    Huge Borsalino on eBay, advice needed.

    Seller replied that she measured it out at 22 1/4". That does not sound much like an 8 to me. Thanks for the advice gentlemen, maybe someone else can grab it that actually wears that size. Frank

    Huge Borsalino on eBay, advice needed.

    Hey Borsalino experts, there's a "vintage" Alessandria in a size 8 on eBay right now. I've owned one or two, but I'm not great at telling how old one is by the liner or sweat. The BIN is $250, but I don't know if it's worth the dough. I do know the seller is not accepting any offers under...

    De-waxing a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser

    I accidentally de-waxed a similar garment, a tin cloth vest, in the Southern California heat. It was drizzling in the morning, and I had to take a bunch of tourists out for a long ride in our local canyons, so I put the waxed vest on. The sun came out, and by the end of the ride, I had...

    A Modest Proposal

    I like a clever screen name as well as the next guy, but I've found on other forums that the biggest "trolls" are usually the ones who never give out their real names. Internet bullies rarely use their own names, that takes the safety out of talking trash. Not saying that ever happens here...

    Dad's many hats

    Welcome. Your dad has always been a favorite of mine. I remember my father pointing him out as one of his favorites in movies when I was just a little kid. I pretty much TiVo anything he's in. Even if the rest of the film is just okay, he is always fun to watch. Great to have you here. Frank

    Careful with the mink oil boys, don't get it anywhere near any stitching, as it will eventually rot them, and can also soak through easily and stain the felt. Frank

    U.S. Wings VIP Adventurer 3X-Long

    Thanks Bob, but the jacket's been sold since August. I've got the LL Bean leather listed here that would probably fit you, but that's it. Frank

    Scooter, you should be able to withdraw the money under the "Withdraw" tab at the top. You select "transfer funds," choose the amount, and the account you want it to go to ( I have more than one listed, most folks just have one), and it usually takes a few business days. Frank

    L.L. Bean Leather Jacket size 2XL

    Thanks for the advice Tom. I've gotten a few responses, but they were very low. I'm looking for something in the neighborhood of $175, shipping included, with a nice, nearly-new Old Navy military-style wool blend jacket thrown in free. The L.L. Bean is a very comfortable, broken-in (but...

    Musician's hats

    I'm with SBG on Leon Redbone. Saw him play a Christmas show about 20 years ago, and it remains one of the best shows I ever went to, and I've been to some good ones, having gone to college in Austin in the early 80s. If that's a persona he's putting on, he's pretty immersed in it, and always...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I've always ordered a little larger on my Campdrafts and Fed IVs, and been happy with the way they shrunk. I'm not sure it's a whole size, as I'm a bit between 62 and 63, but the standard (Imperial) felt does seem to shrink up a bit on me, or maybe it's the sweatband, not the felt. In any...

    Akubra Overload

    Sure ya can! It's an AKUBRA. Doesn't matter if its "modern" or not, ya can post it! Why I once had an Akubra so tough that Chuck Norris broke his hand trying to crease it! Of course, that one was from DM, not from OZ! I've got a shed in my backyard built out of Akubras. They can take...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Justin, those Kitten Finish Resistols are hard to beat. I've got a 20 and a 25, and they're two of my favorites, even among customs and much more expensive vintage hats. Great finish. Good score at that price, too. Frank

    L.L. Bean Leather Jacket size 2XL

    I'll make a deal on this one, especially if someone wants to "bundle" this one with the Pendleton wool coat or Old Navy military-style coat I've got listed here in the Classifieds. This jacket is from the era when LL Bean still made quality items. It's over ten years old, but still looks like...

    Bigfeet - Brand New Size 14 EE Justin Hybred Lacer Workboot

    How about $50, shipped? These are brand new, and they're not making them any more. Excellent quality boots, for "workwear" or "western" style. Thanks, Frank

    Big Men's Outerwear: Pendleton, Duster, Wool Vest, Military-Style Jacket

    Come on big boys, this Pendleton is really nice, and needs a new home. Make an offer, or double up with the LL Bean leather jacket (or Old Navy military-style) I've got listed, and we'll make a "bundle" price.

    aero teamster...

    Sorry Scott, just seemed like implying someone is not a "grownup" was a little out of line, even with the cute little "May I ask a favor" in front of it. I'll let you have the last word on this, as that seems to be your preference when posting in the Outerwear thread. Thanks, Frank
