Possible to identify this A-2?
A couple of detail shots: Weird color/structure on that lining dontcha think? I've only had a 80's cut Avirex A-2 with hand warmer pockets before this one so I'm really not sure what to look for... but to me this one look like an A-2 supposed to. [huh] Size 150, as far as I can...- Flieger

Brown Doctor Who / Das Boot look-alike
The jacket arrived yesterday and I spent last night treating it with SkinnFix to get some softness back into the leather. Today I took some photos. This is how Flieger will dress this fall: lol And a more casual shot: As it turned out, this jacket wasn't the U-Boot-clone I...- Flieger

Possible to identify this A-2?
Just found this for sale here in Sweden. The seller asks $65 for it but he knows nothing about it. He just says "it's an original" and "goat". [huh] I've asked for more photos. Avirex or Schott maybe? I guess I'm asking: Would you pay $65 for it? Should I? Cheers /Flieger- Flieger

Film clip: 1949 Panama hats made in Equador
Hi all! When I ordered my Pachacuti from the Swedish importer I found a link to a film clip made in 1949 about Montecristo hat making. It has some interesting photage... the downside is that it's narrated in Swedish... :( Anyway, HungaryTom convinced me to post the URL here on FL... -

"Eichap" hats?
Took the plunge I took a gamble and bid for this size 61/UK7¬? EICHAP black fedora in DLQ (De Lux Quality). Didn't have any black lid in my collection and it was in my size so I figured 'what the heck'. I won it pretty cheep. ($15) The exterior look a mess with all that dust and brutal... -

My 1st Attempt At a Hat Rack.....
Nice rack! ... ehh... :eusa_doh: lol Love the design. How did you get the holes for the dowel at precise angles like that? I'm sure there's a simple answer to that but I'm not much of a carpenter myself. -
How did you find the lounge?
The Fedora Lounge kept popping up whenever I did a Google search on fedora hats and vintage leather jackets... it took a while but then I got the message: No need to look any further! :p- Flieger

Brown Doctor Who / Das Boot look-alike
This happy camper just won another leather jacket! I've been wanting a jacket like this one for quite a while but not having the money to spend on a Wested I had to look for something among the online auctions. This is what I found: I know it's not an exact replica of the U-Boot jacket...- Flieger

My first Panama: Pachacuti Brisa Fine 08
SMCK, you are welcome! I'm glad you like your Pachacuti and I'm sure we all would like to see a snap of you wearing it. About grades: I know little to nothing about this but I've counted the weaves on my Brisa Fine and came up with a 250-300 weaves per inch, depending on where I count...
