NYT piece: Hat-wearing minority gets no respect!
At least it's positive press for fedoras and other real hats. -

Who gives hats a bad name?
And a hat that doesn't fall down over his ears. Or is that what you do when no one can tell your hat is on sideways? (Since the brim goes all the way around.) -
Who gives hats a bad name?
Well, no one is ever going to associate me with Charlie Sheen anyway. Wilford Brimley, maybe. ;) -

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
No problems and no apology needed. As far as the felt grade is concerned I'll be better able to answer that once I've received my Stratoliner and can compare them side by side. -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
If I'm looking at the correct page they are no longer hyping it as a reintroduced Stratoliner either. Now it's "today's Stratoliner". -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
I did. Take a look at L.L. Bean's Moose River, which is what I was referring to. $119. In none of my posts on this have I mentioned any hats other than the Moose River or the Stratoliner. -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
So they basically took a $120 hat, stuck a $5 liner in it (that's what it cost me to have a Stetson liner installed in my Moose River), put about $2 worth of ribbon on the edge, stuck on a really cheap pin, called it a Stratoliner and jacked the price up another $60 and thought no one would... -

Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
I meant to add that from the pictures this new Stratoliner looks very much like my early 90's Moose River with the addition of a bound edge. Same bash. It originally came with the thin ribbon as well, although the most recent versions of the Moose River come with a leather band and is unlined... -
Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat
The crux of the matter is whether or not this reintroduced Statoliner looks like and has the same dimensions as the 1940's Stratoliner. The ads and literature clearly state that Stetson is bringing the hat back. Not that it is just putting out a hat called the Statoliner and it's "inspired" by... -
My wife thinks I am crazy
With my wife it's luggage. We have more luggage than we'll ever use. I don't bug her about that unless she's bugging me about (current obsession here). -
Restoration Hardware Aviator/Blackhawk series - grand or goofy?
I really like the looks of that Aviator Chair as well - but not enough to fork over $1695.- JimWagner

Restoration Hardware Aviator/Blackhawk series - grand or goofy?
Yep. Show was called Wing Nuts. Lasted one season and one of the main characters died. It was fascinating to watch how they made some of the items, but it was also typical Discovery Channel dysfunctional situations.- JimWagner

Restoration Hardware Aviator/Blackhawk series - grand or goofy?
Wasn't there a show on tv a year or two back where some company, I think in Arizona, was making all kinds of custom furniture out of old airplane parts?- JimWagner

Repurposing vintage items, where to draw the line
:offtopic: Since converting to digital years ago I haven't kept up with available films. My film cameras (Canon A1's) are actually in a box at my feet here under the computer desk and I do miss using them. After reading the Kodak spec sheet on the BW400CN and a few other forum's posts on the...- JimWagner

The most frightening motion pictures?
For me, Poltergeist had some scenes in it that really did make the hairs on my neck stand up. For example, the scene in the kitchen where the chair moved across the room towards the little girl. Not at all scary when describing it, but as done in the movie it was quite eerie. Same with the...- JimWagner
