    Thanks for the nod, HD, handymike, Jeff, theundeadkennedy. Great looking jacket(and lid)...and good eye, Jeff!;) I only wish Mark could source more of this terrific American horsehide. Mark designed these collars to be easily worn turned-up if desired, as was commonly done...

    Bill Kelso Aeronaut A-1 or Aero Aeromarine

    It bears keeping in mind that there is no single, iconic "Cossack" jacket design. All manner of collar styles, lengths, tailoring, and materials were seen, in a variety of different applications. See Spencer's excellent treatise on the evolution of leather jackets in the 1920s, and his...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Impossible for me to follow the rationale, Rusty, or NOT to feel singled out. You felt that my photos from today were more appropriate to be placed in the FEDORAS AFIELD thread so said thread was eliminated such that all similar posts can be 'consolidated' in WHAYWT? I greatly respect your...

    Eliminating FEDORAS AFIELD as a stand-alone thread and incorporating it with the 6,000+ page WHAYWT thread in effect destroys its content. I cannot see or agree with how this would enhance the quality of the HATS Forum.

    Temperatures dipped into the 50s by Labor Day morning as we headed to breakfast. OPTIMO Montecristi. Back to the flea market for the old 'Air-Way' boater, a tad too large for this little kid but a bit too snug for the big kid. Sitting down for our evening meal at the Mystic Lake...
