I got this one today. Its a Dobbs Leisure Flex in a pewter. At least the color looks good on my monitor. Hopefully it looks this good in person. I'm rather excited about seeing it. It should prove to be a rather fun hat...
I just got this Knox today.:)

We'll see what the actual condition & color is when it arives. I'm sure a cleaning will be in order. I suppose I'll...
Hello Folks,
This may have been covered before but can't seem to find any info on this particular cap. I've seen it in photos in books about WWII where either French, German, Polish, Russian & even Greeks are wearing this hat. Molstly civilians though. It looks similar to a Greek fishermans...
In the image below from the movie Pearl Harbor there is a patch on Josh Hartnett's jacket. Does anyone have an idea of what the fighter group or squadron is for that patch? Also would you have a better image of the patch?
It's also on the jacket of the actor on the right in this image...
Hello,
I have been mulling over the idea of getting an A-2 and had come across flightjacket.com. Has anybody here bought any of their jackets? If so what do you think of the quality & customer service? They also offer a custom made service for their jackets. Again, has anyone bought one of...
Hello folks,
I found these Officers pinks on OFAS at a store called National Capital Historical Sales.
I'm just wondering if any of you re-enactors out there had bought a pair of these from this e-bay store and what you think of them.
Also, are there any sellers out there that sell the Dark...
Well folks, here is my latest find from OFAS.
WWII Army Air Corps EM's Crusher Cap. Although I'm still on the hunt for the officers Crusher at a reasonable price as well.;)
This is a new branch to my collection ala Douglas.
Cheers!

At The Front had this on their e-bay auction site so I thought I'd pick one up on the cheap.
I also picked up the Officers pink shirt & chocolate shirt from What Price Glory. The Pink was on clearance and Jerry had my size.
Then on top of it I found an officers pink tie to boot on...
Yea! It has finally been released on DVD! I just ordered ot from Amazon and it should be here soon.:)
It's one of my all time Mel Brooks favorites. My favorite character is Blinkin the blind servant. There are some great one liners & quotes in this one. "Unlike other Robin Hoods, I can...
I just love the style of this movie. The feeling mood & especially the clothing. I dig on the whole black & white to color transitions.
The look of the town is something that I enjoyed viewing, and just wished I could live in a town that looks like that.
Cheers!

Has anybody purchased a Panama hat from the e-bay site Montecristi Ultrafino? If you have what is the quality of their hats?
I had won an Optimo style roll up for about 30clams. they called it a "CLASSIC COLONIAL PANAMA HAT GRADE 9 FINE STRAW" I'm quite sure it isn't the best quality...
I just picked this one up. My Pop & I used to love watching these on Sundays durring the Wonderful World of Disney. The Goofy cartoons were ones he would get a big kick out of, and so I carry on the love of Goofy. They range from 1939 to 1961.
Those are some great childhood memories, even...
Has anybody here had a covert coat? What are your thoughts on them? I hear they are a lighter version of the Chesterfield, made for riding in the country. It sounds like it would make a good year round coat.
Cheers!
Dan
Here is my latest capture from the Isle of e-bay. Netted without too much struggle.;)
I'm guessing that it may need a little cleaning judging by the brim binding and the yellowed bow inside the hat. Looks to be the previous wearer used hair product or had slick head...
And now for my 1000th post... I am happy to present to you, a 1957 Stetson Vogue bowler just won on, you guessed it, Eric The Viking-Bay. I was actually supprised that I got this one. Now I have one that will fit. (I hope);)
I've been waiting for one to come down the pike...
In watching The Aviator again there was a jacket that HH wore when he flew his sleek experimental speed plane and then proceeded to crash it into a beet field.
It had the styling of an A-2 (collar and rib-knit waist) but all the button down features of an A-1 piolots jacket. The wrist cuffs &...
It looks like Johnny Depp & Tim Burton are teaming up again. This time for Sweeney Todd.

It's going to be a while before it is released, but I'm excited to see Burton on this project. I'll bet it's...
Hey folks,
Just won this on Elrond-Bay. It's a vintage toiletry kit from around the 1940's. Aparently never used. It looks to be one of those things that was a gift but the receiver thought it was too nice to mess up so he just put it away for me to find.;)...
