Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements
Pretty backdrop to the hat, I need to get out more. Looked like where I used to live in Bama. Later -
No Name Hat Manufacturing Co.
Ok, the No Name Hat Company is the Hat Company's name, but there name is the No Name Hat company so the hat company has no name. Reminds me of Mr. Spock, "Everything I say is a lie", but if everything you say is a lie, the the truth is that everything you say is the truth, but everything you... -
Guide for first fedora/hat
Oh My GAWD! Charlie Chaplin wore a bowler as did Stan Laurel, Lou Costello, and the bad guys in a Clockwork Orange. Just be SURE you're good with that look!!! On a side note AKUBRA doesn't make Bowlers. Per above, don't blow the bank on a $500, 100% beaver hat, chances are about 30% you... -
Western, anyone?
Hi Seems that they may be going out of business: https://www.facebook.com/RandsCustomHatters/posts/a-note-from-ritch-randas-many-of-you-know-my-wife-neta-and-i-recently-embarked-o/1438232503026681/ That's a about 15-16 months old, but no updates THERE anyway. Hope I ain't right... -
“WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...
Soooo, we're wearing a hat so we can have extra buttons for our Pea Coat and we ain't in the Navy even. OK, I'm in. Snicker, snicker -

Hi In other words, a Beanie!!!! We had those in first grade in our school colors. Later -
My Blue Heaven
Interesting observation JLee. I've always (right or wrong in the Webster's sense) defined a Fedora in crown and brim as opposed to "soft" or "stiff". A bowler is a different shape, and is still, and has a curled edge. I never considered that the softness of the felt was a part of the... -
Loungers' Pets
Hi Yep, being over 6 feet tall, it can be difficult to work out the him or her part of dogs. It was especially bad because two of my neighbors have black and white Great Danes. One is officially a "therapy dog" for a Med Student, and the other is a rescue from a place that raised them for dog...- 1961MJS

CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY slouch hat.
HI The captain's hat looks a LOT like an Indian War Andrews hat. Did it appear that it had been folder flat? Andrews hats were hated, but I think because they fell apart when they got wet. Somehow I doubt that folding even a bunny fur hat is a good idea. The James Taylor I know is pretty... -

Hi Belfast, with respect to "What? Oprah didn't change your life? " It was Montel, Grandmothers who shouldn't wear thong bikini's. Like I said still scarred. This is when I was about 30 and Montel DID show their daughters, so it wasn't a total waste. Mike- 1961MJS

CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY slouch hat.
Hi Tim I've seen you mentioned on reenactor forums as a good hat guy. On a funnier note, I met a 20-25 year old kid named Christain Slater. This one's a realtor. I also work with James Taylor, he always calls ahead for reservations in California by name. Gets good service until they see... -
Stetson most expensive hat
NO IT"S NOT, they were all really little, got really close and shaped their two square inches a little at a time. Sorry, I had to. Later -
Your most historically interesting militaria
Hi, no pictures, most of the stuff is in a different house. I have my Dad's rush mat for his hut on Fiji in WW2, still not gone and it was on Grandma's front porch until 1980 (inside). I have the 17th Weather Squadron's copy of a Meteorology text book. I also have three of Dad's Garrison... -
Western, anyone?
Hi Being in Vancouver, you won't have this problem as bad as we Okies do, but if you sweat much with a blue leather hatband, you may have a blue hat crown too. I have a sun tanned leather band on my Tan Quigley hat so it won't stain. I can have any color on my Black Quigley hat though. Later -
Post New Hats Here!
Hi, I remember reading that Charlie HATED those shirts, but I thought he wore them pretty well. They looked sort of like Bowling shirts, and Charlie didn't bowl. He wore them like an Impolite hand gesture to the rest of California. Bowling Shirt, shorts, with white socks, rich and therefore... -

What degree of rake do you prefer?
HI Yep, John Wayne hat from Fort Apache, without the flipped up front. I bought it on Saturday and walked Shiloh the next day in the rain. Covington is a really great road trip. Go to Dixie Gun Works in the Northwest corner of Tennessee all day Friday, drive to Covington and eat at Wyatt... -
What degree of rake do you prefer?
Hi Sam Craig above, passed away before June 2012 (when I left Kansas). He lived in Great Bend and I went to a 4H event there with part of our group. We were both there, but didn't find each other. In a way, my Mike Moore / John Wayne Cavalry hat is in his honor. Its in this thread... -
Enlisted vs. officers at social dances
My Dad was on Guadalcanal as a Station Chief and Weather Forecaster in 1945. He played badminton with the Captain and 1LT, I don't remember who the 4th was, but that was ALL THERE WAS for high ranking weathermen. Later -
