Birding - A Civilized Pastime
My Ma has spent the last 10 years coaxing bluebirds into her yard from the field just beyond. She has around 15 nesting boxes over the course of about 50 yards.

James Gleason always seems to have a hat a little too high in the crown. a touch too wide in the brim and is often askew atop of his seemingly small head.....total class in my book......:eusa_clap -
Stretching a hat - advice please....
I just took a moderate quality 1960's dobbs from a 7 3/8 to a 7 1/2 approx and so far she is staying pretty good. The sweat was a little thinner than most which probably helped. I used a modern stretcher similar in style to the vintage one on the bottom right in Cooncatbob's picture. Someone... -

Ladies and Gents. Does anyone know much about these lighters?
Yup..they are Ronsons. Perpetually vintage and perpetually cool. I have several that I've used in rotation for years. The only drawback I see to them is that the wicks wear down rapidly and they aren't great in the wind . I smoke so I'm cracking mine all day long. My dad always used to say "like...- nulty

Scott and Company Limited in Boston
Hi... I bought a nice old wool Burberry overcoat at the recent madison bouckville antique show. I'm trying to put a date to the coat but can't pin it down.

Job Interview
A fedora to an interview is fine as long as you treat the hat as part of your attire and not The part of your attire. It's just a hat after all but since it adds to the sense of style you are trying to convey , be comfortable with it. I'd rather hire a fellow who I feel right about and has...
