You nabbed a good one, and beat me fair and square (razza-frazza-fraka :rage: !!!)
I've held one of these in my hands. You will never want to put it down. Way to go.
The Christy gets a lot of support because it really has the potential to look the part. However, the recent changes to the Federation, in my eye, make it the better choice. They have a great color for the sea plane hat (Moonstone), they are built better than just about any off-the-rack hat...
I love that hat, Stylin. Great twist on one of Art's most classic designs.
It's actually rather funny, because the ribbon looks olive green on my monitor, and I've been wondering what a black hat would look like with an olive ribbon for the last few weeks. Now I know! lol

It was even a...
Wow... I tremble in fear thinking about it. Given that my current collection is mostly Art Fawcetts, ABs, and Johnnyphi's Vintage NOS, I must be well over $2,000 by now. But, since hats and clothing are my only vices, I console myself with how much I don't spend on booze, smokes, cars, poker...
Snazzy loafers, Flat-Top!
Jack, if you think that jacket is great now, wait until it breaks in. The fit actually get better, if you can imagine! I have one in cowhide.
Anyhow, I have some pics of my stuff. I know the suit could fit better, but remember that I said I'm a tough body to...
