    Replacing a ribbon on a hat

    No such luck on a local milliner. And I hate asking for free advice from someone who makes their living doing whatever I’m asking advice on. Time is money for them and I hate to be a bother. As far as difficult, all I can do is screw it up. That’s why I got extra ribbon. I’m a very hands on...

    Replacing a ribbon on a hat

    Good evening all. I’ll start off by saying I’ve read everything I can find here and on google on replacing a ribbon. I still have a couple questions. I ordered two yards of Cotton/Rayon antique grosgrain ribbon on Etsy from a known and well reviewed seller. It is 2” wide and dark brown. I’ll be...

    Pocket Knife

    Case Seahorse Whittler is my current everyday carry. I carried a Case Large trapper for years, but it’s so big and heavy it was wearing massive holes in my jeans. I switched to a 3 blade medium stockman, and liked it. This one caught my eye in an online review so I went to Smoky Mountain Knife...

    Fashion Faux Pas, what would you not be seen dead in?

    Crocs are an absolute no go for me, as are trainers/tennis shoes. My dad calls them slippers, always had. I prefer boots. At work that means Thorogood Moc toe work boots, off work that means either cowboy boots or Red Wing Iron rangers. I also don’t wear shorts unless I’m swimming or actively...

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    My Archon Seafarer. Japanese Miyota movement. This is my current favorite, though I’m hoping to find something a little more vintage looking. Either that or a 30’s era pocket watch for dress carry

    Looking for hat information?

    So I bought this Stetson off Facebook marketplace today. I can’t seem to find much info in my google-foo today, probably due to a high dose of pain killers from having knee Surgery at 2:00 pm today. Anyway, the hat is labeled as “The Safari” and says 3x beaver. It’s my new dress/church hat since...

    Work Hats

    They do become a part of you. He is 1" under 18 hands, and weighs in somewhere close to 2200-2300 lbs. He is a gelding and is 12 years old. Our last draft was a Percheron. My dad bought him at 2 yrs old and worked him constantly. His name was Joe. He died at age 31 in the stable, with his head...

    Work Hats

    My dad has worn the same hat 7 days a week for the last ten years. He works on the farm everyday, and up until he retired in 2013 he worked as a heavy equipment operator at the County Highway Department. He still works there a couple days a week. And I wear a hat every where but work. The...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    My Grandmother always went to the store to trade. She never went shopping. I heard and still hear and say a lot of old mountain phrases and slang. My Grandpa was born in 1900 and my dad in 1954, so even though I'm only 27 I had an old upbringing. Sent from behind the anvil
