    I'm new here

    I was also once a high school teacher in another state and in another century. In the first Film Making class I taught, two of my students completed their films. One student wound up in the Ohio State Penitentiary and the other won an Academy Award. Since I joined the Lounge, my hat...

    First Leather Jacket

    My first leather jacket was a rust-colored suede fringed Davy Crockett in 1956... My mom was always giving away my favorite stuff to my younger relatives, so one day it just disappeared from my closet. However, during the Summer of Peace and Love (1968) I was able to locate a suitable...

    Post New Hats Here!

    My new Open Road - Halloween Edition I acquired a new Open Road in Silverbelly a while back, but never got around to wearing it. That Swoop on the down turned brim which is so popular around the Lounge doesn't seem to work for me. So while watching The Duke in Fort Apache on TCM last week...

    Good price?

    What you need to do is to find out the lowest price for the hat if purchased new, and then don't pay more than that figure. Have you called the Hatco outlet store? Phone (972) 494-0337. If you tell them what you are looking for, they can usually help you out. Ask for David.

    Your 2nd favourite flight jacket

    My favorite jacket is an A-2, but last week I wore my venerable old ANJ-3. The interior pockets were so useful for things like wallet and cel phone that I decided that my next jacket would be the F-82 Flight Jacket from G & B which combines the best features of both models.

    Stitching

    A leather craftsman will use both glue (usually Barge Cement) and various kinds of stitching when and where each is appropriate. Sometimes one is used to reinforce the other.

    Aaargh! Buttons not properly applied....again

    Sadly, the buttons on many garments are only sewn on well enough for the customer to get them out the door.

    What goes with your A2?

    You can't go wrong with an off-white turtleneck sweater, either an Aran wool or a simple one.

    Best all-around G-1 jacket source

    The US NAVY's Top Gun school at Miramar either is or was right over the hill from Gibson and Barnes in San Diego. So that seems like the most logical source for these jackets when the USN pilots are in a hurry to get one. The G&B jacket:
