    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    I tend to use a North Face messenger bag or a day sack when I'm carrying more stuff but otherwise I tend to go with an old British gas mask bag in the style of a certain Dr Jones.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I understand that Steve is still making hats but the backlog of orders is lengthy in the extreme. I couldn't pass on the opportunity when I saw it and the beaver moulds beautifully in the hand.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Despite being pretty expensive at £285 I still think of this as something of a win on ebay. A Steve Delk pure beaver handmade. The hat I really wanted when I put in the order for an Akubra a couple of years ago. Annoying thing is that I never expected to ever get one of these so bought a...

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    Agreed, I use a Mk VII gas mask bag as my travel bag for all those small essentials such as iPod, reading glasses, sunglasses, tissues and iPad.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Nothing on the band, which isn't even leather, and the liner doesn't have a makers name it just says "finest quality best manufacture" around a rampant lion. No idea what it is. Most likely wool felt I expect but will make a good hat for an old time prospector type of outfit with red one piece...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    My third Borsalino to go with my vintage one and my traveller. A modern wide brim in black for only £60!

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I have two recent additions from ebay, a Borsalino which I have posted in the brotherhood thread, and this strange thing which was listed as a Stetson but clearly isn't. No idea what it is but since it was bought as a curiosity it will do fine for fancy dress occasions. It has a narrow ribbon...

    Penman Hats

    I was taxed on my Akubra as well when that came unfortunately. For the Everyman I ended up paying £48 in taxes and handling fees. As far as the hat goes I am very pleased with the fit, perfect straight from the box. Not so pleased with the box itself as it came somewhat crushed. Akubra win...

    Penman Hats

    I hear my Everyman Raiders is waiting for me at the mail office with a £48 tax and handling bill. I hate taxes! Home on Saturday and really looking forward to opening the box! Question now is when does the Everyman Indy travel hat come on line?

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm a little excited. I get home on Saturday and should have my Penman Everyman Raiders waiting for me. I should also have a Borsalino black fedora and a Stetson of some type waiting for me too. The Stetson was an impulse bid on flea bay but comes in at about £10. Be interesting to see what...

    Cane

    From what I can see I would say silver hallmarked in London but the year I can't figure out.

    That is nice. I have one of their Silverstone re-editions, a great looking piece.

    9mm or 45cal

    If you are already employed as an armed security operator then the companies will keep their guys current to comply with industry standards. For the guys entering the industry they are paying for all of their training themselves to even get an opportunity to submit a CV. For them it can be a...

    Red Wing Boot Instep Question

    I am starting to think I might wait a while until I visit the states in May. First time! I am doing a Route 66 tour on the western end taking wounded British soldiers as pillions. Wanted to do it for a few years so now was the time to do it. If I am lucky I will get the chance to pick up a...

    When you have to pay for it yourself it can be a problem. Companies are cutting costs so not many will provide the training so it comes down to the individual paying for it.

    WWII Khaki Officer Crusher Cap by Society Brand

    It's a beauty! I really do fancy one of those.

    9mm or 45cal

    Basically you can't have a weapon on you or in your car except to go to a range or to take it to a gunsmith. Auto and semi auto weapons are illegal now and I think pump action shotguns are allowed to hold three cartridges. Basically I think we had two separate serious shooting incidents by...
