    Looking for hat information?

    I second Moon's assertion. I purchased a modern Stetson Strat and found it to be very deficient. The felt was thin (lacking density), flimsy and poorly pounced. I have several older felts that are great, a few Akubra's which are excellent hare felt, and a custom Beaver hat coming from Blacksheep...

    Art featuring "leather" jackets

    Found this "bronze" A-2 during a visit to Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto Ca. Thought, "What knucklehead would leave that hanging in a public area unattended?" Fooled me. This artist knows good subject matter. One heavy stiff A-2. Veg tan or CX ?

    The Fall of the Moustache

    The Fall of the Moustache

    If you can grow a big thick bushy mustache, I SAY JUST DO IT! Don't make a decision about that choice based on the lame opinions of those around you. Who cares what others think. They make disparaging assessment without any logical thought but instead pressure you to do something their way...
