    Post New Hats Here!

    G'd day mates! "Now it's a beautiful day, the postman delivered ...", no, not a letter from your lover but a package from OZ. With my new Akubra Cattleman plus a roo leather stampede string. Looks great and feels great.

    Pimping a cheap Trilby

    Some days ago I bought a cheap Trilby hat, "Blues Brothers" style, at villagehats. Since it is really a quite cheap hat, I wanted to pimp that hat by inserting a lining. I bought some golden satin and did some sewing this afternoon. I guess, it doesn't look that bad now. What do you think?

    Why the 1920s-1940s?

    My answer is a picture, taken 1925, showing my grandpa and some friends. My Grandpa is the gentleman on the left, with the Homburg hat and the black coat with propably velvet collar. They are taking a cure in German spa Bad Lippspringe. My Grandpa was suffering from a lung disease. Alle these...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's a sunny day, that means t-shirt and a light jacket. My classic Trilby will do perfectly, even without black suit, sunglasses and black tie. :D

    The wrist watch.

    I'd love to have a Breitling Navitimer, but since I cannot afford one, I bought a nice Casio Edifice. It is no copy so it can be carried without being ashamed. And - it's a man's wrist watch. My other watch is a more classical style I bought in the 70s, I will show it later.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    These days I'm wearing my recently bought Olney, usually. A nice hat for every day, walking the dog, going shopping, just the normal day.

    Your favourit team in FIFA 2010?

    The European Football Organisation UEFA will have special referees for the goal lines in future matches. It is necessary. So I'm quite sure that the next World Championship will have them, too.

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    I like the new Doctor. Matt Smith is a good Doctor with a lot of nostalgic elements. Tennant was "new" and he attracted many new viewers. Smith stands for a new series strongly based in classical Doctor Who seasons. Now the season has ended and, no, I won't write any spoilers. But I'm glad...

    Does this mean I am getting old, or just finaly smartened up a bit?

    You did the right thing. Engaging in physical combat if you are not attacked physically is a certain way of showing respect for your opponent. If he is not worthy such engagement (which was the case here) just closing the door was the best thing to do. If a gentleman would have suggested a...

    The modern cowboy hat

    I'm not so sure whether this is right. I've been searching through literally hundreds of photographs - every Cowboy's "Boss of the plains" or other hat was bashed. But it is true: the Boss of the Plains was not formed in factory. The owner shaped crown und rim according to his personal wishes...

    The Hat Style Sensation of 1938

    My father was a "Hat-Man", he had some fifty hats. But never did he wear a "Tirolerhut", he considered them to be "tasteless". As a "sports hat" he used to wear straw hats (mostly Panamas), Trilbies or Pork Pies,

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I miss - typewriters. Writing with a computer is nice and easy, but it has no 'magic'. And I miss - Fanzines. Whether cheaply printed, photocopied or even carbon copied, I love Fanzines. Or loved - since they are gone. All those websites, weblogs and internet discussion boards are great and...

    Your favourit team in FIFA 2010?

    Though chances are high that British fans don't like the German Football team because we usually win and you usually lose? [angel] (Sorry, no harm intended. I am what people tend to call 'anglophil', but when talking about Fußball, everything is different ^_^)

    The Return of the Man's Man

    I guess it's rather simple: the western culture was quite feminised. Which started in the 1960s and lead to the extreme with men dressing like women and women dressing like men, with men who try to be good in housewifing and women trying to be tough as men etc. Now the pendulum swings back...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello! When I was looking for informations concerning fedora hats Mrs. Google sent me to this board. Have been lurking some time and now I've registered. My hobbies are costuming and swordfighting. I do costumes from several periods, be it middle ages up to Star Wars. During the last months...
