GQ advice we all ignore
I was perusing GQ the other day, and saw this article. I read it out of curiosity, in my mind GQ is way to pretentious, modernized, and arrogant for any one to take it seriously. Click on the link, "Find the right one", and look at the slide show...- 1911 Man

Eastman Monarch A-2 I dont get it!
I have never handled an Eastman, but my Aero repro feels darn near bullet proof. My Wested Indy jacket is thinner leather, but is also horse hide, and tough as nails. I think you will find that despite feeling thin, your Eastman will hold up exceptionally well. But it is ultimately your...- 1911 Man

The *funniest* comment I ever heard...
I can't say I've had anything near so hilarious, but the other day I had to run to the grocery store for a few odds and ends, wearing my typical daily wear chinos and light weight button down cotton shirt. I threw on my Adventurebilt hat, as it does keep the sun off, despite the heat. While at... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
JUST HEARD FROM ART!! My first official "Work of Art" should be winging its way to me this week. I am speechless. Can't wait to show it off. I wanted something like the HST model, but with more closely matching silverbelly ribbon, and no pin. I know felt is hot in the summertime, but I... -
new cold weather wear
June 2nd I ordered an Aero Brown FQHH Barnstormer from Mark. I ordered the USA edition so I could get the inside pocket and tartan wool lining (Utah winters can get mighty cold). Just waiting to hear from him that it is finished. Of course the first few months I have it, it will look really...- 1911 Man

NEW ELC .50CAL A2
At first glance, I really like that jacket. I only have one high end repro A2, and it's an Aero, 1940 contract. I chose that over the 42 anniversary model because it is supposed to be slimmer fitting, and I thought I preferred collar stands. I might have been wrong on that part. I had...- 1911 Man

Thinking about a work of Art
So I have now ordered my first work of Art. I received and returned the conformer. I've ordered the basic fedora. I started with the silverbelly HST model, but told him I didn't want the ice colored ribbon or gold pin, but just a matching silverbelly ribbon and brim binding. So I guess it's... -
Indy Review
Here is my take on the whole thing. Like so many others, I am in my mid thirties, with children who are around the same age I was for Raiders. I have loved the Indiana jones movies since day one. For years I have told people Raiders is my all time favorite movie, I just love it. Last...- 1911 Man

Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?
I have had my AB for a few months now, and I couldn't be happier. My wait time was 13 1/2 months, but like others have said, good things come to those who wait. When I ordered mine, it was before Steve got the contract for Indy 4, and his wait times then were 6 months. They were still unsure... -

Allen Edmonds:How many??
3 pair of Park Avenues, black, brown, and burgundy. I so liked the classic lines and styling of the P.A., I just went with variations on a theme. Interestingly enough, I had not heard of AE's until a few years ago, and saw a fella wearing a pair of light tan Coltons (a medallion cap toe...- 1911 Man

New Aero has arrived!
When I bought my Aero A2 (thank you Mark), I thought the rust knits looked way too red in the pictures. I knew I wanted seal brown, I've always disliked russet. I called Mark and told him what I wanted. He suggested sending me some knit and leather samples just to let me see them in person...- 1911 Man

Indiana Jones Grey Hat

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Yesterday to work I wore cotton olive colored chinos, a tan button down dress shirt, a brown tweed sportcoat and tie. I don't usually wear my hat to work, but I brought it to show to a friend who really likes hats. He was very complimentary. It's an Adventurebilt. Later I walked up the... -
Admiral Byrd from Aero
Welcome to the lounge!! That is an outstanding Jacket. The Barrett looks pretty kick a** too. I own an Aero 1940 A2 and love it, with plans to order a Barnstormer this year, they make such great jackets. I'd love a few more pics of yours. Is the hide FQHH or a lighter flight jacket hide...- 1911 Man

That has to be one of the nicest hats I've seen on this forum...and that is saying something. -
Adventurebilt
I ordered my AB before Steve got the contract for IJ4, but he had to put my order on hold to do the movie hats. I've since received my hat, and I waited over a year to get it. I have to say, it was well worth the wait. It is outstanding. I'm looking forward to hiking the canyons this summer... -
Wested Indy Jacket - Experienced Advice Please
I ordered the Wested Raiders and have had it for about a year. I ordered Horsehide because I wanted a tough jacket. I wore it on a week long hunting trip last fall that involved miles of hiking and 4 wheeler (ATV) riding. I have worn it quite a bit this last winter. I have not yet...- 1911 Man

movie hats that inspired you...
Just saw a so-so movie last night called "Leatherheads" with George Clooney. The movie was okay, but the costumes were fantastic. Lots of Caps, Homburgs, and a few Fedoras. But it wasn't just the hats, the suits and jackets were all outstanding. Clooney sports a leather jacket that looks... -
