    Excellent Deal on new wool pants

    I bought the extra large, and my measurements are 36 or 38 waist (depending on maker) by 32 inseam. My actual waistline is 38". Actually I can squeeze into the large (tried them first) but they're a bit too tight for comfort, the extra large are just a hair loose, but a belt or suspenders fixes...

    "Bash." Not a hatter's term?

    Not an Aussie myself, but I lived in far north Queensland for awhile and that's where I first heard the term Bash. I wore an American made custom hat and you could almost bet that any time I wore it to a pub some Queenslander would offer to do a "Queensland Bash" on it for me, that is if they...

    Fed Regular sizing and hatsdirect service

    Yup, I had a similar experience with them when I ordered my Fed Deluxe. Been wearing hats long enough to think I knew better and ordered a 59. Waaaay too big, shrinking it would have given me a mad hatter taper. So I sent it back for a 58 which of course were out of stock at the moment, but Ron...

    Another Akubra Federation too big

    I measure between a 58 and a 59 so I ordered the 59. No freakin' way it was going to work, came down to my nose nearly. So I sent it back for a 58 which was still big enough that I needed to put the foam tape all the way around. Well I loved the hat so I wear it pretty much everywhere and began...

    Did You Get An Allowance?

    I think that's actually a hell of an idea. I may steal it for my girls. They just don't get money yet (they are only 5 and 11 now), but this might just be the thing to teach them that money comes in finite amounts. As it is they think Dad's an unending fount of cash.

    Nutty Neighbors

    I guess I've been lucky for the most part, never really had horrible neighbors. When we bought our house last year I had the advantage only a pawnbroker or cop usually has, I have a database with all my pawn customers and their addresses, and used that to make sure I didn't buy a house too near...

    Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk

    I think I've pretty much outgrown that particular phase in my life, for the most part. Nowadays maybe once or twice a year I'll get a bit tight. Too bad in some ways, I remember vividly that I became waaaay more intelligent when I was drunk, and willing to prove it to anyone, though in a...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Yup, when I was a lot younger a nice wool blanket was all I needed. As the years piled on I found I wanted much more stuff to be able to sleep through the night without waking up cold and sore. Nowadays an air mattress and good sleeping bag surrounded by a large tent to keep all the other...

    I hate birds.

    I had to stop feeding the pigeons at my store, the .22 diet I made up special for them was upsetting the neighbors.
