    What is the best way to hang a hat?

    I have been digging thru the site, and it seems like those who have the best set ups to store & hand their hat, never seem to show WHAT they are hanging them on. When I re-did my office last week, I added a pair of large brass coat/hat hooks, but my hats seem to not sit flat, but tilted out...

    My new Stetson came in..

    What do you think? This is the $12.50 Stetson Catera"Gun Club" I won on e-bay last week. I really like the color, but I think the brim needs some work still. I had to flip the front down as it was flipped up, and the rear has an up-turn which I don't mind too much as I can wear it in my Jeep...

    Your opinion wanted

    So I bought this desk lamp, it's quite old, but some one gave it a poor paint job. I have the ability to sandblast it and either re-paint it or powder coat it. I am thinking a semi-gloss black powder coat, but I could also powder coat it with a black wrinkle finish. I have more powder, but...

    Oh yea... I think I just got a score!

    While watching in the last minutes, I was sure this hat would go higher. I just bought a Stetson "Gun Club" as recomended by a lounger. I won the hat for $13.50 ($25.00 total shipped) :D http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260374959225 What do you think? Did I miss...

    Need ideas for hidden switches.

    Ok, all the mystery and sci-fi buffs out there, I have a mission for you! I am working on something that will require a pair of momentary switches.(contacts of some sort to complete a path will do) These are relay voltage, and in the 500 mA range and will be wires with phone cable with a...

    Well, what do you think? Does it work?

    Well, I received my hat today and I like the look, although it is a hair big. It's a Dorfman-Pacific and the website listed a large for 7-1/8", but I think a med would be a much better fit. I may try to re-sell this one and order a new one from REI. I added a some felt to get a fit, but even...

    Feathers? Why are they there...

    Is there a meaning behind the feathers added in the band of some caps? Does this come from the old adage "A feather in your cap" for good luck maybe? What is the feeling towards removing feathers from hats, is this a very improper thing to do? My curious mind wants to know!

    I did it... I bought a hat.

    Well I found one that I liked today and I hope it fits good. I am a 7 1/8" and from what I can find on line, that is a large size for this Dorfman-Pacific hat. Well, here it is... I hope I like it, I paid $35 shipped of e-bay, I do like the color and style so we shall see if it fits me and...

    Hat newbie searching for a top.

    Well, after lurking for a little while, I just had to post up and ask for advise. I want to buy a fedora but need some guidance. Personally, I seem to like something with a med. width brim, and a narrow band. Something conservative, and not wild or large, yet not a derby type hat either. I do...
