    Check out the new pin on my Campdraft,

    What I see, although not the best picture, indicates four engines. That cannot be a DC-3 as they were only twin engine aircraft.

    English Walkers (Shoes)

    Tried your link to limmer. Could not find the wing tips, just some ulgy walker types. I had several pair of British Walkers when in high school and college in the 60's. Fine shoes wish I could find them now.

    Custom Allen Edmonds "Chestnut" Spectator Wingtips

    Those look great! I had a pair by a company years ago called British Walker, well made, but had so much trouble in my youth keeping the white vamp clean that I finally dyed them to match the rest of the shoe. I now wear Allan Edmonds as my daily wear because it's one of the few brands that...

    First

    I just order my first from Art Fawcett, a larger brim fedora with a narrow ribbon . Style is that of the hat worn by Jeff Bridges in Seabiscuit. Having worn western styles most of my life I cannot stand the"stingy" brim types. Jeff

    Military Hat Photos

    Some of these pictures are great. I remember an Italian officer when I was assigned in support of a NATO headquarters back in the early 70's who had a hat that looked somewhat like those of the pictures of William Tell, with a long feather. Never saw another, the Greeks and Turks although...

    Military Hat Photos

    Absolutely, when I completed Officers Training School (OTS) and upon the oath of office, everyone threw his hat into the air. If you did not have your name inside it was a problem. Also helped claiming your hat at the O club esp at some of the formal occasions when almost eveyone was somewhat...

    For your consideration: The comeback of the hat?

    Personally, I prefer a wider brim and am looking for a fedora similar to that that Jeff Bridges wore in Seabiscuit. It had a wider brim and a narrow ribbon hatband.

    Hats in the rain

    Prefer a hat, especially when carrying anything else. I spent 10 years active duty in Air Force and umbrellas were not allowed then. The flight caps were worthless in rain and the round dress cap with short bill was marginally better. For rain get a wide brim. I have a few western Stetsons...

    Introduction, and question...

    Thanks for the welcome. I know it shall be a bit of a wait for the AB but from what I hear should be worth it. As for pictures, will have to play with that one, digital cameras computers and me do not do too well together. I saw on another post where Steve aka Fedora, and some of the...
