    Zombie_61, I like it, too. Got a chance to meet the "godfather" of the new Morgan three-wheeler, which was birthed right here in Seattle before hopping the pond back to Merry Aulde England. There are a few notes on it here, if you're interested: https://www.jaxworx.com/musings/flying-ace/...

    Pocket Knife

    I carry a Leatherman Wave everywhere I go that doesn't involve traveling by air. It isn't fancy, but the belt sheath is done in decent brown leather (much better than they used to make). We keep a small picnic knife in the car, as well (plus another Leatherman in with the spare tire because...

    G'night, Byrnie.

    The West Coast lost a fine hatter this year when Byrnie Utz closed at 1800 hours on the first of September. Always hoped they'd be around long enough for me to pick up a Borsalino, but it's (still) not in my budget yet. Stopped by for one last visit (and saw the ghost of Elvis) on Union Avenue...

    Stetsons in Seattle

    These are a bit small for my noggin, but may be of interest to Loungers of smaller cranitude. Dunno if they're as vintage as advertised, but nice boxes! http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/clt/5331924717.html

    Just a small, somewhat bittersweet item. My buddy's dad passed on a few months ago. While cleaning out the house, we ran across this hat rack: It's bent brass tubing and turned hardwood ends; very simple. Buddy doesn't wear anything on his kopf but ball caps and motorcycle helmets, so he...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Old work hat My beat-up Filson today. A little wood splitting and some countertop building are in the cards. The Filson shrank (as they do) some years ago -- and good luck stretching it! -- so it perches like a yarmulke now. The beneficial tradeoff is that my earmuffs fit over it when I'm...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Great Black North? This has become my favorite "go-to" hat. If I had a "go-to" camera as nice as this hat, my shots might be in better focus... Biltmore Rosellini, obtained from Byrnie Utz in a swap plus 20 bucks for a beige Akubra open crown Campdraft that I just didn't get used to...

    Thanks (but no thanks...) Thanks, both to you and tonyb above. I went and looked at it, tried it on. The crown is fairly low, the brim is WIDE at nearly four inches, and it's a bit darker tan than the picture in the ad... flash must have paled it. It was my size, sorta. The shape is a...

    Quality of Statesman hats from Oz? Gents: There's a pale-colored, C-crown, rabbit fur hat offered locally on Craigslist. It's branded "Statesman." Kind of a broad-brimmed fedora with grommeted vent holes. A little poking around led me to a site selling Western-styled hats that claims...

    <snork> Maybe. Watch the video someone posted in the Comments section. Mr. Leno may be too old to drive a real car. Cheers, Jack

    When I'm too old for a real bike, I may consider it.

    Since that was written, Morgan has started producing an English version. Jay Leno is on the list for one.

    Okay, I confess that this pocket rocket is not _my_ car. I'm not even sure it's completely a car although, in fairness to myself, neither is the builder. It sure was fun to drive, though, and there are some neat pictures here. As retro as it gets... but new. Some here may enjoy it...
