    M-65 Field Jacket

    I'm considering getting one to keep warm this winter. Does anyone have one? What are the pros &cons of it? I know that it's not vintage nor is it vintage-styled but I need something that can keep me warm & not be too concerned if it gets dirty. Thanx!!! Charlie

    I Want to Make a Filson Style Bush Hat

    I have a pretty good idea as to how to attach the brim to the crown. My plan is to use a zipper foot. I'm just not sure as to how I should attach the sweatband. I'm going to use some heavy cotton duck that I have laying around. I'm open to suggestions. Thanx!!! Charlie

    I Want to Make a Filson Style Bush Hat

    I would prefer the challenge of making it myself. I would take apart an old Filson bush hat that I have but I might be giving that to my nephew as a gift. I'm going to be using a urethane-coated Cordura in a camouflage pattern that I like. Thanx!!! Charlie

    The Greatest Inventions of the 1940s

    When I was a young lad living in the Florida Keys back in the 80's, I remember that if I got up early enough Douglas C-117's would be strafing over the land spraying a cloud of insect repellent. Pick-up trucks would come through in the evening.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I was pulled over listening to Beethoven. The cop said he was sorry he didn't realize that I was listening to classical, gave me a thumbs up & walked away. True story.
