    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    I'm enjoying the shirt/fedora combos. So much I went on the bay and picked up a couple of used Tommy Bahamas and a couple of Cubaveras. I like the Tommie's a lot. Am now waiting for my Panama being made in Ecuador to match them. My question: what's the protocol on t - shirts. V neck ( to...

    Marathon Watches

    I had the SAR since it was smaller. I really liked that watch! One thing for sure; you could "pistol whip" someone with it because it was a heavy sturdy watch built like a tank. Bought the bracelet for it later and a couple of NATO nylon straps along with a custom leather strap made in...

    What was your first fedora?

    Shame to say my first fedora was last year at 70! Grandkiids helped me pick one out at Herbs Hat shop in San Antonio. Stetson Chocolate Brown (Tom Landry) Downs. My brother liked it so gave it to him. Then gambled on a EBay Borsalino Vintage from seller in Italy. Paid $169 for it and found...

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    Having worked in law enforcement for years, I and other officers find that untucked shirts is a perfect hiding method for concealed handguns. When getting a group of people to exit the car for a traffic or felony stop, we were particularly mind full of the ones with untucked shirts...

    White Shirt? Colored Shirt?

    I wore long sleeved white shirts (with a required tie) while teaching school, for years. Then I wore black shirts as part of a law enforcement uniform....for years. Now retired, I have a lot of dress white shirts in the closet. I find myself enjoying them MUCH more WITHOUT having to wear...

    Difference between the Stetson Stratoliner and The Open Road

    T Jones and Gt Dean, Great information and good points. I DO like the wider brim on the Campdraft but am intrigued by the Premier Strat. I didn't realize Delmonicos sold the Premier. Don't have a Caribou hat ! Hmmm?

    Difference between the Stetson Stratoliner and The Open Road

    Thanks Richard! It DOES help! I'm gonna get a lot of wear out of the Campdraft. And my Stratoliner itch is gone!! In fact I may get another Campdraft in a different color later.

    Difference between the Stetson Stratoliner and The Open Road

    I saw one at Delmonicos for $225. Another place for $192 and the third place for $174. I think they were all the same hat. But maybe they weren't the Premier.

    Difference between the Stetson Stratoliner and The Open Road

    Thanks Job!! Lots of reading there. What I gleaned is that they are pretty close so I won't be buying a Strat tho I DID see a price of $174 for a newer one. Not bad but only in Caribou which I don't have. Coincidentally, I just happen to have a new Campdraft in Bluegrass that I got a...

    Difference between the Stetson Stratoliner and The Open Road

    Differences in Stetson Open Road and Stratoliner I recently bought a modern Stetson Open Road with standard Cattleman factory crease and a Vintage beater Royal Deluxe Open in a Fedora bash. I like both. I'd like to know of the members who have both the Open Road and the Stratoliner what...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks Casechopper! I hesitated only a moment on the 2990s because I knew they would go fast. I really preferred the brown but I don't have but one pair of black boots: Dan post lizard. I saw pics of yours and thought , why not, at that price! A credit card is a dangerous thing!!

    Hand-written letters, e-mails & texts

    I taught AP English to high school seniors for years. I wanted them to be stylish and original so I gave them all fountain pens and had them practice writing. I had them write a short letter to someone they cared about. They all experienced an enlightening moment as they found that others...
