What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I've almost got my new Akubra Campdraft shaped the way I want it. A little steam, I think, and then I'll debut it. For now, I'm wearing the Mallory Eagle, which is one of my favorites, but I wear it all too infrequently.- OldStrummer

You know you are getting old when:
The very first car I owned was a 1961 Morris Mini. Morris and Austin made the same car, just with different nameplates. And they shared the powertrain with the Bugeye Sprite. I have frequently entertained the idea of purchasing a restored one just for the kicks of having it. Instead of a...- OldStrummer

Ask a question, get an answer
On a whim, I took a rough count of my hats last night. I now have thirteen or fourteen non-baseball, non-running, non-beanie hats. I have two more on order! Just how in the world do I store them? Not enough boxes, not enough room, and I certainly don't want to stash them where I'll never...- OldStrummer

Name the Actor...
Correct! Written by Joe Massot and The Firesign Theatre. It was because of those "four or five crazy guys" that I am aware of the movie (and have a copy on videotape). An early scene shows Joe Walsh playing a see-through plexiglas guitar. An awesome movie that only lost $1,435,000 (according...- OldStrummer

The one on the left is easy. Name the actor on the right. Name the movie. Name the Director. Name the Author(s). Bonus: Name some of the musical talent.- OldStrummer

Post New Hats Here!
Al, I wasn't sure I would be able to clean the hatband when I saw it on auction. Now that I have the hat, and found that the hatband was the typical two-hook style, I found I could search for all kinds of hatbands. To date, I haven't found a grosgrain band I like, and I just today removed the...- OldStrummer

Post New Hats Here!
Is it cheating to post here rather than start a new thread that won't last? I was going to start a new thread called, "My Knox New Yorker Got a Face-lift," but then decided to just update my info here. The New Yorker is relatively new -- I posted here when I got it, and said the hatband was...- OldStrummer

What's The Story on Wilsons Leather?
I get the "fetish country" remark. On the other hand, I wore one of my Wilsons Leather on a trip to St. Paul, MN a couple of years ago, when the low temperature one day was a -33°F wind chill. A beanie hat, gloves and wool scarf made going outside (admittedly for a short one block walk)...- OldStrummer

What's The Story on Wilsons Leather?
The general opinion here seems to be rather dismissive of Wilsons Leather. Why? I own three and they've all been terrific. Removable Thinsulate® linings, supple, and they fit me well. I recently purchased an Aero A-2 for the cost of three Wilsons jackets, and it has no removable lining, no...- OldStrummer

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
R. Lee Ermey, 74. Best known for his portrayal of the Marine Drill Instructor in the movie, "Full Metal Jacket," Ermey was, in fact, a drill instructor during his service in the USMC. He received a Golden Globe nomination for that role.- OldStrummer

Should Men Wear Bracelets ?
I'm revisiting this thread because I just finished my first paracord project: a replacement zipper pull for one that broke off a brown leather jacket of mine. I couldn't find brown at the local craft shops, so I made this one to hold me over until I can get some. It's simple, and probably not...- OldStrummer

Post New Hats Here!
Thank you, Mike. This is from Delmonico Hatter, the folks who will offer Long Oval as an option. An option I took (and the label so says). "Heavy sweat action," LOL! That's me. Warmer weather is forcing out the winter, and pretty soon I'll be glad hats have sweatbands!- OldStrummer

Post New Hats Here!
After a late arrival home from a business trip today, I was thrilled to learn my new Dobbs Rosebud had been delivered! A great excuse to take off early and head home. Here it is. It's labeled 7-1/4 Long Oval, but it fits a little on the large side. I'm going to add a spacer or two and hope...- OldStrummer

Should Men Wear Bracelets ?
for I'm flying solo these days (no wife or kids at home), so twiddling with paracord is more like I imagine quilting/crocheting is for someone else. I'm not really into bracelets, but as a learning tool, they can be handy. And I can give them out if I wish. I have two personal use cases I'm...- OldStrummer

Name the Actor...
The greatest movie ever made, Casablanca. The actor is Sydney Greenstreet, who if memory serves, played in other Bogart movies. The piano player was Dooley Wilson. Can't remember the song he's playing (it wasn't As Time Goes By, I don't think) and I don't know what question Bogie was asking...- OldStrummer

Should Men Wear Bracelets ?
I find it interesting that this topic should resurface just as I am about to start working on some paracord projects. Nearly every site, book or tutorial starts with creating bracelets. For those not in the know, paracord (short for "parachute cord") is a high tensile strength nylon cord that...- OldStrummer

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Sad to share the passing of Mike Forslund, aka "Mike McKay." Mike was a combat medic in Vietnam who returned to the States and made the radio business his career. He worked both behind a microphone as "Commander McKay" on Washington, D.C.'s DC-101 FM and then for 30+ years as a board operator...- OldStrummer
