New Safari Party
Ah! Lovely. I do something similar on my spread in the West Chilcotin. When the fit takes me I go on a long stalk and then I generally bag the beasts with either my 1869 or my 1873 Rolling Blocks. Successful 'hunts' are quickly followed by cold champagne served up by my gun bearer. (It's...- harbilly

Your Hat Likes it Rough
I like to hang 'em at places but if not..well....... I pick them up by the crease, wear them in the snow and rain and abuse the heck out of them - if at the time I am abusing my shoes, coat and everything else. I have many hats hoping that a lifetime supply hangs in my hall. What wears out... -

The Death (and rebirth!) of a Stetson Open Road
I also thought 'oh no' until I saw the pics. On you, perfect choice. On me, the original would be better. Congrats on your wise decision. Cheap at twice the price. -
Do you own a Tux?
Back to the shoes (great tux, by the way) Here's a sales tip: few gentlemen will leave the decent shoes or watch at home when out shopping. They may 'dress down' to fool you but just glance at their shoes and you know who you are dealing with. More than one fellow trying to get a yacht for a... -
Do you own a Tux?
Hmmm. Since this thread was a 'who owns a tux' thing: I do. I have 4 tuxedos. All are peaked. 1. Run of the mill black tux. Good for anything. 2. White Tie get up (tailcoat etc) in midnight blue for horribly awful evening events where common formal wear is not on the menu. 3. Morning... -
How can you tell the difference between rabbit and beaver felt?
I know on my hats, and on my Grandfather's hats, that when a hat was made of the beaver the company printed it on the band or lining because it was a marketing point. Maybe some high end hats didn't bother because, of course, 'good hats are.......' might have been their mantra. I have no modern... -

Hats at the Restaurant
Woodfluter: I kept finding myself going back to your last post. And going back and going back. I didn't know why. Now I do. I really like the buttons!!! I have changed out he buttons on more than one coat myself but never gone quite so bold. Perhaps your jacket came that way, lucky!!:) I... -
Hats at the Restaurant
As far as eateries go, I only keep my hat on when seated at a diner counter. I know a lot of the rules (yes, I own the books), and when I break them I know I am breaking them. This is my strength, and, perhaps, my downfall. But, nevertheless, diner counters only. I agree with all the ball cap... -

jpbales: I bet you lost the battle with friends already. ie: You wear a hat. You're weird. This may be already decided. I would put money on this. The hanky, well, to each his own. I think i would toss it down in a rumpled partially folded over careless way and drop my hat on it if I chose to... -

Belegnole: that hanky info is brilliant. Useful, practical and brilliant. What else did the old boys know that we may have lost??? I'm adopting that right now. Kudos for sharing. Makes a hazmat portable expanding and collapsible hat storage device redundant. -

Yes univibe88. I did make it. Necessity is the mother...... It's easy, takes no room hardly in the pocket. Gives you freedom of action when needed.:D -
Hats at the Restaurant
No worries Dumbjaw. Sometimes I leave my hat in the car even! Shame on me, I know. Once I managed to ring toss it on to a bottle behind the bar. Good laugh for all. They knew me there and suggested mildly I purchase the entire bottle so that the other customers could see health regulations being... -
Hats at the Restaurant
Dumbjaw, I don't disagree. I never said ANYTHING however about asking any place of business to do anything to accommodate me (though by implication I suppose I do just that if I ask for eggs 'sunnyside up' or something 'medium rare' but that is entirely different and what they expect of us... -
