Post New Hats Here!
Just arrived, fresh from the Beaver Brand auction, via eBay... Since it was in my size -- a size 8! -- and since I didn't have a hat in navy color yet.... Seller asked $50. Got it for $37.50.- Bob Beecher

Quite true! Besides, the campaign hat is only worn by the National Park Service. I'm volunteering with the US Forest Service.- Bob Beecher

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Today, I was a volunteer fire lookout in the Angeles National Forest. It was a bright, sunny day...so I don my Dobbs Harvey milan. (Or would a Smokey Bear campaign hat look better?)- Bob Beecher

Beaver Brand Hats Final Auction
Since I wear a size 8, I don't see lots of hats that interest me, but..... Since I didn't have a fedora in blue, and this came from the Beaver Brand auction, I picked up this nice-looking hat for less than the $50 asking price. I will have to take my own pics and post them when the hat...- Bob Beecher

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Well, after all, they ARE uniform hats. I came across the listing while looking for "Forest Service" items. It was listed as a Forest Service hat. Oddly enough, the U.S. Forest Service only authorizes a Western-style cattleman crease Stetson hat in felt or straw...or an insignia ball...- Bob Beecher

Stratton Sheriff Style Hat I just saw this and bought it... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271237247936 I got the only size 8 that he had, but there are still others in different sizes, in case anyone is looking for something like this! After checking the Stratton site and several other eBay...- Bob Beecher

Can't relate. Born in Hollywood, California. So was my dad, so even he has no stories of such things.- Bob Beecher

Looks great with that sportcoat, too! Too bad the hat doesn't come in "Extra HUGE" (my size is 8!) otherwise I'd get one. They're on sale, too, at hats-plus.com- Bob Beecher

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I would call this a VICTORY! I don't usually sell on eBay, but I got this Richman Brothers hat from another seller who advertised it as a size 8 -- my size! Of course, it turned out to be a 7-1/2. Well, I only paid $15.50 for the hat and I knew that I could turn it around for a profit. There...- Bob Beecher

I bought a Resistol Kitten Finish hat from one of our brethren and it's nice and soft and supple. The edge is very smoothly done, not just folded over as I've seen on some others. Then again, I'm still a bit new to this and have yet to gain experience.- Bob Beecher

Northern Electric Telephone
I've actually got one of these--and a whole lot more! They're fun to have around the house. My wife hates when I plug them in because there's no REDIAL feature on them. As an emergency preparedness professional, I can tell you that it's always a good idea to have a "non-powered" phone in case...- Bob Beecher

What's a wind trolley?
I read that the button goes into the little buttonhole on the back of your shirt collar. Remember those? I do! When I was growing up (in the 1960s), my shirts had a little button and buttonhole on the back of the collar. I could never figure out what that was for!- Bob Beecher

Indy Jacket
Well, I just got the "Legend" jacket from US Wings, but I don't know if my size will help you. I'm 6' 6" and weigh 240 lbs. Normally, I wear a 50XL suit/sportcoat. So, I ordered a XXL-Long and it fits very well.- Bob Beecher

I just got an old panama that has a small, ½" crack near the crown pinch. I found some fabric adhesive that my wife bought a while back. I haven't tried it yet, but it might be just the thing. It's clear and it dries clear, but stays flexible after it's dried. I figure if I apply it...- Bob Beecher
