    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Nice. It warmed up well into the 50s in Denver today, but instead of having fun I spent my time in the sun working broken water pump bolts out of a Ford V8 in a van with a hammer and cold chisel.

    Sigh. I'll never get better at sewing.

    The Conversion Corral

    I stopped at the $1.39/lb. Goodwill Outlet thrift store today, hoping to find some computer cords for pennies. I ended up with yet another Singer sewing machine. It's old enough I think it will have power to sew through thin leather, but new enough to have the option of two needles, which means...

    Hat Storage

    Sounds really warm and cozy, doesn't it? Just wait until I figure out how to make my images smaller for upload. You'll be thinking, "This guy needs a barn out back."

    Hat Storage

    You really shouldn't be outside without a hat, brother. The sun will get you every time. There are several caveats, including beach time, but we'll let the lawyers work that out. Come to think of it, there are few Loungers that admit to being lawyers.

    Hat Storage

    From a tent or booth at festivals and events, I think I could eventually be happy with a small storefront, perhaps with lodging upstairs like in times past.

    Hat Storage

    For me it's more than a hobby. I hope to turn it into a business to supplement retirement. There are more ducks to get in a row than I first realized, and life's surprises seem to get in the way, but I'm hoping to enter this from a different angle than most modern hatters. I'd like to have a...

    Hat Storage

    Hats hanging everywhere actually looks pretty cool. It beats paintings bought at events in Hotels hands down!

    Dating Vintage Stetsons by size tag

    There is usually something, somewhere inside if you look hard enough ... Maybe a 2 chalked inside the band or under the liner. It helped to know what you were working on while one was in production.

    Maybe Canada was different, but listing both size designations was more recent than that here.

    The Conversion Corral

    The sewing machine seems like a wild animal with a will of its own when you first try to use one, not to mention learning how to set it up correctly so you don't get thread snarling down by the bobbin, which is usually accessed through a door sized for female hands. That vintage Singer may not...

    Hat Storage

    Over the years I have switched enthusiasms as well, Hector. In fact, the evidence is still around cluttering up the joint. Because of that my wife has been very resistant to my collection of hats. After it created serious tension between us for quite a while she seems to have mellowed...

    That looks like a five or six hat rack to me, Bob.

    The Conversion Corral

    Nice job, Terry. It looks great! Between stretching to size up and pouncing, do you thin a Western weight felt closer to dress weight? That's some nice, even, small stitching. My back issues register down my arms into my hands, and I'm also developing arthritis, mainly in my thumbs. It huts to...
