Officers before WW2 had a wide degree of latitude on uniforms.....like all armies at the time. They bought their own and they had to have them made to the pattern but there was still some degree of individuality. That certainly could have been made custom by Stetson or modded by them. Also...
I gotta be honest here. Part of me is glad that there are guys operating outside the law and heavy handed regulation. "It's the romantic in me." However, the fact that there are old tankers running around out there is bad.
With the whole global shipping crunch and some large retailers hiring there own container ships, you would think that those ships would be able to be profitable these days. Crazy times.
Great post Johhny! Thanks!!
I have the IMA P1871 in Khaki. It is a good basic pith but on my 7-1/2 or so size noggin, it is tight. I have the head band as loose as possible and it fits ok but the metal studs that the liner attaches to hit my head and can get uncomfortable.
