For those of you looking for replacement ribbons for your old typewriters, I recently discovered Ames Supply Co., they stock lots of typewriter ribbon for various machines and their prices are great. For those of you who chop keys off of typewriters, please have mercy on these beautiful...

Maybe someone else has already mentioned this one but how about the Hat Check girl (or guy). With the exception of the local symphony hall there is never anywhere safe to leave your hat when you're out on the town.

Stetson Moose River (silverbelly) I just got this in the mail today - just an hour ago - so I haven't had a chance to take a picture of it on my noggin, but I will. I returned an L.L. Bean gift (a coat) that just wasn't my style - they let me exchange it for the hat. I've heard some mixed...

Does anyone know where to find child sized fedoras (other than the Dorfman Indy hat)? I'm looking for a fedora for my 4 year old son. He wants to look just like Dad.

Great article. I'm going to go put on my Dobbs and read it again.

Thanks for the information everyone - I was the only gent there with a hat on, so I was on my own.

Hat Etiquette I looked through the Sticky on this topic but didn't find the answer I was searching for - or maybe I just did a poor job of interpreting what I did find. Anyway, here's my question: When going to the Symphony or the Theater (not the movies), when and where should you remove your...

rrog - thanks for the compliment on the hat, I like it much better now than I did back then. But I sort of knew back then that I had a diamond in the rough. The photo of me in the "cowboy" get-up was taken by a friend while at a Halloween party many years ago. I think I was going for that...

It's a Stetson Revenger and it used to look like the one pictured below, but mine is a different color. The picture is of one that is for sale on ebay. And I'm almost too embarrassed to post this pic here, but here goes. That's me back in 1990 sporting my practically brand new Stetson...

Hey ET - regarding the Ukedelics, no we don't have a CD yet, but we are working on it. Glad you like the website.

Make mine a Bushmills Irish Whiskey with a splash of ginger-ale on the rocks. And LizzieMaine has got me thinking about PBR. There's a couple of local watering holes here in Nashville that serve it on tap - beer snobs look down their noses at it, but folks in Nashville seem to have a real...

Restoration Hardware always has a unique selection of just this sort of stuff. HERE are some of their hat/coat hooks. I'm not sure if these would fit in with a billiard theme but they look nice enough to hang your hat on.

The Dude - yes I still have the Stetson. That one always goes with me on camping, fishing and hiking trips.

the mandolin AlanC - that mando on the wall is a Kentucky - it's my beater - that thing can really take the abuse that I dish out.

Harmonica was my first instrument Hey HarpPlayerGene, I've always loved the harmonica - it was my first instrument as a kid, my grandfather gave me one years ago when I was a wee lad. I still play one - they go well with ukulele (which is, by far, my favorite instrument). I'd love to have...
