Why did brims get stingy?
Another "practicle" corrolation question. Do blokes wear wide brims in foggy London? Do we see more wide brims on the mid west plaines than in overcast Seattle? -
Hat look worn?
Actaully, the first and third hats are my son's. He's the cowboy. He's the one pictured in my avitar. I'm just his proud pops. Modern technology has made my modern hat much lighter. I always thought it would have been fun to have been born 130 years ago but I don't think I would have survived... -

Why did brims get stingy?
Intersting topic. I've always thought it was a city vs country thing, a matter or practicality. Ive recently been watching Ken Burns series on the Rosevelts. Some great hat stills and news reel clips with hundreds of vintage lids. I guess we should ask why man started putting things on his heads... -

Anyone ever use a plastic hat shaper from hatshapers.com?
Yes I have three straight wall dome tops in 7-3/8, 7-1/2 & 7-5/8. They work well. If I work hard with water and iron I can get a 6" crown out of some of my refurbs. I find the results are best when I remove the sweat first. I was able to add a crease to one the hatshapers using a heat gun to... -

9mm or 45cal
"The purpose of a handgun is to fight your way to the long gun you should have had in the first place." Im not sure who said it, probably someone smarter than me, but it makes good sense. Due to current "sensitivities" we can't stoll around with our handy AR or scatter gun, so pick a pistol...- Willybob

A tragic, need help with some solutions.
hatsRme may have a good point. Unrelated but similar story. I stained an Oak mantle last week. When I applied the second coat I was called away and forgot to wipe off the excess.
