    gimmesomeshelter... I have 5 kids... 3 girls and 2 boys ranging from 16 to 9. Since I started wearing fedoras and more specifically since I've purchased several via ebay auctions resulting in a few being slightly TOO Small (which I then give to them)... both of my sons think they're cool...

    Interesting bit of hat history

    I also find this interesting... It's a Resistol, not a Stetson.... Hmmm. I guess this would make sense in that He was a Texan... Quote: E.R. Byer sold his company in the early 1920's in Michigan and traveled south to further his fortune. He decided to invest in a hat maker named, Harry...

    How are Ribbons Attached?

    Kind of what I was wondering.... Could I do it? Could I just put a dab with a glue stick on the ribbon and hold the bow in place for a minute? Or, Do I need to find a skilled Hat Doctor to re-attach....? Obviously I don't want to deminish the quality of the hat any... Thanks for sharing...

    How are Ribbons Attached?

    I have a Borsalino that I was Steaming slightly in an effort to work out a crease near the top of the Crown. While working on it I discovered that the RIBBON is detached :rage: where the bow contacts the leading edge of the ribbon, but only at the very top. At the bottom, closest to the brim it...

    Anyone seen this bow before?

    Tony, Dusty, notice the ribbon on that 100... ... doesn't even have the cool ribbon treatment your Royal Deluxe Strats have... weird, you'd think it'd have a very nice ribbon treatment, go figure?

    Open Road

    Very Nice OR... RBH, I'd say you got a decent deal on a very very clean vintage OR. Under one crispy C note, and it's yours for years to come... as investments go, I'd say you bought low !!

    Vintage clothing on Everest

    Dang it Tony... This is the second thread I've read of yours today that's made me envious. First I see that Strat your "Lovely" bought you, and I think to myself..."that's the best Strat I've ever seen". Now I happen across this thread of yours and I see a Mallory like no other. Another Felt...

    Straw.... bug ! I've actually seen some pretty nice straws... come summer I know I'm gonna wish I "Invested" in a couple. I do already have a couple that I bought brand new that I'm pretty partial to though. I guess I just won't have the veriety that I have in felt.... unless the straw bug...

    Anyone seen this bow before?

    Dusty I don't know if you saw the thread on the Dobbs Rainbow, but since I saw the photos JP shared of his I'm very anxious to get mine... I'm a little worried it might be a tad tight, and I can't cut my hair any shorter than it is now. I need to spend some dough on home projects... the wifes...

    Anyone seen this bow before?

    Hmmm, I guess we can gather that the "Royal Deluxe" Strat ribbon treatment is different that the "Royal" Strat ribbon treatment. Tony, I know you've got more Strats than I. My one brown Royal Strat does not have that treatment... Oh Great, give me something new to desire !! Thanks a heep!
