Question[s] about a Stetson[s]
Thanks all who responded, it was truly helpful. -
Question[s] about a Stetson[s]
Looks like a six month delivery lead. By that time we'll be back into straw hats for the summer. The exchange rate is in favor for US buyers for sure and I will look for some photos of it on here. -
Question[s] about a Stetson[s]
I'm looking at the Stetson site about to purchase an Open Road or Stratoliner and see there are a few versions of each model. Pricing of the most expensive model is easy to figure out it's about the material. My question is how do the others differ and what would you spec out for any similar hat... -

What to do with memorabilia?
It seems as if there is less and less interest in this stuff from millennials. These museums seem to fail too unless it is quite large and well traveled and supported. -
Physiological problems of bomber crews in the eighth air force during wwii
TheBritish pretty much knew that nighttime bombing was not working so there was no real alternative to daylight with the inherent risks. In 42 and 43 the infantry was the place to be. In 44 the air was ours and everyone envied the fly boys. The maxing part is that they got up and back in these... -

Wall Street Journal Jan 25
I do like the paper and get it when I get a discount offer on subscription. That being said I wonder how they allowed the phrase to get in a newspaper such as D bag in the opening paragraph. Talk about offending people, I guess it is O.K. to offend some of the people, just not the ones who speak... -
Wall Street Journal Jan 25
Has anyone seen the article in the Wall Street Journal for The weekend of January 24 and 25 edition. They have an article on hats which I have to say I am not too crazy about how the writer opened up the piece. -

Hat Stores-a list
J.R. Tobacco I just drove back home from a week in Pawleys Island SC and made a stop at J.R. Tobacco Exit 97 on Route 95 in North Carolina, I believe the town is Smithville. I picked up a Stetson Sante Fe for 56.00 which I thought was a great deal. I have a twill for the summer and the... -
NYC Garment District
I am a big enough boy to know that where I am is a bit dangerous regardless of what skin color the people are around me. Please do not tell us that you never get nervous about an area or person around you. Please do not tell us you make zero judgements about an area where you look to rent, or...- gman41

Cheap labor or slave labor while CEOs of these companies make millions a year and are treated like royalty. I guess the next question is this, So does it mean the same to own these labels, if they are made in a sweat shop in Bangladesh as are clothes from Walmart, then what is the difference.- gman41

Vintage Police Uniforms
Those are trucker reality shows some of which have been taken off the air. None of which were really any good to begin with. Please show me a trucker show such as the old "movin On" from the 1970s. A drama such as CSI and Blue Bloods but with truckers.- gman41

Vintage Police Uniforms
I'm not so certain police are looking for any admiration or love. There are how many million truck drivers in the USA yet we have no TV shows about them. We do have a boatload of shows about police. There is a fascination the public has with them and many think they know enough to judge their...- gman41

Vintage Police Uniforms
The work of the Texas Rangers and that of a uniformed force are very much different. Not that one is better or more important, it is just different. The suit coat that you see in the photo of the Massachusetts state police is basically the same worn by New Jersey State Police while on duty in...- gman41

Vintage Police Uniforms
Europe has a different view and or use for police then we do here in America. America differs greatly than even that of neighboring Canada. Culture seems to come into play here when we speak of police and authority. America has about 330 million people here that we know about. Mental illness and...- gman41

Vintage Police Uniforms
I agree with the above. Whenever something new comes out in policing everyone feels the need to jump on it and perfect it or put their own spin to it. That is how things become as they say bastardized. The BDUs were for dirty jobs such as snowy slushy day, working traffic posts at a...- gman41

Vintage Police Uniforms
I understand the hat issue here! Police hats go back to the days of when most cops served in the military through the draft and were indoctrinated into the wearing of them whenever outside. Since most cops these days have not served in the military the wearing of them has eased over the years it...- gman41
