    Look for the Union Label

    Sorry to dig this up but is that last post of the Straw Panama of a slanted bug or horizontal bug? My hat has the same corner logo with a red 19 underneath and it is from anywhere between 1927 and 1981. Possibly to the 1940s if the 'Mallory 1823' mark is to be believed.

    THE MALLORY MILE

    I picked this up recently and wondering if anyone can shed some light as to the model, felt quality, and rough age of the hat? Is it meant to be rollable? Is the front brim meant to sit flat? The rest of it snaps except the front. Despite being pretty soft felt, I don't want to do anything harsh...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I was curious about the buttons; have they always used this style of button, because they're the same as the new USN pea coats and to be honest, they look kind of cheap to me but the only other style I've seen are the gold or silver eagle buttons which I understand are used on officers coats?

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Thank you, this is exactly the info I was looking for and I don't mind long informative posts. It looks like I wear the same size as you :) So all Navy pea coats should have chin straps? Also which year did they stop using corduroy to line the pockets?

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Wow, thanks for the quick responses! So if yes to both questions, were there any specific dates for when these two styles were produced together or has it always been available for all WWII coats? When you say 8 button, are you including the two hidden under the lapels like this one? Or...
