    What sort of fedora would suit me?

    Their Wiilamsburg store, near the bridge, seems to have the larger selection of hats, judging from my few telephone conversations with them, unless it's just wide-brimmed black fedoras that you're interested in.

    What sort of fedora would suit me?

    The hats that Harrison Ford wore as Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" were a size 58 cm with a "dimensional" brim that was 2.75" wide at the front and back and 2.625" wide at the sides with an "open" crown height of 5.5". This is known with certainty as at least two of these hats are...

    hats -retailer from The UK anyone know? Looks too good to be true...

    There were two other websites similar to this one within the last couple of months, one in Canada and another in the United Kingdom, which were offering an allegedly huge selection of Borsalinos and Christys all for under $30 apiece. Websites which track these sort of scams identified them as...

    Straw Cowboy Hat questions

    Sunbody hats aren't actually woven, per se. The plant leaves from which they are made are split and then woven into long strands which are then sewn together to make the hats. The Sunbody economy, regular, and fine hats are made by having progressively more woven strands sewn together...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Hat People or B-Wear?

    I think that this hat would look much better if you were wearing it while standing outside in the snow, scowling in the sunshine.

    Condemned by The Catholic Legion of Decency

    It has been suggested that a reason why the Catholic church ceased making its list of banned books public was so that people would not be seek these books out as they would not be aware of them.

    Condemned by The Catholic Legion of Decency

    It is more than curious to me that the greatest years of American cinema coincide so precisely with the rigorous enforcement of the Hays Code from 1934 through 1952. Certainly this was greatly enhanced by things such as the huge exodus of members of the European film industry to North America...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_condemned_by_the_Legion_of_Decency Does anyone have the complete list of films that were censured by the Catholic/National League of Decency? Not just the "C" list of "condemned' films above, but the "B" list of "morally objectionable in part" films...

    this is a deal !

    I'll do you the favor of not bidding up the prices of things that interest you on eBay, and it's also easier to just go and look where you gentlemen don't.

    this is a deal !
