    Fedora without a suit advice

    I've seen plenty of pictures from the 30's, 40's and 50's of people wearing fedoras with the casual wear of the time. Some of them posted on these boards. Why should today be any different? Leo

    Keeping stuff in your pockets

    I looked and didn't reply, because I don't have an answer for you. I'm still working on that one myself. Leo

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Thanks. That's what I thought. Never could understand the people who are all about how far and how fast. For me, it kind of defeats the purpose of being in the wild. To each his own. Leo

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Just curious, could you define what you mean by "serious-minded outdoors types"? I think I know where you're coming from, but wanted to check. Natural fibers aren't going to die off any time soon. Especially for colder weather pursuits. There are still plenty of people who swear by wool and...

    A cool, classic knife

    Nice knife. I love the camp/scout type knife. The four blade versions, like your Kamp-King, are my favorite, though I do have a six blade Super Kamp-King that I'm fond of. In addition to the spear, awl, can opener and bottle opener/screwdriver blades it has a pen and beverage opener blades. I...

    Somebody Wasn't Loved Enough

    What's a hipster? I must be even more out of touch with the modern world than I thought. Leo

    How the classy hunter goes afield...

    DEET: The 1880's way Three Ounces Pine Tar Two Ounces Castor Oil One Ounce Pennyroyal Oil Simmer all together over a slow fire and bottle for use. Rub it in thoroughly and liberally at first and after you have established a good glaze, a little replenishing from day to day will be...

    The Mummy clothes

    I always thought the wrist bracers were for suport too. They can help a lot. It was not uncommon for blacksmiths to wear something similar. Any repetive action involving the hands/wrists can cause damage over time and I'd say that his character used those pistols enough for that to be an issue...

    Name The Last Time There Was So Much Naked

    I think part of the problem is the lack of options. Wether it was the industry responding to the demands of the public, or the public bowing to the indusrty dosen't matter at this point. If you fall outside a certain range of sizes, your options are limited. Take me for instance. I have a 52"...

    Beaver Brand?

    I have a Beaver Brand hat I fond in a thrift store. The hat band and sweat band were both imitation leather. the sweat band was sewed in with some god aful thread that looked just like monofiliment. The hat was also a 7 1/8. I'm a 7 5/8. Got to try my hand at stretching and reblocking a hat...

    Goatee anyone?

    I disagree. The goatee area is the most anoying for me to shave and takes the longest. Cheeks and neck are quick and easy. I used to have a goatee for that reason. Leo

    Rotary Dial Cellphone? Fact and Fiction

    That really does depend on location. I've had great luck with TMobile from KC to PA. But, having worked for them, I know that they have (or at least had) LOTS of trouble in CA. The best thing to do is talk to as many people with as many diferent providers as you can. And as a general rule...

    suit time period

    You can include the 60s through today as well. Its true that fedoras were much more common in the 20s - 50s, but they never actualy went away. They just became much less fashionable. Its not as if we were talking about Bascinets or Salades. All that to say that Wildroot is right and you...

    Five that are Seriously Overrated...

    Have to agree with LotR. Jackson did horrible things to that story. Still havent been able to bring myself to watch the last one yet. Rented once, but just couldn't do it. Jackson should be flogged just for what he did to Strider. I agree with "The Maltese Falcon" as well. Don't get me...

    Would you like the fedora and related hats to become main stream fashion

    I voted yes. I think it would be nice to see more decent hats out there. To me, the look is much more pleasing to the eye than what passes for fashion today. Really couldn't care less about being diferent. Or fitting in. I am me. I'm not trying to be anybody and god help anyone who wants to be...

    Women with Muscles

    It depends. Some women look good with some muscle. Just like some women look better with some padding and others look better thin. Body building women are diferent. Don't like them. But then, I don't think most male body builders look all that great either. Body building has gotten way out of...

    The Populace Really Can't be this Stupid

    Yep, people are that stupid. I used to work in a TMobile call center. I lost track of the number of times I had to explain to people that, yes, your phone has to be turned on to make and/or recieve calls. Then there was the MRI technician (she was the one who actualy operated the MRI machine)...
