Making a New Hat
I wanted to revive this thread, as I just picked up my latest JW hat. Like other reputable hat makers we all know and love, JW uses the finest quality Winchester felt rawbodies. He offers 100% rabbit, 100% beaver, or a 50/50 blend. He mostly does western hats, but offers dress hats as well... -

Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?
Recent AB in action pic, for your enjoyment. This was an afternoon hike with my family up a nearby canyon, mostly to see the leaves. The weather was crisp and cool, this is my favorite time of year. My wife took this pic, then photoshop'd the frame, I thought I would share. The jacket is my... -

calling all Aero owners . . .
I am a suit size 40, with a chest measurement of 38 exhaled and 40 inhaled. My Aero is a 1940 contract A2, and I understand they might fit slightly different than the 1938 contract. I went with the size 40, and I can wear a dress shirt or a tight weave close fitting sweater type shirt under...- 1911 Man

calling all Aero owners . . .
Both My Aeros are in my sportcoat size. My Barnstormer is loose enough to layer under without being baggy, and my A2 is almost form fitting. Mark will help you determine the best size.- 1911 Man

New ELC "Time Worn" A2s
I am sure the jackets will look great. However, I am also in the camp of breaking in my own new stuff. That way it takes on my own personality, and it becomes mine, not a replica of something I saw in a museum or in a movie.- 1911 Man

Remakes
When it comes to movies, I like to consider words written by Roger Ebert. "It doesn't matter what a movie is about, it is how well it is about it." Or something like that. Some good cases in point. The 1993 movie "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford. One of the best movies ever made, still...- 1911 Man

What knit for A-2 in horse "pull oil" hide?
I've seen the rust knits with Russet colored leather, and I think it looks good too. The rust knits are pretty unique to Aero, now and in WW2, and I think they distinguish the jacket, whether seal or russet hide.- 1911 Man

Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!
Thank you all for the kind words. Details: Standard brown FQHH, but I did ask for the darkest shade brown available in that hide. I got the red tartan wool lining, and asked for two interior pockets, which I got. I also asked for two additional belt loops on the back, an idea borrowed...- 1911 Man

New Aero Barnstormer All I can say is, wow. I have an Aero A2 already, so I have first hand knowledge of Aero's quality, but this surpassed even my high hopes. It fits great, it is superbly crafted, but I only have one photo right now because it is too hot to wear it for longer than one...- 1911 Man

Tell me about the company What Price Glory, worth buying from?
But are they (RAF rollneck sweaters) slender fitting, or designed for the modern day heavier population?- 1911 Man

Hats and baldness
I was always told wearing hats will rub your hair out and make you bald, but I've learned that isn't true either. It's genetics, you'll either go bald or you won't. I do believe if you haven't started balding by 30, you wont go bald. -

Recommend a hat?
Ok, that narrows it down. I still recommend an Akubra, they have fedora models with shorter crowns, although I can't remeber names. One of the more common ones is the Federation IV available at www.hatsdirect.com The newest Fed (IV) has a shorter crown than the last version, but I believe... -
Recommend a hat?
Any number of tasteful fedoras would be great. I have a slender face, and find that I can still wear one even with a 2 1/2 inch brim. Akubra is a good place to start for less money. Art Fawcett is a great place to start for a little more money. What exactly were you hoping for in asking... -
Humphrey Bogart Hat Question
Most of the time the exchange goes: "Cool hat." Or "Nice hat." And I reply, "Thank you." Usually that is all that's necessary. ;) -
Humphrey Bogart Hat Question
I've only got a high score of 23, but I'm working on it. I don't belong to the local gun club, a bit pricey, but the public range has skeet or trap available 3 days a week. I love shooting as much as I love hats (and clothes). -
Humphrey Bogart Hat Question
Andykev, thank you for the suggestions. I am currently watching Bogie's movies one at a time, when I have free time (about 1 a month!), and that is not fast enough. Thank goodness for the IMDB, you can see stills from all those movies. Casablanca and Angels With Dirty Faces both have very...
