    FS: Hat People - Extra Full Herringbone Black and Gray 23"

    I only wear full newsboys and get rid of those that are not. Unfortunately I have no use for grey or black. If it was in a brown or a brown mix, we'd be talking.

    The general decline in standards today

    From what I can conclude, the song did it's job. Didn't see anyone that was obese where as today it's at least, according to polls, 75%. Maybe that's one of the reason they are called, the good ole days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Leather munitions jacket???

    That Aero website is nice, good selection but a tad bit too much that my pocket book would allow.

    Leather munitions jacket???

    I can understand the use of wooden clogs when handling explosives, not chance of an electrical charge setting off the detonator with wooden shoes.

    Leather munitions jacket???

    A modern day invention is what I was thinking. Nice style though, looks more like a leather single breasted pea coat.

    Leather munitions jacket???

    I wasn't planning on acquiring one. I had never heard of them being called a "munitions" vest/coat. But as Standbye posted, a munitions crew with bomb loading wagons shows, they could be called by that name. In the collectors field, they are called 'jerkins'.

    Leather munitions jacket???

    I think that is his load bearing belt, what we called a pistol belt or part of the LBE issue.

    Leather munitions jacket???

    The Orvis offered is why I asked. I know the brits during the WWI & WWII years had a leather vest called a 'jerkin' but I never heard one called a Munitions Vest or even a Munitions coat.
