Resistol questions
Working Hats? In the Midwest and West during the 40s and 50s Open Roads and their brethren were working hats, although not necessarily for the lowest laborers.

How to relax Stratton "campaign" hat's extreme stiffness?
Goat hunting hat Plus the hot water and Borax will get the green off your hands. Seriously, put a thin ribbon and chin strap on it, buy a pair of snake-bite boots, get a 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoener (carbine,ds triggers,spoon bolt handle and all) and go goat hunting.- Bruce A. Fulmer

I DID buy this Stratoliner!

Thinking About Soaking My Hat
Anyone need a wash tub bass player? :offtopic: I will admit to being an old time "gut bucket" (wash tub) bass player, having graduated from a Sousaphone to the more primitive single stringed instrument (or device, if you prefer). Anyone need REAL foundation to their music?- Bruce A. Fulmer

Rising felt prices
Although India and China are expanding rapidly in manufacturing and technology, this affects only an extremely small percentage of their population. Products requiring hand labor have an infinite source of cheap labor, and thus should be immune from demand-pull labor price increases. Currency...- Bruce A. Fulmer
