    How to take taper out of a Stylemaster

    I saw a remark in another thread that said this: You have a lot of taper on your Stylemaster. One thing you might want to try is adjusting the crease on your hat. If you try a diamond crease it will reduce the taper and widen (and straighten) the top of the crown a little. That might be...

    Brims on panama hats

    I have a lovely panama hat I just love, a panama bob creation that, well, at $45, lets me get into a panama hat to see what I do and don't like about them and a great deal considering the similar hat locally would be well over $100. I got a bigger brim on it because I wanted to make sure that...

    Well, I thought I wanted a briefcase, since i have a Samsonsite soft sided one, not leather but leather like, and it has worked well.

    Steal, or stolen from, on these Talbott cufflinks

    Ebay auction, winning bid at $69.00. Wife says they look like buttons, but I am more worried about the center of the links. I dont know why I skimmed over this on the listing but it appears that a stone is missing from the center and that is glue spots. So, passable because no one looks that...

    Memory foam pillows

    Well, I have tried sleeping on Tempurpedic pillows before but my neck was always so far above horizontal. Been using down pillows for years, and the bad thing is that within a year, the body oils permeate the down, even though I was it. So my head is flat against the mattress and the down...

    Ballpoint Pen refills: Gel vs. Ink vs. ?

    I looked at the one Parker my wife has in her Retro 51 and it is not a gell, but says ballpoint refill. I don't know that I know the difference. How long does one last, a gel, vs. a ballpoint. That auction does not have them capped, so will they dry out? I think we might have had a Shmidtt...
