What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Today, an el cheepo cotton brim and top, side of crown nylon mesh from Tractor Supply to work in the yard. Heat is horrible down here so I need something like this that I do not worry about ruining. I actually bought three of these regularly $15 hats on sale for about 49 ea., and gave one to... -
B-17 flew over!
I see them at air shows and the occasional fly in here in E Texas. Back in the very early 70's when I was a young AF officer at Robins AFB, Ga I used to see quite a few. It seems as though the USDA(dept of agriculture) had several stationed at the Macon, Ga airport that were used in the ill... -
Rain Hat
Look at the Akubra's. There are many styles and colors to choose from. My first felt other than Stetson/Resistol westerns was an Akubra Banjo Patterson, A slightly modified fedora shape, with a hatband of some kind of gamefish, really a sharp looking hat casual but smart enough to be worn... -
Chinese hats
My Lab mix sheds enough hair to probably make a couple of hats a year, if I would collect and save it.( no way) I generally try to look for products not made in China or Asia for that matter. I just do not like their attitudes and ways of doing business. -

Felt hats in summer..
That is exactly how I handle the heat and humidity here. If I am to be doing anything to generate a lot of sweat which does not require much effort on my part I wear a Tilley, or for yard work a cheap ventilated fedora from Tractor Supply, twill brim and top and heavy nylon mesh on crown sides... -
Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
I have had one like this for years, It is great for lawn mowing on a hot sunny day. When I was in Air Force OTS back in late 60's we had to wear them in hot weather and really appreciated them when on that hot drill pad in San Antonio in early summer. I do not envy the guys in the next... -
I Got The "Brim Too Wide" Blues!
Man that's getting into the realm of two narrow as far as I am concerned. I like one wide enough to shade my eyes and keep rain from running down my neck. I like 3-3 1/4" if I can find them -
Hat Jacks for $6.49
Looking at the web site I found that item. Do they have any way to order online, closest store for me is almost 60 miles so will only go there if passing by, if I can remember. -
AB Deluxe and the Teardrop of the Crystal Skull
After I got my AB I rebashed it to a teardrop. It is by far my favorite block, along with a telescope. Recently I had one of my dad's old westerns re blocked to a teardrop, a stiff large fedora, thin ribbon now . It looks more like one of the wide brimmed fedora's of the 1930's era. Just... -

Straw hat with green insert.
I have seen those in Tractor Supply in Texas and Louisiana. I cannot remember the price, but they were cheap. -
Has this ever happened to you? Or do I need a MRI?
Actually I have those symptoms fairly frequently. I am on two meds , one specifically for hypertension, the other also used for that as well as for my enlarged prostate. The prostate med is known for causing orthostatic hypotension( sudden drop in blood pressure), and in combination with... -
Do You Float Your Hats on your head?
Yeah, we had enough wind around here the last couple of weeks, I actually used a chin strap on one while working outside. -
Western Conversion, Illustrated
I just had a western converted to a thin ribbon fedora style by Mike's Custom Hatters in Longview Tx. I showed him the style I wanted, basically a C crown. and as I like a wider brim, left it at 3.5" This was an old hat of my father's that was too small for me. Mike increased the size from 7... -

Question for you woodworkers
Popular planks can be found at Lowe's and Home Depot. Maximum thickness I have seen is 1" (3/4 " planed final thickness), so it would take a bit of gluing to make a block. Some of the wider planks are already glued up from narrower strips. Popular is not too hard actually fairly soft, much... -
Barbeque
I like it all. Here in E Texas brisket and sausage are about the only things you find. My wife is from Ga and they use a vinegar/mustard sauce with just enough tomatoe to give it a thin red color. There the meat of choice is of course pork and everytime we go there I cannot get enough...- jkingrph

Self-Conscious?
I probably started for many of the same reasons. I can remember dad wearing fedoras way back then he graduated to westerns, probably because he could not find the fedoras back in the 60's -80's in N. Louisiana. I started mostly with westerns which is all you can find here in E Texas, but via... -
