    First attempt at hat shaping...how'd I do?

    If i tried that I'd wind up with something like Jughead's hat. Really nice job you did and great hat.

    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    That coyote color is really beautiful, almost like a slightly darker whiskey.

    Will Woody Allen revive 1930's fashion for men?

    You're right about the audiences, but Allan's very big in France and a film like this could make an impression on the designers. Fashion design is all about constant change, and the super-skinny, super-tight look, meant for 14-year-olds, is about due for a reversal, as it's been around now for...

    Do you sweat much under your Panama Hat?

    I've only handled a parabuntal, but it seemed extraordinarily light compared to my straws. As far as the sweating goes, it's hot as hell out there. I just wipe the sweat off with a handkerchief and think about Iceland.

    M422-A Flight Jacket by Gibson & Barnes 36R

    Just a piece of advice: you might want to recheck those measurements and advise possible buyers of a realistic sizing. Nothing turns people off faster, in online sales, as confusing sizing. I'd detail how I sized it, and then put that adjusted size in the banner.

    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    He sent it to one publisher who rejected it, so he stuck it in a drawer where it remained until after his death. It has a logic of its own, I think, that makes complete sense at the end.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I worked my way through college by trimming trees and can recall having to throw out work gloves because of sap. The absolute worst trees, though, are sycamores, the slobs of the arboreal world.

    Einstein Levi's Leather Jacket Sells for $147,000

    The sexiest women in the world hang out in art museums on Sunday afternoons and wear black leotards. Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers did a song about them (can't remember the title).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    What an absolutely gorgeous hat. I normally just hit "Like" when I see a nice hat, but this one deserves special recognition. With that in mind, though, I must say that I once again freaked out when I saw it sitting on those pine boughs. I know you're careful about it and it makes for a great...

    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    The Irish writer, Flann O'Brien, in a book called "The Third Policeman," has something called "the Atomic Theory of Bicycles." Apparently, if you spend too much time on a bike the atoms in your ass merge with those of the seat, which explains why Irish policemen are often up to 80% bicycle and...

    As I said, in the 1960's the store had already been there a long time.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thanks very much. I've been thinking that the Artlite might make a nice alternative to straw, which is all I wear at this time of year down here.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you for the photo. I've been reading the works of the Austrian writer Robert Warser, a number of which are descriptions of those roads. He's an incredibly interesting writer: I can't think of anyone who writes like him.

    Einstein Levi's Leather Jacket Sells for $147,000

    I wonder if he didn't get the jacket at a little shop off of Nassau Street that was an old shop back in the Sixties and is still there. It's a narrow little place that sells Levi's, leather jackets, heavy socks and sweaters, etc. It would have been like him to avoid the preppy shops on the main...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    For me, that style and those dimensions are just about perfect. For my Christmas hat (my P.R. campaign with my wife), I'm thinking the Sahara, but does anyone know what colors are available in Art-lite? I've been searching this thread and Art's homepage but couldn't find any list.

    Horween FQHH and shoulder bags/backpacks

    I was looking at my brown fqhh LHB last night and noting the areas that have become shiny and smooth. I've had the jacket since 2012 and have done nothing to it but wear it, and it just looks better and better every time I look at it. If you leave it alone, it's going to get the look you want...
