    Mad Dogs and Englishmen (Pithy, right?)

    Well, I've landed a pair of pith helmets, off ePrey: one, hard and twill covered, Made in India; the other flexible, but formed woven straw from Churchill. The Churchill is more comfortable because it breaths and conforms better to my Long Oval noggin. Though marked 7 3/8, was afraid that the...

    Cowboy Boot Makers, a primer...add your own.

    "Top to Toe": Post Your Favorite Hat and Boots/Shoes or Apparel Combo

    I'll start out with my favorite western hat and boots combo "Whiskey and Feathers" : Churchill for Neiman Marcus "Red River" in Whiskey, with an renewed elaborate feather badge and band.

    Re-sizing Down--Plastic Wrap

    After a brush scrubbing, and some steaming, but absent any felt strips, I was looking for a quick and dirty way to absorb the oversize of 7 1/2" Long Oval of my new, free Beaver Cattleman and happened across some plastic foam packing sheets in two thicknesses. The pink mics at 2.5mm and the...

    I was prowling on Yoox.com this afternoon and ran across several patterns of Borsalino silk ties they are offering at $49. But the ones that grabbed me were the ones with Panama hats, on yellow or green--great summer ties. They also have a few odd hats and caps at this link...

    Buying Above or Below One's Hat Size: What's Re-doable?

    In this online marketplace, I am often tempted by hats that might be above or below my measured-by-machine 7 3/8 (+ 1/4 Long Oval--see my profile for my REAL profile). However, every time I get a new or used hat, in my size, the fitment variations are significant enough to make me wonder if I...

    BEWARE this 7x Clear Stetson RELIST on ePrey...Lunar Moth Damage

    Beware All, I have just returned this ePrey hat to the seller due to inadequate description. http://www.ebay.com/itm/260950469238?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Though he cites "small, scattered moth marks visible only up close. One of the more prominent moth pecks is...

    When is a Stetson a Stratton?

    I thought I'd enquire of NY State Police Headquarters PIO where they get their Stetsons cleaned, reblocked, etc., hoping I might find someone in, well, shooting distance. To my surprise, I got this response right back: "We do not service nor repair the Stetson's. They are 'recycled' back to...
