    The Cap Faction

    Very nice Greg. You have a great collection of caps to be sure. Ok, found the liner fabrics today. The regular cotton lining will be in what I would call an insignia red. Should go well with the od HBT. The other is a grey & red plaid flannel. For winter wear of course. Here is a sample. Now...

    The Cap Faction

    Oddly enough I had run across an article about aircraft mechanics caps. The ones that stood out were noted as the A-1 & A-2 mechanics caps. Unfortunately I did bookmark the article. They were supposed to pre date the A3 HBT ball cap military mechanics cap. They looked like a newsboy cap. The A-1...

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    Well, The Magicians Apprentice and The Witches Familiar. Parts 1 & 2 of the Season 9 opener. Quite an interesting way to start the season. They still ask more questions than they answer. I'm liking Missy more and more. Hope she stays around a while. I'm interested how they're gong to take the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Doctor Who - The Witch's Familiar; Was a good part tow to the season starter. It'll make you think twice about going near a sewer, ancient or modern. Doctor Who - Genesis of the Daleks. Classic Tom Baker Doctor. Had been catching up on So You Think You Can Dance. Dang, those dancers are...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Union Gin (Dogwood Distillery) out of Oregon with Fever Tree tonic. It puts all other gins to shame. Cheers! Dan

    I wouldn't. Wood you?

    It is interesting, and sort of aerodynamic looking. I'm sure that wooden brim could get some lift on a breezy day. A functional Art piece to be sure. I'm sure we'll see some celebrity out there wearing one some day. A fascinating conversation piece, but sorry, not for my noggin. Is rater pretty...

    Tanker vs. N1 Deck Jacket

    I have the ATF M41 field coat and have bee more than happy with it. I'm sure the tanker jacket from them will be just as good. WWII Impressions also carries the tanker jacket. Does anybody have any experience with their gear? Is it quality gear? Of course, not historically accurate, but if...

    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    Well, with a very beer pocket book I cannot afford the champaign versions of the N1 Deck Jacket. So, any of the high end/high price versions are out the door. Would love to have a BR or the like. So, I've been luring and studying the old inter web for an option that I can afford. There is one I...

    M-65 Field Jacket

    I had an M65 field coat with the button in quilted liner back in high school. Paid all of $15 for it, and thought it was expensive. Eventually got the lined winter hood for it and wore that sucker into the ground. Served me well in rain, snow and freezing conditions. Couldn't have asked for a...

    The Cap Faction

    I'm rather excited too. It'll be something unique, and I always dig on something custom crafted. The fabric I have was something that my Mother had collected eons ago to make flannel shirts for my Dad. That fabric is now about 35 years old itself. So, semi vintage married to vintage. A tie to...

    The Cap Faction

    Thanks Bob! I have decide to go a different route. I was in conversation with Brett at B!Wear, and he is game to the idea of working on this project in making a custom cap. So what I have done is gone on e-bay and did a search. I was looking for a WWII HBT shirt. one that, as a wearable garment...

    The Cap Faction

    Man! There have been some wonderful looking caps here recently. Many out of reach for me financially right now, but some day soon I'll throw down for a few myself. Currently I have been on the hunt for a Gatsby cap in an olive drab herringbone twill. The sane kind of twill one would have seen in...
