Straw Hat Day
I nice turn of events. My Akubra Capricorn arrived on the doorstep today, and I mentally prepared myself to suffer until Father's Day, as the lid is a gift from the wife and kids for that occasion. I decided to take out my frustration on the lawn, and lo and behold, my two sons come to me in... -
Shave of the Day
Jakob, that Old Spice is hard to beat! I just scored some original Shulton aftershave and talc from the 50's, it should be here soon. I'd already aquired some pre-plastic bottle P&G AS and cologne. The generic really does come very, very close to the original Shulton scent! Tonight...- TopGumby

New Star Trek
Thumbs up from the whole family. This is an entertaining movie, and it's closer to the TOS spirit than anything that Trek has done in years.- TopGumby

Akubra Capricorn Review
Maybe the gray Capricorn used to be the Kayman? [huh] On the other thread about Aloha shirts and fedoras, Bob C posted that his Capricorn was getting less plastic looking with time....IIRC Bob had said he was unhappy with the hat because of the plastic look. I'm interested in hearing... -

Hat comeback
I see more hats in my area, a bit North of Seattle. I'm no longer surprised if there is another hat at the grocery store if I stop on my way home, and it's often a fedora, but I still see more outback and safari style lids. Lots of newsboy caps. I think the warm weather will mean a... -
Akubra Capricorn Review
Goose goes gray or Capricorn Cap'n The gray looks grand on the Cap'n. Great story about HD. I hope you are wearing it for a long, long time. -
Akubra Capricorn Review
Rain resistance is my main reason for going plastic. I think the only time you'd have to worry about a Capricorn changing shape would be from extreme heat. -
Akubra Capricorn Review
I hope that hat looks as good on me as it does on you. -

Akubra Capricorn Review
Awesome Capricorn on the Cap'n, but I think it should be gray. As to the shoes....it's tough. Boat shoes with socks? Uhhh..... I really ought to wear my saddle shoes and argyle socks just to be contrary. Instead I went with sneaks and those stupid white ankle sock. -
Akubra Capricorn Review
My Capricorn is on it's way, but it's going to be a Father's Day gift! :eusa_doh: Since "Straw Hat Day" for me is May first, when the summer dress code kicks in ( "walking" shorts, collared shirts, but no sandals) I had to grab something quick, so I spent $10 on a cheap straw golf hat with... -
Defending your Hat
I'm pretty sure our hat retrieving lounger was in the legal right. I'm also pretty sure that I'd feel good about doing what he did. I'm also equally sure that had the situation turned sour, I'd have felt pretty ridiculous bleeding out on sidewalk over a hat, or watching somebody else do... -
Defending your Hat
I'd say the situation ended well. Punk got punked, and no harm done. I'd also say that if you are in for a penny you're in for a pound, and while this story has the happy ending that we all can admire, let's suppose that the punk makes a split second decision that he can't back down in front... -

Too soon for straw?
Might snow this weekend in Seattle. Go figure. If you wear a straw before the first day of Spring....well, you know what they say about people like that. :p -

Shave of the Day
Somebody linked a 1957 article on the science of shaving over at Badger and Blade, and I thought I'd give the suggested prep a try. I was skeptical about anything approaching the effectiveness of my somewhat cumbersome hot towel over lather for two minutes prep, but the last couple shaves with...- TopGumby
