** SOLD ** Vintage Stetson Standard Quality western hat (I think most people here on TFL agreed it was likely a 1930s vintage if I remember correctly). Bound edge, corded ribbon. Very good condition for its age (see photos). The decals inside the crown are intact and the sweatband is in very...
** SOLD ** Vintage Byer-Rolick-era Resistol 3X San Antonio/Open Road styled fedora – size 7-3/8. Color is a light grey Silverbelly with a light olive undertone. Not sure of the model as that’s always been a mystery – the hat is marked both “Fort Worth” and “Pecos” on the sweatband. This hat...
Mossi Motorsports ANJ-3 style leather jacket. Dark brown, antiqued leather, size 50R, nylon lining. A heavy, but soft and comfortable jacket in very good condition (it has been worn very little). This is a great, rugged jacket – but I recently had a custom jacket made and something has to go...
Texas Hatters re-build western hat – size 7-1/2. This vintage hat was cleaned, re-blocked, and received a new ribbon, sweatband, and liner by Texas Hatters in Lockhart, TX. It is a beautiful hat, but I have never worn it. I have a few cattleman hats, but rarely get the chance to wear them, so...
Awaiting the predicted rain, wearing my Akubra Heritage-grade Silverbelly Campdraft. I put a center-dent/pinched-front crease in the hat when I got it a couple of years ago, but rarely wore it. Since I changed it to a diamond crease a few months back, I wear it all the time now. Go figure.
Not WW-II, but possibly pre/early Korean War period. The unit patch is U.S. Army Fifth Corps (V Corps), which was in Europe/Germany during WW-II/post-war/1950s. According to what I have read, these very unpopular small chevrons were used from 1948-1951 (and for a period after 1951 on female...
Wings of Freedom tour at Stinson Field with a B-24J, wearing my HH ANJ-3 tribute jacket for B-24J Navigator/POW Lt. M.C. Miller, Jr. (755th BS, 458th BG, 8th AF). Eventually too hot for leather, but I wore it anyway!
I reacquired a M-65 last year after foolishly parting with the one I bought new back in the '80s - the 3" K-frames were some of the best revolvers S&W ever made. I had a Speed-Six back in the day too and it was also traded off for something I can't remember. Congrats on two (three) great finds!
If you've not made a choice, Pop's Leather will make an A-2 to your measurements for under $400. I recently had them make me an A-1 and it is an outstanding jacket.

Not sure if this is from WW-II, but I found this:

I have to "dress up" (shirt, tie, jacket - sometimes a suit) everyday for work and other than the dead heat of Summer (and sometimes even then), my Silverbelly CD gets worn more than any other hat I own. I think thin and mid ribbons have more of a "business" look than wider ones these days, but...
I promised myself this was going to be my last jacket - and I already have some new ideas for Pop's. I also lucked in a used kid-sized A-2 jacket in goat made by Pop's on ebay. No one bid against me and I got it cheap (under $25 shipped) - fits my son perfectly and is of the same quality as my...
