    The Hat is Back

    Welcome Bruno! Heck, I took one of my Stetson cowboy hats that I didn't wear anymore anhad it converted into a teardrop fedora. I plan on doing the same thing to my Resistol in the near future. It's rather enjoyable to take a hat that hasn't been worn in ages and convert it into something you...

    Looking for hat information?

    The hat I'm wearing in the picture is my Stetson Whippet. It's a light silver tan now but under the ribbon where is hadn't faded by the sun is a grey with a slight pink tone to it. The sweat band was all rotted out. The e-bay pictures showed some wear to the sweat, and when I got it in the mail...

    Looking for hat information?

    Door, Don't lose hope! It took me some time and very diligent searches to find what I was looking for. This forum was a huge help in finding what I wanted as well. Never be afraid to get a beater as well. If the felt is in good shape and the fit is close that's all you will need for a good...

    Partisan, Pesant, Revolutionary Cap??

    I think I may have found what they are currently called. It is either a Fiddler Cap, a Euro Cap or a Spitfire Cap. I have seen a few that are interesting at places like Hats in the Belfry & Village Hat Shop, but I think I'll keep searching fot that just right one. A mix of wool with a leather...

    Partisan, Pesant, Revolutionary Cap??

    Hello Folks, This may have been covered before but can't seem to find any info on this particular cap. I've seen it in photos in books about WWII where either French, German, Polish, Russian & even Greeks are wearing this hat. Molstly civilians though. It looks similar to a Greek fishermans...

    WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps

    I had to make do I know my impression isn't spot on but this was a bit of a rush job. I had to use my Marine Corps manual (yes I still have mine from the 80's) for collar devise placement. So they were more in line with my E-5 stripes than anything else. Sorry gents.;) Also. I'm missing my...

    WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps

    Crusher Cap Images Sorry the images are a tad late. But like they say, better late than never. These were taken on Halloween. The crusher cap came from the very kind offerings of silhouette53.

    Fighter Squadron/Group question...

    In the image below from the movie Pearl Harbor there is a patch on Josh Hartnett's jacket. Does anyone have an idea of what the fighter group or squadron is for that patch? Also would you have a better image of the patch? It's also on the jacket of the actor on the right in this image...

    What sort of flight jacket weather are you having these days..?

    It has finally gotten cold enough here on the Central Coast area that I may need the F-1 "Blue Bunny" heated suit under the clothes in the mornings.;) Ok, maybe the F-2 heated coat under the Wested Raider just to take the chill off. Cheers! Dan

    The A-2 from flightjacket.com & Aero Leather edward-bay store?

    I went with the Better Customer Service... Well after much consideration I think I will go with the U.S. Authentic A-2. Shaul Dover has been Johnny-on-the-spot with all of my e-mails and has answered all of my questions (and there were a lot) both great & small. There was no initial response...
