Earbags - Now I can wear my hat/cap through the winter!
And you looks smashing in them, Dean! :eusa_clap Me, however, can't really pull that ear-flap-cap style off. The Earbags may also make me look like a dork, but at least I'm a dork with toasty ears. lol /F -
Earbags - Now I can wear my hat/cap through the winter!
Here we go! As promised - A couple of snaps of me wearing the Earbags. :) I've worn them almost every day since I got them and I've felt no need to go back to the knitted winter caps. Two thumbs up! /F -
Earbags - Now I can wear my hat/cap through the winter!
Ehhh... sorry about that Speedster. This thread was not getting much attention so I figured people wasn't that cold around their ears (or interested). :) I'll get a couple of snaps this evening. /F -
Custom-made hat block - Dummy head
Thank you fatwoul! OK, "hatrest" is a better term I agree! I have considered the plastic "hatshapers" but even if they are the simpler solution here, I prefer to have one in wood made to my exact shape. I also prefer wood as it's a living material compared to plastic. As for the price, I suspect... -
Custom-made hat block - Dummy head
Wow! This is why I like the Lounge so much! Thanks for the reply RBH! Not in a million years would I have thought about using calipers! My own idea have been circling around making a mould of the top of my head in plaster and taking my mesurements from that one in some way. :eusa_doh: /F -

Custom-made hat block - Dummy head
Last weekend we threw a early Christmas party for my family and I got to talking to my nephew who carpentry teacher. He was willing to make me a hat block/dummy head exactly the size of my thick skull (the word "dummy is so appropriate here :)) but I thought I'd run the idea past the good people... -

Earbags - Now I can wear my hat/cap through the winter!
Winters here in Sweden can really kill all the fun of wearing hats and caps for up to 6 months/year. :( So I've been on the lookout for a solution to the problem - Knitted headwear is NOT an option for me. Then, a couple of weeks ago I came across the "Earbags" site and I decided to order a... -

Newsboy-type caps - Randolph AFB 1938-40 *photos*
From a fellow aviation historian I came across these photos showing USAAC personel servicing BT-14 trainers at Randolph AFB somewhere between 1938-40. Boy, those caps are soooo stylish! Does anyone have a clue as to the color of them? OK, they are dirty in most shots, but what color did they... -

Hello Farad, Here in Sweden moose (or "Älg" as we call it) is pretty common. A quick browse turned these photos up: Sorry, but both sites I found where Swedish only. Hope it helps. Flieger- Flieger

New vintage overcoat - But how old?
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I had anything to show here on the forum, but last monday I found this coat at my local thrift store. Problem is I can't date it. The lable is "Tiger", now known as "Tiger of Sweden". They have been around since 1903 (according to Wikipedia) but of course...- Flieger
