    Wanted: Big Beat-up Bowler on the Cheap

    I'm looking for a 7 5/8 or 3/4 bowler in any condition for around $20. I'm putting together a Victorian brawler Halloween costume so a beat up hat with stains or some holes would be perfect. Dark colors like black, brown, or dark green are preferred but if you have an oddball light colored one...

    Anybody Work with Vintage Sewing Machines

    Hey All, I was given a 1921 Singer Model 16 walking foot industrial sewing machine. It has an electric motor under the table with a round leather belt that comes through the table to run the machine. The issue I'm having is the machine keeps throwing the belt. I've tried tighening the...

    Naked City (1948)

    I know this post is over five years old but... I just saw the movie last week and I really enjoyed it! It really struck me when the killer, running from the police, takes time to put on a jacket as he leaves his apartment. When he ran down the street you could see why, all the men on the...

    Big & Tall Head? Low Slung Ears? I Have No Idea What I’m Doing.

    Hello Fellas, Sorry for the delay in the response. I've been looking for a hat (found one!) and I lost my internet access. I teach high school and the main server for the area blocked the FL! I bought a new computer for home and now I'm having issues getting internet access at home. I'm only...

    The Stuff of Nightmares.

    I Googled Joshua Hoffine and found his, I assume, new site. I agree the pictures are too obvious, for lack of a better word. They are done, there is nothing left to wonder about. I like some of Gregory Crewdson's work but much of it, to me, looks too fake. I think that is the result of a lot...

    Dead people's facial features

    I've seen book of pictures of children who had passed away before, most were posed like they were sleeping. A peaceful reminder of those who had passed on, for many this was the only tangible memory of their lost children. However the picture shot through the open window is weird! That kids...

    Big & Tall Head? Low Slung Ears? I Have No Idea What I’m Doing.

    I don't like my hats ridiculously low, I've just never been a fan of a high perched hat. I like my head to go into a hat rather than a hat that goes on my head. I'm not sure if that is any clearer. :rolleyes:

    Big & Tall Head? Low Slung Ears? I Have No Idea What I’m Doing.

    Thanks for the tips. I'll get a tailors tape and get some more accurate measurements. I Should have made a point of saying I don't own either hat, I just snagged the pics from Ebay. I was sold on the Dobbs but I did not get a chance to bid because the meeting I was in lasted longer...

    Big & Tall Head? Low Slung Ears? I Have No Idea What I’m Doing.

    Hello All, I’m just getting into vintage fedoras and am a little lost. I do have a new Stormy Kromer that I’ve gotten several positive comments on and I really like. I also have a pith helmet that I ware once a year at a car show I help put on, I don’t get as many positive comments on...
