    What a deal

    Thanks for the heads up! I ordered one as well. Even with the extra $9.99 charge for overseas delivery, it's a nice deal. /F

    What Started It All

    For me it was back in the mid-80's... when everyone else where wearing pastell-colored jackets with rolled up sleeves and short suit jackets, me and my buddy raided our grand-/parents clothes in storage and found cool jackets, shirts and coats from 1940-60's. We added cheep wool fedoras and felt...

    "Eichap" hats?

    Thanks guys! Always nice to hear that the new lid does not make me look like a complete dork. :) The hat was actually about ¬?-size too big but a couple of 1/8 cork strips took care of that little problem BT: Nope, I can't say I know of that shop but It's been ages since I visited Stockholm...

    "Eichap" hats?

    Black as night Well, today I got my Eichap in the mail and I was happily surprised to find such a minimum worn, perfectly black, decent quality fedora. I wish I knew more about this hat company because I wouldn't mind having this hat in a couple of other colors as well. Brim is bound -...

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I'm glad it was something you hadn't already read. I like the look of the WPG "Irvin" and I'm thinking of getting one for the coming winter. Don't know why I haven't already - I've been an aviation buff for all my live and I live in a country where I could wear a jacket like that for 8 months...

    1943 Swedish Army boot

    Ask me again in a couple of days. They where swamped right now. [huh] Living in the age of the digital camera, I'll post photos as soon as I get them back. :) Thinking about it, I'm sure I could have glued the soles on myself and saved me both time and money... oh, well. :o Flieger
