    What happened to panamabob on ebay?

    I guess the real problem is once its out of your hands and into the hands of the delivery agent, thats when the real fun begins. I recently sent a set of audio tapes via the post, thankfully they were returned to me in the damaged mess the post office left them in. A bit like losing your bag at...

    What happened to panamabob on ebay?

    Sounds really ethical and nice but people simply see ebay as a shopping arena. If you advertise a product, expect to be bothered if it doesnt turn up. Depends what you mean by a reasonable wait. Ten weeks in my book is not reasonable unless from the outset people are told, this is what you pay...

    The end of civilization

    I will tell you how it is from the inside. I'm a cop, a rozzer, one of the filth. The whole point to this is having cameras does make the place safer and I can understand the rationale of treating everyone fairly but the problem isnt the CCTV its the people who enforce the rules. The whole point...

    Are you ugly 'cause yer mad or are ya mad 'cause yer ugly?

    http://www.villagehatshop.com/vhs_jaxon_bogart.html I dont have one like the jaxon bogart but it looks like the kind I would like and very similar to the one I wear. Have a look around the village hat shop. The brim on my hat is only 2in.

    Are you ugly 'cause yer mad or are ya mad 'cause yer ugly?

    For me the angle of the camera doesnt help. The brim looks quite wide, the hat is tilted but the crown looks about right. It looks quite a bit of hat for your head. Those hats look to me to be a bit of a safari hat as in the brim is wide and its built tough for keeping the sun and rain off and...

    Let me show you Derelicte!

    Someone actually needs to get hold of Ralph Lauren and say, "the hats look good, so sell them!!!!". Otherwise its same as usual, too few shops, too little high street choice, every dopey schmuck not knowing what looks good, what doesnt, where to get one etc etc and just giving up.

    Are you ugly 'cause yer mad or are ya mad 'cause yer ugly?

    Thanks for the comments guys. I hope it doesnt sound too bolshie, its not meant to. Just that in my experience partners dont like change, its a bit of a threat, also there are many other people out there who will take the michael out of your hat but if suddenly everyone was expected to wear one...

    Enjoying a cup of tea

    Being thoroughly patriotic about being from Yorkshire (Yorkshire lad born and bred, strong in arm, thick in head):rolleyes: It has to be Yorkshire tea for me. Actually its a blend of a number of teas to make a more palatable taste, generally preferred strong with a dash of milk and a bit of...

    Are you ugly 'cause yer mad or are ya mad 'cause yer ugly?

    We need to get something straight here. Youve asked for your partners opinion and she gave it. Doesnt mean its right. I have been wearing hats for some years, on and off. I first met my wife when I was wearing a borsalino with a 2 3/4in brim, a self made ribbon. We married a couple of years...

    Enjoying a cup of tea

    Being a Brit, its something of a right of passage that you have to have at some point in your life, your Gran make a pot of tea and strain it into your cup. The tea doesnt matter, its the ritual and the company. Same as coffee, "do you want a cup of coffee?" has very little to do with the coffee...

    Question about stretching from a newbie

    I use a fat charleys hat stretcher also from ebay. I bought a really nice trilby from www.hatsonline.com (the city) but within a few weeks it sat just a little bit tight which I put down to going from a central heated house to near freezing temperature on a regular basis plus with days sitting...

    The Goldfinger Suit

    I only think hats get looks when they look unneccesary. For instance why have an umberella when you have a hat? Why wear gloves but no coat? If it was raining or snowing and you had a coat on and a hat then it would look warm and practical. Otherwise it does look a bit of a fop. Having said...

    TheHatSite.com

    I think you definately need to modernise the hat image. Add some pics of modern trendy guys in good hats, some advice about when to wear, what size to buy, what outfits look cool etc. Basically an advertising job to lure in the non hat wearing public. Dont forget though if youre going to do that...

    Where do you wear yours?

    Now I sort of see myself it does look very English. Also it really does help to hide that HIDEOUS DOUBLE CHIN I CANT RID MYSELF OF! GRRRRRR.:rolleyes:

    What I would call a modern useage of suit jacket and fedora. Cant do much about the ugly mug though....

    Positive role models for hat wearing. Thin on the ground?

    Some self advertising but trying to show how a fedora/trilby can be matched with modern gear to make it look "not at all costume". I think: Cant do much about the ugly mug though....
