    Can a felt brim edge be modified?

    I'm surprised the color matches. I'd have expected some fading on the areas exposed to sun.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Thanks for posting those pictures! What a great jacket... and so familiar looking. Looks like it hasn't been worn that much.

    Thanks. Interesting. And sorry to hear it. Hopefully you can use the band as spare parts...

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

    Slow learner, that seller. I have had a number of eBay purchases end that way. Ouch. BTW, what the heck is the liner in the picture? It looks like a shed snake skin. And what is the sweatband made from? I am trying not to think about that being a 7 5/8.

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

    I seem to recall seeing an American hat labeled "Duplex" and it was two layers of felt? Very nice.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Did Borsalino use the corrugated bit between the sweat and the felt after 1980?

    Aero Stuart Brown Vintage FQHH Lining questions

    Recommend that you heed the mention in other postings on this forum to have some leather or corduroy sewn in to the base of the back of the lining. This will prevent the cotton drill from sagging and popping out the back of the jacket. I just received my cotton drill-lined Hercules FQHH...

    Who got this gray Borsalino velour? Looks really lovely. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=180852663612&si=E55dEIRuPr7RzFN9sPhGkd5Prf0%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_994wt_1338

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Yes, but there is no enforcement. You can win, but if he decides not to pay, you don't have much recourse. Also there's the blood from a stone thing. BTW, if I have learned anything from this thread, it is that I should be very careful about what I say and do on The Fedora Lounge. This...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    If you're referring to me (and it would be good form to be clear) I don't believe I am being hostile. After over two years, I have information to share and have sweated a lot longer than most of you.

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    I don't believe that to have been the case here. The jackets he sent did reflect certain customizations I requested that are unlikely to have been at hand for him, including removing the hand warmer pockets, removing the storm cuffs, and most of all putting the horsehide label in the pocket...

    Yes, of course. This was not meant as a criticism or comment on Aero Scotland. It was meant to provide a bit of an insight into Mark Moye, in the spirit of putting together the pieces.

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    You can certainly pass that gorgeous Bond overcoat to me if it's big enough. But I think you'll find that the sum you're discussing is a fraction of what you'd pay for a garment of comparable function at a hideously poor quality outlet like Burlington Coat Factory, let alone a quality overcoat.

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Executive Summary: I ordered a Hercules through Aero USA's eBay listing in the first week of January, 2010. I received a jacket at six months that was the wrong size, color, and lining. I received a second jacket after another six month that was still too small and had a significant...

    oneterrifichog, yes, trying to get some positive news out there. grayland, thanks and yeah, until I had that jacket behind my locked front door, I had nothing specific to say. I'm still trying to shake a flu so I won't post details until I can think straight. Everybody, we're all worked up...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Ah Dr. V, you could *ask* if I had a dog in this fight. As it turns out, I did. Happily, I can now say I got my jacket. I will tell the complete story soon. But for now let me just say that after over two years of waiting, my Hercules arrived today. On 3/28 I received email from Mark...

    I think Mark can make up his losses with libel lawsuits... I know people are upset, but let's try to refrain from the accusations. It's just as possible he did not run his business well and screwed up big time or had some other personal issue. Can we stick to the facts for the moment...
