    Dirty Montecristi

    It's been a LONG while since I've posted here, but I have a big problem with my Montecristi that I hope someone can help me with. One side of the brim is really stained (both on the top and bottom). I am not sure how the stain got there since I haven't worn it in about two years, and it wasn't...

    Portable golden era vehicles

    I was sent this link by a a fellow band director who loves vintage cars. It has some great golden era die cast vehicles, at some really great prices. If you're like me and can't afford the real thing, get a model for your desk and dream about it. http://www.motormint.com/index.asp

    King Kong Trailer

    I sitting here working on some music, and the TV was on the Sci-Fi channel (I work better with random noise in the background) when the trailer for the new King Kong movie premiered. It looks really cool. Finally, we might have a decent remake of a great classic.

    NNNNOOOOOOO!!!

    I took out my Panama hat today and found brown spots on the brim. They go all the way though the straw. I have no idea how this happened. It was stored in the box from September until today. It was clean when I put it in there and there was nothing split on it before. Has this ever happened...

    "Day that shall live in Infamy"

    Let us remember those that lost their lives on this day in 1941, in a moment that thrust a nation into war and began what we know as "The Greatest Generation."

    A neat little gift

    I got my Restortation Hardware catlog in the mail yesterday and found this little gem. It is great for those of us that are fans of Golden Era aircraft (or if you just like to think about how air travel used to be). It features a 1927 Lockheed Vega 1, 1936 DC-3, and 1936 China Clipper...

    Don't diss the USPS

    Nope, the USPS is a non-government funded organization. As of 1970, the government relinquished government control of U.S. mail. The government still makes and enforces the laws regarding abuse of the mail system (mail fraud, terrorism, etc.) but it does not fund it. Sorry to burst your...

    My new GH (UPDATED)

    Here at the pictures of my new GH. I will post more about it when I get home from work this afternoon. The front pinch is not off center, the hat is a little crooked on my head. Please ignore that ugly thing under the brim; it did not come with the hat. Please feel free to ask any...

    How brave/dumb is Michael Moore

    Either Michael Moore has more guts than I thought, or is a bigger idiot than we were lead to believe. I'd be interested in seeing if he leaves "Bush Country" in one piece. I am considering going since he will be taking questions afterwards. What questions would you ask Moore if given the...

    Grey Adam Executive Men?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Fedora for Sale

    I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m selling this because it doesn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t look right on me. It makes my head look big (I have kind of a wide, round face). This is a vintage dark grey fedora made by Adam. This is from their Executive Quality line and dates back to the late 1940?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s and early 1950?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s. The...

    Ronald Reagan passes away at age 93

    Today, we not only lost a great American, but also another actor from the Golden Era. Whether you agreed with his politics or not, Ronald Reagan was arguably one of the greatest Americans of the 20th century, as well as one of this nation?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s greatest presidents. His passion for freedom...

    The national WWII memorial dedication

    Well it is about time!! Almost 59 years after the end of the second world war and eleven years after President Clinton authorized it, the national World War II memorial will finally be dedicated on May 29, 2004. This is a long over due, but well deserved, tribute to the men and women who...

    Hat stand

    I don't know if anyone has one of these or has seen one, but I picked up these hat stands. I like it because it allows the hat to sit upside down, without it actually resting on the crown. Once after wearing one of my PB's in the rain I let it dry it by placing on its crown. After it dried I...

    A few questions about blocks

    I would like to start looking for my own hat block but have a few questions. 1) When the size of block is a 7 1/8, does this take into account the sweatband? In other words, is the block really 22 1/2 inches around if it is a 7 1/8 or is it bigger so there is room for the sweatband to be...
