People going crazy for Leather Jackets
yeah, Buyers remorse will set in for this guy eventually. I just cant believe people have that kind of coin lying around. I bought a WWII Hat from a seller Brad_Pric and it was 5.99 and he didnt respond. (sellers name should have been my first clue he was a phony account) Im in a case right...- Dumpster Diver

Bad spot in the brim of my fedora
Thats hardly a drop of spilled milk. Why bother, Just get it out of your mind, and forget it. something so small and arbitrary isnt even worth the bother, a blind man would be happy to see that crease. Just flaunt the imperfection. There is no such thing as perfect, that is an...- Dumpster Diver

Behold, I give you...The cup.
Ive only sat on the Desmond Hughes cloud for a good 24 hours, while the knowledge of the internet can be helpful, its a double edged sword, it can deflate quickly. In this case the fall is worth the rush. the jacket not belonging to F.D. hughes changes nothing for me personally. I wouldnt...- Dumpster Diver

I did see those links, and was my first guess actually before FD Hughes, but this is true E.R. Hughes was Bomber Command. On the hood I saw an A. or an R. But Im more leaning towards A...again I have to get some photos of the lettering posted up.- Dumpster Diver

Yes, It *Could* very well be E.*R*. hughes. He was taken POW It says, and was Flight Engineer. If I can confirm this, then I think that would settle it. It now could Simply depend on the Name and letters. or if The seller is able to put me in touch with the fam and confirm his POW...- Dumpster Diver

Ive written to the Owner of this website: http://www.number59.com/new_59/homepage.html This is the apex for now, or until I find another angle.

*Laughs* boy Ive been waiting for you to chime in on this Paddy...you time it like a true Fedora lounge Vet.

This would be Provincence alright if it indeed belongs to Desmond Hughes, Sadly...Im not turning up Google hits or anything for a Flight Officer A.E. Hughes. I would have to move mountains to find answers at this point just like the old days. If not Desmond, then SOMEONE, and they need me...- Dumpster Diver
