1947 USAF - service cap info
I agree MacArthur's "Philippine Field Marshal" hat in khaki was his idea. U.S. Army General Officers did not wear any visor or braid ornamentation on the OD/brown or khaki uniform caps until the 1950s when the modern green uniform was adopted. However, they did have "scrambled eggs" and oak... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Wearing my 1940s Stetson western (embroidered liner, bound edge, etc.) again, but decided to re-crease it over the weekend. I was never happy with the center dent (I think came to me that way?). The hat finally told me it wanted to be a cattleman. I do what I'm told. Old crease. -

Texas Hatters “misty grey” western – it started life in the 1960s as Stetson 10X Rancher and TH in Lockhart revived it for me last year (clean, reblock, new ribbon, sweat, liner, etc.). -

Real USN Pre-WW-II Flight Jacket?
Some other details from the movie (which is worth watching - if nothing else, to see Red Skelton in a somewhat dramatic role as a Navy pilot - shown at left in the first pic above): The jacket (with sewn on nametag) in the first photo is the one Robert Taylor's character wears when flying to...- TPD166

Real USN Pre-WW-II Flight Jacket?
Watched the movie “Flight Command” (1940) over the weekend and expected to see lots of 37J1/A-1 jackets, but saw none. But the jacket the flyers wore was one I’d never seen before and wondered if it was an actual USN flight jacket or one created by costumers – it has a very wide knit waistband...- TPD166
