Anyways I love...

    The Hat Game-fedoras,bowlers and the like!

    You are right, I was just comparing houston to todays standards. Since there are many major corprations and a lot of buisness it lends itself to towards being a better dressed city.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Possibly the dumbest comment I ever recieved was when I was talking about Vladimir Putin tying to own all the national media outlets in Russia. The girl says why is the leader of a country trying to purchase CNN apparel? NO Joke.

    Bogie borsalino

    First off my apoligies to Duane, I had measured the brim and I was wrong and he was correct the brim is right between 2 1/2 to 2 5/8. I am sorry I said it was 2 3/8 it was my mistake. This is a 1930' bogie borsalino with a 4 1/8 crown and a brim just over 2 1/2 inches. It is in magnificent...
