Most of the hats I find are made off shore, nowadays. They used to be made in Canada or the US. But as far as metric vs inches...either measurement they are too small.

I like ball caps that don't have an emblem. But those vintage ball caps sure are nice. Even though I don't have any allegiance to any particular team I've always liked the NY Yankees emblem the best.

Yes, very true. Not sure who decided that the wide between the seats consoles that go floor to dash and contain the shift lever (on an automatic) was a good idea, but I don't approve.
Leave the shift lever on the column and do away with the floor to dash console so I can splay my legs out to the side and drive the vehicle the way God intended men to drive.

The only fitted cap I own is size 7 3/4 and I never thought I had a big head until I had a hard time wearing a "one size fits all" cap.
I'd rather have jeans that fit my 29" inseam and 33" waist.

I wish I had a 33 inch waist...did once, but that was back in my 20's.

I agree...I used to like those big Oldsmobile's and Buick's from the '60's..they had real good elbow , shoulder, head and leg room. The optional Limited seats in a big Buick treated you like a king.

In my area there is a guy that owns one of these. It's the coolest darn thing. Painted the brightest yellow I have ever seen.
It has a water-cooled 990cc V-Twin and costs about $18,000. A lot cheaper than my Harley but I will keep my Harley tyvm. I felt like I was sitting on a metric bike, leaning forward and legs back. Not comfortable for an old guy. Besides, it sounded a bit like a lawnmower........
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

The choice is your's Gasbag. Do you want to be cool ...or comfortable  ? At our age it's hard to be ...'cool' anymore...so when the chance comes...you got to grab it with all the gusto you still can...when in your '60's.
When your in your '60's...you're never comfortable....voice of experience.
