    Forgot my hat...

    For the first time in at least 6 years I left my house today without a hat or cap. I didn't realize it until I was about 15 miles from home, stopping for breakfast and reached for a hat that wasn't there. :eusa_doh: It feels weird. :eeek: Cheers, Tom

    Woman is 101 years old, still drives 81 year old Packard

    I received an e-mail with the link to this video about a woman in Plymouth, MI who at 101 still drives her Packard 740 Roadster. My favorite line at the end is her answer to the question "Have you lived in Plymouth all your life?" There's an article about her as well. Enjoy! Tom

    I was running a search on the site using Google when I stumbled across the media kit for Classic Style magazine. The kit mentions having a focus group of over 3,000 members (the Lounge) that serves as "a continuous source of subscribers and demographic information." When I considered that the...

    Another list of old professions making a comeback

    I thought I'd share this list of old professions making a comeback. It's another one of those slide-show type of things that various news websites like to post. Amazingly, hatter is not one of them! :eusa_doh: Cheers, Tom

    The Pan Am Hat by Lee -- Has anyone seen one?

    Last year I picked up a Lee hatbox that once held "The Pan Am Hat by Lee". Has anyone seen or heard of such a hat? Here's one photo of the box. I'll post it and a few more in the hat box thread. I found an a Lee that someone else posted elsewhere (vague, huh? I'm not sure what thread...

    Hats in the Comics--

    I'm a long-time fan of Jimmy Johnson's comic strip "Arlo and Janis" so I was delighted (even if Arlo apparently isn't) that Arlo received a late Christmas gift in the form of a fedora. Enjoy! Tom

    Dobbs Unusual style from 1918

    For fans of the unusual, here's a Dobbs that I won recently. It's not something that I could see myself wearing (what would I wear it with would be a big question) but my wife has decided that it'll be her hat and will be looking for the right outfit to wear under it. I have no idea what this...

    For gtdean: Stacks O' Hats!

    The other day in the Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon thread gtdean commented that he was going to use my comment about not remembering what all hats I had bought when his wife complains about all his hats. I light-heartedly offered to take photos for him to show his wife, and he accepted. It...

    Hats on TV

    Hats in current TV shows Last night I watched the latest Law and Order: Criminal Intent. The murder victim, a gossip columnist, was a young man who wore a fedora, wore a suit and what looked like 50s-era glasses, and used an old Remington instead of a computer to type his columns. After he's...

    Well, it's finally up for sale, listed on eBay here. Originally I had planned to list it here first, but decided to roll the dice instead in hopes of getting one of those outrageous prices for it. :D Of course, with the unpredictability of eBay it could go the other way, and someone...

    And now for something slightly different--a double-bound edge

    I won a hat from Sussex Hats in New York a while back. I told Dinerman and Art I'd post photos and describe it a bit, so here it is... better late than never! ;) It has a two-toned edge binding and ribbon. The effect is done using two different-colored ribbons. As you can see, it's...

    Why the Indiana Jones hat?

    For some reason this morning I started wondering about why the Indiana Jones hat was the one that got a lot of people interested in wearing hats again back in the '80s, and why it's expected to cause another hat-wearing fad after the next movie comes out. Any movie set in the '50s or earlier...

    What am I missing here?

    I've been watching hat auctions on ebay as many of us do to keep an eye on prices and such. Today two auctions from the same seller ended with prices that had my jaw hitting the keyboard. Though nice hats, I'm at a loss as to why these hats final prices went so high. The first one is a Knox...
