It's odd, as the quality of the ads has gone up, the performance has gone down. When the owner first began to monetize this site, it was 'meet asian girls for free', today its national brands like UnitedHealthcare, Disney and NBC. I guess it speaks to the sophistication of the reader. I don't...
The San Francisco Bay Area has many micro climates. During the summer and within The City itself, the fog will come in and stop at the same block day after day after day. Inside the fog, it's cold and windy. Just outside the fog, it's sunny and breezy. In the greater Bay Area during spring...
My Stetson Dune is a very functional hat. I view it as a piece of protective gear. It's been my daily walking hat, rain or shine, year 'round for the past five, going on six years. It's been sweated through countless times, it's kept me dry during brisk 30 minute walks in heavy rain. Every...
I took off the ribbon, I can see your point. I'll upload a few files.
Here is the cheesy sweatband, about to come out:
jlee, I can see your point about the poly thread:
I left the ribbon attached at the end point:
Basting stitch is in:
And here's Scott's new sweatband, newly sewn...
How does one sew in a new sweatband? More to the point, if I cut all of the visible stitches along the reed, is there still something underneath to sew to?
I purchased a new hat off of eBay that was described as a Promo. It's a Stetson OpenRoad with a 1" ribbon. After some rigorous...
Just seeing this thread for the first time. I have a thought that may or may not apply. I have a Johnson Leather jacket that I used to commute into the San Francisco financial district for years. I was in his shop once and Alan casually commented to me, as if I knew what he was talking about...
I always thought Coronado was good value for the money when it could be had on sale at Cabela's. The company's product and distribution strategy changed a few years ago. The product line has diversified from the original concealed carry vests and I suspect is still made in Mexico, but the...
I briefly had a black Borsalino, which I returned because of a sizing issue. I would have kept it, but in retrospect I'm glad it was exchanged for a dark grey. The black, for me, was just too severe. The dark grey brings out my skin tone and whatever I'm wearing. The dark grey gets a lot of...
Too funny! The guy had me believing his story.
Shrewd, maybe, I don't know.
But if he's misrepresenting quality standards and pedigree, then that's not good.
I also have my wool sweaters in sealed plastic, but my hats, I just enjoy having them around in the house. There's a few in the hallway coat closet, a couple at the front door, a yard hat at the back door, and so forth. They get worn, they get sweated in, rained on, hiked in, lots of yard work...
I have about a dozen felt hats around the house on a variety of hatstands, hooks, backs of chairs, etc.
During this spring, I became more sensitive to moths in the house, something I never really cared about before. But, with the hats around, I decided to give each one a good brushing about...
