    HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

    Here's my go at it! I decided to put a bar-backed pin on the Akubra. Here it is with a United Airlines 100,000 mile propliner pin. It is hard to see fine detail but it is a generic four radial-engined propliner, like a DC-4 through DC-7, B-377 or B-309, maybe). It fits nicely behind a loop on...

    Cowboy hats - opinions?

    Maybe no "open range" but still pretty close!! Certainly there is no longer a true "open range," but anyone who has ever visited the rural midwest (Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc.) will tell you of the vast farms, miles and miles from any population centers, where farmers and ranchers work the...

    HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

    Thanks RBH! It may be a little tight on the Akubra, since I had to put some cork around the head band to prevent sweat stains. I will look at other hats that may work better. Thanks for explaining how you did your hats with these two types of pins!! I will certainly post pics when I do. Jeff G.

    HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

    Do these pins have the button-style clasp? I love these hat pins, guys!!!! I would like to know how they mount up. One of the DC-3s, has a horizontal pin-type clasp that makes that style a good choice, but some of the others seem to have a post pin with a button or squeeze clasp. (hope I am...

    Preventing Sweat Stains?

    Thanks Brad-My Custom Hat Will Include That! I appreciate you taking that photo for showing your idea. The next hat I get will probably be a custom one, and I will incorporate that idea. After thinking about it, it would seem you are right, those thread holes are the leak in the dinghylol...

    Preventing Sweat Stains?

    That helps. I know what material you are talking about, I believe. Instead of library book cover plastic, it is more flexible and has an almost rubbery feel to it, but at the same time is also transparent? I have some of the suspected material in the top of an Akubra Wentworth I have, if its...

    Preventing Sweat Stains?

    Is Plastic different from "Onion Skin" material? Thanks guys, Is the plastic, the clear acetate, like used to cover library books, or something else? Am I guessing correctly that onion skin is not really "onion skin?":o Is this the stuff similar to parchment paper? Both of these ideas...

    Preventing Sweat Stains?

    Thanks for the Help. Thanks for the ideas! Since the hat I am thinking about is new and a tad on the big side, I think I will go with the cork sheet idea and leave the pads to my wife:eek:;) and the duck tape for fixing my old carlol Jeff

    Preventing Sweat Stains?

    Good Evening. I seem to sweat alot when I wear any type of hat or cap, but especially when I wear a leather-banded hat. I have searched the forum and didn't see an answer to the problem, but I may have missed it. Does anyone have any ideas for preventing sweat damage before it stains? I was...

    Take A Look at my Halli

    Hi everyone, I just finished doing a partial restoration on a 1951 Hallicrafters 5R30 Continental AM/Shortwave receiver. I think it looks good, and it works great. I replaced the old capacitors and installed a safety capacitor to keep both me and the chassis safe from damaging electricity. I...

    Digital radio threatens my valve radio

    Thanks! I appreciate your help I had been leaning toward these anyway, but hadn't heard anything from someone here on the forum. Hawkcigar, my username was one I created because of another hobby of mine, amateur radio (ham radio). I first used it on their forums since it hadn't been taken...
