    Does it measure up properly to the stated 22.5" circumference?

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Those pleated liners are relatively common in British soft hats. Some makers here seem to have had a single liner type that went into everything.

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    Exactly. And our well-known morally upright press felt that it was inappropriate to purchase or print the photograph. Anyone not royal is fair game, of course. Any craven wannabe starlet merely needs to get our of a car the wrong way and … whoops!:eusa_doh:

    Show us your vintage utility jackets

    Cool. What's the date on the film, TT? Yes, I always imagined USSCo to be a rather large surplus and workwear concern.

    Harris Tweed 1940s jacket - size 38

    Who's it written by, and what's the focus? I hope it's not just going to trot out the old rubbish about waistcoats and trousers cuffs.

    Possible origin of the use of X's for price/quality level designation

    Harris Tweed 1940s jacket - size 38

    Or the garment was not made under CC41 restrictions. It was not a catch-all legislation.

    The Cap Faction

    New 1920s/30s "French" fancy crown cap from Wallonia. 3 ridges running from front to back of the crown.

    I'm glad someone bought that Tonak. It has sat on Etsy for over a year. I knew it would be a nice one - even better in your pics than I expected!!:eusa_clap

    The Return of Vintage DI S E A S E S

    Well, she has had the vaccination (in a country and at a time when they didn't regularly give out vaccination cards) so no need to double up.

    The Return of Vintage DI S E A S E S

    This debate played out here in a huge way with very prominent scientist/medics claiming that MMR vaccine caused autism. A huge number of people chose to avoid these vaccines (even the individual ones), around the time I was getting mine, and cue the resultant spike in cases some years later...

    Aero Leathers - International pricing?

    It is something people should keep a watch on, though. Who knows what'll happen after the split.
