Your Favorite Sandwiches?
Hard to choose a favorite as I love sandwiches and would be very happy to live on them. 1.- Fresh picked beefsteak tomato from my garden, Hellman's Mayo, and salt on white bread. 2.- Taylor ham, mayo on fresh hard roll. (First had these in late 60's at a deli in River Edge, NJ.) 3.- Pulled pork...- mikey517

AMC's "Hell On Wheels"

"Detectives Guide to Wearing Fedoras on the Case"
That's a great story, Chief. I'm too new here to hijack a thread, and I retired only as a Detective Sergeant, but I'll bet if one of the "Senior Officers" here started a "Detective's War Story" thread.....we could fill it with laughs a-plenty! -
"Detectives Guide to Wearing Fedoras on the Case"
I was a Detective and Detective Supervisor from 1983 until I retired in 2001. Never wore a fedora, but always wore suits and ties. Wish I had gotten into fedoras back then. When I became a Sergeant, I made sure my guys responded to any call out in a jacket & tie, regardless of the hour. An old... -

Jaxon Iconoclast
I hope someone can help me with some information. I've read descriptions of the Iconoclast, and know it has a 2 5/8 brim, but can someone tell me the height of the crown? I remember someone on this board passed on it because the crown was too low? Seems like a great price for a fur felt... -

Public Enemies
I saw it at the 10:30 AM showing in Middletown, NY. There was a decent sized audience for a Wednesday morning. I enjoyed the movie, but I think I was expecting a bit more. It was beautifully filmed....captured the texture of the times...but there were some liberties taken with the history...- mikey517

Banjo Paterson musings
I purchased a fawn Banjo in April. It's my first "real" hat so to speak, and it seems to be the one that ends up on my head each morning as I leave he house for work....regardless of which hat I think I'm reaching for!! It gets softer and better fitting each day with normal wear... -

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I know I'm rather new here, but my wife and I liked Australia. Bought our own copy, actually... Last movie watched was Curious Case of Benjamin Button when we bought the BluRay. Really love that movie. What did everyone think of Doubt?.....- mikey517

Show us your Guns!
It's the 23. The Glock 22 was our issued uniform sidearm, and I left uniforms behind in 1981 'till I retired in 2001. I qualify twice a year with it to keep my RPO carry privilege active, and I've never had any problem with it. Easy gun to shoot, too. We went from S&W .38's (1975) to Sig...- mikey517

How did you find the lounge?
I bought a Tilley last summer and wore it just about everyday while on a boat or in a kayak. Liked wearing a hat better than a baseball cap. When the weather turned cold, I bought a Dorfman Pacific Indiana Jones fedora...NOT to be Indy, but the price and style was right for me to see if I even...- mikey517

Need a summer hat recommendation
Being rather new to the world of hats, and the the forum as well, I hope I'm not out of line here..but... Sunbody seems to have some nice panama hats in your price range. There's a whole thread about them somewhere here. I just received the 2 1/2 FIne Palm teardrop and am very pleased with... -

The smileface on Glock got the attention of a humorless Lieutenant. The instrument is a Martin "Backpacker"...a somewhat unique travel guitar.- mikey517
