May Day Boycott
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an...- Tudor

Old fashioned names new again....
Two sons: Scott Robert -age 14 – after my Father and brother. Bill Michael – age 10 - (Not William) after my Uncle. I like single syllable first names for a boy. By-the-way, my avatar is a pic of my Dad and Uncle Bill and their Indian motorcycles taken about 1949.- Tudor

Favorite everyday watch
I like my Dad's windup, Swiss movement, Bulova 13 jewel or Hamilton 23 jewel from the mid 50’s for dress occasions. Both look similar to the one on Matt’s wrist. If the watch could get wet or beat up I wear a water-resistant 80's Seiko Quartz.- Tudor

Do you guys REALLY use naptha?
I am no expert so I do not have an alternative for you but I have seen Naptha at Lowe's and Home Depot here in New Mexico. One more thing... I have been told that Denatured Alcohol is a solvent for shelac (a stiffening agent that has been used to help hats hold their shape). You could end up... -

Retro Dating
Classic Hotrods… now that is my kind of gal! My wife and I love taking our ’48 Ford to the drive-in especially when other rodders are there. It is simple fun, you can meet other vintage minded people, enjoy a burger, laugh at each other’s stories of running out of fuel because the gas...- Tudor

Vintage car question - what does this part do?
Mine is formed sheetmetal, curved like a sickle. Round (round-feeling) on the back side (not concave like a spoon). Are you looking to get a vintage vehicle?- Tudor

Felt covered Hat Blocks
Here is a simple question for you mild mannered Hatters (able to leap tall buildings in a single bound...). I have stumbled accross a hat block that is covered with felt. What would a hat block like this be used for and how would its use differ from a "plain" wood block? I apologize if this... -

Vintage car question - what does this part do?
You pull it out (toward you) to set the brake. A trigger like lever at the top part of the handgrip releases it. So, to release the brake you would pull out a little on the hand brake to remove the tension on the pawl and detent that holds the brake set, pull/hold the trigger, and then push...- Tudor

Vintage car question - what does this part do?
Parking Brake Brad is correct, that is the parking brake. On my 1948 Ford it is connected to a cable that goes back to the rear wheels just like on many modern vehicles. Dennis- Tudor

Are you ugly 'cause yer mad or are ya mad 'cause yer ugly?
People do not like what they are not used to seeing. When I started to wear a fedora my wife did not care much for the look. But now that it has been a while (little over a year) she thinks I look "different" without a hat. Additionally, she is becoming a hat snob just like me. She believes... -

Stetson's new beaver fedora
I agree with the sentiment here. I would only be interested in a soft, wide brimmed fedora with a tall crown at a price that is somewhat less than the price of a custom. I hope Hat Co. (Stetson) is paying attention. They need to offer a style and price that the public wants. (and we are the...
