  1.   Doglocks were noted from the 1690's to the GOAP era and survived into the Revolutionary War. In fact, they were used by the Swede's and Norwegians in the late 1700's on numerous pattern muskets and pistols (The Rifle Shoppe Catalog details several examples).

    Yours, Mike

    I'll agree..

  2. I live in California mine have no holes in the bottom and I have no problems.

    Then again, I don't carry them into the bank or through a parade.

    FYI. It's a felony in California to SELL a "SURPLUS" grenade without rendering it non operable.

  3. When you order a JT blank, call em and request a wider brim be sent to you, they will be very helpful.. The last blanks I ordered had very wide brims and I never trim. You can stretch the brim as well by soaking JUST half of the brim in warm soapy water and then tugging on it. Be careful not to thin the felt too much and don't stretch the crown. Once the brims stretched, rinse the soapy water away from the crown. The felt will wick so keep the water 2 or 3 inches away from the crown.. Once you shape your hat, spray it down with regular armour all blow drying in between coats...Your hat will be so stiff it will feel like it's gonna break off. This is how I do my hats.

  4. I mean when you get the capeline, it will be a flat piece of felt....like a pancake..... :lol: You'll have to use a hat block and block the hat where your head will go...and size it as well.

    As long as you own a hat block in your size it will be easy. If you don't have the hat blocking equipment, you'll have to be creative....but you'll still have to make it fit your head no matter what your using to block it.......thats the hard part.. Jas Town buys their capelines from Hatsupply and then blocks and sizes them....the wool felt blanks you see on the JT site for $20, that's them!!

  5. A Jewish attorney loses his mother and has to put his elderly father in a convalescent home. His father puts up quite a fight but in the end agrees its for the best.

    A few monthes later, he comes back to check on his dad.

    He tells his father, "Dad, I've decided to take you back home with me and take care of you"

    The father replies, "No way! I love it here. The people here have such a great sense of humor! I laugh all day! My roomate, has glasses 2 inches thick and they call him Eagle eyes! The guy down the hall uses a walker and they call him Speedy! And me, your father......I haven't had sex in 25 years and they call me the Fucking Jew! :P
