Small Cache of Beaver Brand Hats FOUND
Gents, I just got a call from a local, telling me that he has some NOS Beaver Brand "Classic" Hats sitting in a warehouse here in town. Apparently in Tan, Brown and Black. Just thought I would let it be known on here and gauge the interest of others before I make the guy an offer on the lot...- DiamondDave

Boyo, Thanks for the comments... Although I will say that I think that the pocket problem is actually an optical illusion, due to the fact that the jacket is indeed a 48 and the mannequin is a true size 42, it seems to make the pockets look larger, since the jacket wraps so far around its body...- DiamondDave

Gents, Here is the next iteration of this "new classic" jacket... I am still thinking of calling it the "Hyklas" jacket... Following the last post, the pattern has been tightened up (Taking into account many suggestions from the "Lounger" community). Front of the jacket now has a much more...- DiamondDave

Jerky Horse
Gents....another misnomer here...ALL Horsehide is FQHH! Front Quarter was a name used in the past in an attempt to make it sound special. All HH's are actually the front 3/4 of the horse, from the rump forward to the neck and some leg. Oft times these are delivered to us as "splits", which are...- DiamondDave

Oh yes, neglected to mention the buttons.... well I am of two minds on this one. Two buttons at the bottom are very difficult to "do up" though I agree that the look is "cleaner" and more cohesive. That said though, I know that once the button holes relax with use this may be moot. I will...- DiamondDave

Sloan, MAN! This has really been informative!! I must say that I am thrilled to see all of the feedback. So, that said, the pattern is being re-drafted to take into account some of the things that have been said, but of course, you cannot please all of the people, all of the time, SO not ALL of...- DiamondDave

Gents, Thanks for the comments. I too think the collar could be a little larger, but on this first one, went for a snug fit at the neck and this is the result. I have also discovered that I think that I want to "Blunt" the bottom edge slightly as it comes to too severe of a point. Also, the...- DiamondDave

An alternate Aeromarine??
Took the liberty of making up something similar to the Photoshopped version... NOT A SALES PITCH!! Though I am a vendor, I am also a jacket lover so please do not get confused. DD This is my version, supposedly by Security Aviation Togs... that I am calling the "Hyklas" jacket.- DiamondDave
