Humphrey Bogart Hat Question
The reason for asking (I told you it was a little boring) is when people ask if my dark grey fedora is my Indiana Jones hat (and you all know we get that question with any brimmed hat), I can say "No, it's my Humphrey Bogart Hat, like the one he wore in [insert movie title here]. My Indy Hat is... -
Humphrey Bogart Hat Question
Can anyone think of a movie or photo where Bogie wears a fedora that is (or appears to be) dark gray or black? It's one of those silly personal curiosities. I'll explain later, but it's a boring story. -
"Rules" for newsboy caps use?
Probably just a less expensive (maybe?) but just as acceptable alternative, purely a matter of personal preference. -
Indiana Jones fedora
Well now that the Mummy 3 is released, we have to wait for Art to recover to post pics of the hats he made for the films. Get better soon Art, even if you never post a pic of these hats. We want you well because we love you. I only saw the first Mummy, and was not impressed, so I skipped... -

Why is horsehide better than steerhide?
If the darn thing last more than 10 years, it probably wont fit anymore anyway. lol lol Although I am now buying jackets and other items that I hope will last long enough to "pass on" to the next generation, I hope my son takes after my dad and brothers (ie, is at least 3 inches taller than...- 1911 Man

Custom Aero Cossack
WHAAAAAAAAAAT??????? Yesterday was my 8 week mark (no pun intended) from the time I ordered my Barnstormer. I've been checking my email twice every day to see if Mark chimed in to let me know it was ready. Granted, I had some special requests that might have made it take longer, but now I...- 1911 Man

Why is horsehide better than steerhide?
So basically he's saying that horsehide holsters can't beat cowhide, but he does say a chrome tanned horsehide coat / jacket will outlast anything.- 1911 Man

Vintage-style Coppers
Oh trust me, you can beat modern police uniforms. For the last several years my department authorized cotton blend uniforms with cloth badges and embroidered name tags. This summer, our new chief decided they just didn't look traditional enough, so away they went. Now we are back to wool... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
2 5/8 brim (with binding) and 5 3/4 open crown, standard dimensions borrowed from Art's HST model. Same felt, too, just a different color ribbon. I am really liking it, but I find with the light color felt, I worry about discoloration and staining. With the felt being beaver, will that be a... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
And here it is on my head. I would love feedback on the bash and brim width, and if they work well with my face. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
ITS HERE!!! My Art Fawcett arrived today, it really is superb. The felt is so soft. I had to spray it with a small amount of distilled water and re-bash it slightly to get it to keep its shape. I told Art I wanted the basic silverbelly, 5 3/4 crown, 2 5/8 bound brim, similar to the HST... -

Jacket dilemma (I need input)
Oh, I don't know. Even if we are very grounded in reality, I think we can still dress a little differently than how the rest of the world says we should. I've worn my Indy Hat and Jacket on hunting trips in Northern Utah, where my mode of transportation for several days was an ATV and my feet...- 1911 Man

GQ advice we all ignore
I also get a small sense of enjoyment thumbing my nose at the GQ types. I am happy with my appearance, and too old to care what anyone else thinks. I like looking nice for me, so I am going to do it in the way that appeals most to me.- 1911 Man

GQ advice we all ignore
Exactly my point. A little over 15 years ago, I saw my first GQ magazine, and was amazed at how good the clothes looked. It was everything I aspired to be. I remember an article and picture spread in a 1993 issue that specifically gave several examples of jackets and gear that emulated...- 1911 Man

I would certainly recommend www.cabelas.com They have so many coats designed for rugged outdoor use, some more modern, but some more classic in style. They certainly specialize in practical.- 1911 Man
