size 6 7/8. The starting bid was something like $3,000. It had documentation and pictures with it showing how it was given to a pre-Castro Cuban...

    REQ: Photos of non-brown, non-Indy Adventurebilts (+ Reg vs Dlx)

    Felter in Portugal, I believe. I think Graham at Optimo gets his bodies from them too.

    I'd contact Magnoli and ask him.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I was standing up for my rights, and teaching them never to shove anybody around again! I bet their fist hurts like hell.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I think my next draft will require more adverbs, more bold text, and more uses of the words "instantly", and "suddenly"

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    NEWS FLASH Saturday, 0500 hours. I was tootling around on a "Scouting Mission". Scouting for "deals", that is. I had awakened early, hoping to "score big" on some killer deals at my local estate/yard sales. This is can be a cut throat business, so I was armed to to teeth. An "estater" like me...

    Moving To South Carolina

    I have a Master's from USC, and am very familiar with the town. There's plenty to do in Columbia, and it's 2 hours from the beach and the mountains. Depends on what you like to do, really. Which program are you in?

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    Wide binding or not, I will buy a Stetson Nostalgia today if I can get it with a brown sweat and white lining. Somebody tell me where to place my order.

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    Echoing what others have stated, traditionally bindings were similar in color to the felt of the hat. I would prefer a wider, body colored binding with a wide ribbon. If it were a narrow ribbon hat like a Stratoliner or Open Road, I would want the narrow binding to match.

    Maclachlan Hats

    Andykev has a Maclachlan Silver Beaver Fifty that many say is the finest felt they have ever seen. I have not seen it personally, but those who have know their felt.

    What Do You Sound Like?

    There is no way I sound like a Philadelphian.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    I'm thinking about having it turned into another style hat.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I go to estate/yard sales all the time around here, but have not run into any problem people. However, I do have one nasty aunt that is similar to what you describe. She was once arrested for trespassing when she purposely dug through somebody's yard sale stuff at 5am before the sale even...

    And that's just the Optimos ;) Thank you. I am fortunate to have them.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Excellent finds, Lefty. Rundquist's Skyline Blue hat is one of my alltime favorites. I still have a swatch of it that I drool over occasionally. Wish I had bought one in that color.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Marlene does great work :)

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Thanks, Lefty. All of these actually have threads associated with them (and lots more pictures) in the Lounge archives. In fact, there are many, many more Optimos that have threads devoted to them from around 2003-2004. Rundquist in particular has more Optimos than anybody I know, and has posted...
