    Brightly-colored fedoras anyone?

    Just today I ordered a blue pork pie.

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm a newcomer to the site and a latecomer to this thread. I have recently started discussions with Aero in the U.K. about ordering an A-2 jacket in russet jerky. Is there an advantage to working with Thurston Bros? I like the idea of a fit jacket, which I think has advantages over just...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I used to wear pork pie hats when I golfed with my dad. I no longer golf, but I just ordered a pork pie!

    Help Me Find a Leather Jacket by Color

    Oh, absolutely! In fact, Dominick was careful to indicate that the "real deal" contained "unmatched" horsehide, which could/would cause color differences in the finished product. This was, in fact, the look of the original I had many years ago. Give the price difference today, I think I'll go...

    Help Me Find a Leather Jacket by Color

    I would like to thank everyone here, and @Blackadder in particular, for pointing me to the Aero Leathers site. Having perused it, and then having contacted the company, their very responsive Dominick informed me that the A-2 in russet jerky is indeed, the color (and the jacket) I was looking...

    There is no one more averse to having their picture taken than I. I don't even use a photo in my avatar. That said, the one photo I posted here (see this post) has me smiling for joy modeling my new hat! Let me state for the record publicly that I will endeavor to smile always when posting a...

    Help Me Find a Leather Jacket by Color

    Too late to edit my response post, so I'm adding this one. I took a closer look at the Aero "Real Deal" 42-15142-P Type A-2 Unmatched Horsehide, and I think this may be it! They offer two colors, so I've sent them a question regarding the difference between "seal" and "russet." Could be I'm...

    Yes, the Aero and Mushmans are very close. The Mushman without the liner and semi-striated look is pretty darn close! I'm going to check into them. Thanks!

    Help Me Find a Leather Jacket by Color

    Years ago, and one size smaller, I had a leather waist-length jacket that was a reddish-brown color. It wasn't brown and it wasn't burgundy and it wasn't cordovan. The problem I have is naming the color. If I knew the color name, I could probably search for it. As it is, I don't have a clue...

    Quick question: Why do so many people scowl or frown when taking selfies wearing your hats? One would think you’d be overjoyed to be seen wearing a fine piece of craftsmanship! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    French Hats and makers.

    It was suggested I post here with some pictures. Last week I started out by thinking I should wear a hat. Oh, I've been wearing running and baseball caps for years, but the time (and season) has come to put a real hat on my head. I've learned a lot in a week, but there's still so much to...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Well, here it is: my very first wool fedora! It's not the one I thought would be first, as I sent the original back for exchange. No, this is a 1980s Flechet velour with satin lining and made of imported furs. Corded hatband with feather.

    Show us your Guns!

    I originally bought it for my daughter, @DeaconKC. Turns out she didn't care for it. What's a man to do? I simply added it to my collection! It's really fun to shoot!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I had two different people measure me today, each doing it three times. There were some discrepancies, but I think we all pretty well agree that I'm 58cm (which, according to the guide translates to 7-1/4). That puts me on the low end of size L. So, we'll see. I have another hat due to...
