    Period Short Waist Half-Belt

    Tag? Very nice. Make sure the dalek doesn't steal it.

    Californian... Aero or Good Wear?

    Sure. But it takes a different kind of guy to do what he does. And the business plan seems to be working. My take on John is that he is a bit deeper into the 1940s than most of us. Even his sizing, at least to him, is vintage. You'll find a lot of people who are doing their own thing...

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

    Er, what's the big deal? Artie's silliness seems to have hit a nerve. Ah JtL, that Pliafelt will not disappoint. Clearly I need to pay more attention on eBay.

    Californian... Aero or Good Wear?

    Don't give up. Call him. He's lousy with email. Or rather, he just doesn't have the time.

    What Aero lining in the summer

    Hm, Mark Moye said nothing about this to me.

    A Fifty Cent Felt.

    Freezer as gtdean48 says, and a brushing. BTW, here's what a Fifty Cent felt looks like: :p

    Post New Hats Here!

    Very nice hat. Always nice to see a hat that is both beautiful and beautifully constructed. And a steal! The brand seems familiar, but I don't recall seeing one before. Thanks for posting it.

    What Aero lining in the summer

    Thanks. I ordered in the first week of January, as I recall, so I'm effectively a month behind you. Looking forward to seeing your jacket. But probably not as much as you are.

    Post New Hats Here!

    You're having the Cavanagh Edge cut off and a clean and block done to an apparently clean hat with its vintage block still intact? Either I misunderstand, or you should go all the way and dye it brown so it's ready for an Indy crown. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    I have not found this to be true. I have a pair of custom (for someone else) Otabo dress boots. They were never used (used to be a guy who sold Otabo returns at a reasonable price on eBay), so maybe that's not what you're talking about. But they fit me nicely and I'm quite happy with $600+...

    What Aero lining in the summer

    I ordered my Aero Hercules with cotton drill and satin (or is that Sateen?) in the sleeves. The leather jacket I've had for ~15 years (Johnson Leathers) is set up that way, and it works great. My Good Wear A-1 is, of course, cotton drill and some shirts will cause friction going in. That's...

    Got this on Ebay

    Nice kitchen, too. Always a relief when something from eBay actually fits! Sounds like you know how to contact the seller. That seems like it would be the best way to date the jacket.

    Californian... Aero or Good Wear?

    And if I weren't a size 50... Actually, I may soon list in the Classifieds that Papa M should consider... But to get back to the topic at hand, all three photos now show up. Very nice jacket.

    Californian... Aero or Good Wear?

    Yeah, the middle picture isn't showing up. Instead a box shows up with the text I typed in. Reloaded a few times. Probably it would be better if you just sent me the jacket for a closer look...

    Stetson Box

    I certainly rotate my hats through various boxes. If I were run over by a bus today and someone else sold my hats, almost none would match their box. I just have more hats than boxes. Some are hanging out downstairs so I can wear them. Others stay in boxes upstairs. I rotate with...

    Okay, I won't panic! If I were to panic, it would be because I am so clumsy at sewing. I want nothing to do with creating bows and replacing ribbons (let alone sweatbands). Enjoy that fine hat.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Nice. I do regret not buying them... but it's just as well. I can't imagine they'd fit my EEE-EEEE feet and as you point out, that's an awkward high boot. But look how well built that boot appears to be!

    Californian... Aero or Good Wear?

    Wow, Papa M, what could be in the second picture that would inspire a user to have it taken down? "This file removed due to violation of ImageShack Terms of Service or by user request." That must be some photo of a jacket! Er, great jacket, BTW.

    Huh. Ribbon looks good and the bow is unique. But I guess there must be a lot of damage not visible in the pictures. Nice hat.

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

    Let me know if you see an interesting one at 7 1/2 or 7 5/8. All the ones I see, including those in your link are just too darn small.
