    Barbeque

    Someone once that that if the joint has a German name, it's likely mustard based; Scotch-Irish, vinegar. I never had mustard until I went to the University and visited Maurice's and the now defunct Ray Lever's in Blythewood.

    Fox Creek Leather Appreciation Thread

    I rode a Triumph Bonneville from the dealer home for a friend who bought it last October. While it is only 65 HP, I found it "sneaky fast." Looked down on the Interstate once and found I was going 90 MPH and had no idea. Unfortunately my friend, who like me was taking up motorcycling in...

    Wested Indy Jacket - Experienced Advice Please

    I sure love mine which is distressed hide ("novepelle"). It's only a few months old, but I've worn is for yard work. I own two U.S. Wings jackets and would guess that the Wested will outlast them.

    Barbeque

    I drive between Pennsylvania and Myrtle Beach a couple of times a year, and have been meaning to try Wilber's. I took the Western route and hit Lexington #1 after Christmas. Being a South Carolinian, I was raised on mustard based. But then I lived for a while in the KC area, so make a...

    Adventurer in Oz

    I ended up taking about 1/2 inch off the brim of my DM Adventurer. Just didn't look right on my fat head. Much better now.

    Loungers' Pets

    This one is about 16 inches. They can get three feet in the wild. A lot of people start them on live feeders, then that's all they will eat. I got this one on pellets and sticks when he was three inches.

    My new DM Akubra Adventurer

    I did my Adventurer yesterday and just freehanded it with a razor knife on a large kitchen cutting board, and then sanded it down. Worked pretty well--you could never tell unless you were holding it and looking very close. I finally admitted that a broad brim just doesn't work with my round...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Have you looked on Sierra Trading Post? I got one of the "Oxford Blue" ones from them. I compared it to a buddy's Barbour. It's not as good but for 1/5th the price, is good enough. The John Partridge one they have also looks nice. If I hadn't just sprung for a new U.S. Wings A2, I'd be...

    Akubra Federation and Sydney Crown Heights

    I could do a Syd and an Adventurer for you, but not a Fed.

    what did YOU take in school??

    Philosophy and international studies as an undergrad; political science with a specialization in international relations in grad school. The retirement plan and stock option package for professional philosophers was inadequate, so I am working in my grad school field.

    Question About Akubra Liners

    Like Jimmy said, I took the liner out of my recently acquired Riverina because I intend to use it flyfishing. Nothing inside.

    Akubra Squatter Crown Height? And Pics of My Bushman

    How did you trim the brim? I've been trying to work up the courage to do it to my Adventurer. I did it to an old Statesman with scissors and it doesn't look great, even after sanding.
