    Back In A Fedora!

    Simply put, I haven't worn a fedora in over a year. Just started again. It's a Dobbs. I put the thin ribbon on it and a TWA Stratoliner pin RBH gave me. I feel more acceptable around here again. In the hat forum, that is. The phone camera doesn't do the hat justice. It's just proof that...

    Personalized leather pseudo-flight jacket

    Couldn't think of a better title for this thread, since this is an unorthodox project of mine. I wanted to try some hand made insignia and had this sheepskin leather jacket that a friend gave me. I modified the jacket collar to make it a bitter smaller just to accomodate the insignia. Then I...

    Cooperstown Ballcap Co.

    I pretty sure that's an eight panel cap. Beautiful! I love that type, vintage 1940s style. Terrific eye, Matt, as usual!;) dean

    Cheers To The Baseball Cap

    Having just discovered this thread, I must say that I am presently a proponent of vintage look, fitted caps such worn by early to mid-20th century baseball teams, and aircrew caps, figter and bomber squadrons, and military caps, US et.al.. I understand the fedora lovers' prediliction. The...

    self-concious in my fedora

    I went through the whole thing, and now I'm into caps, yet I can't help giving long wistful looks at the thin ribbon fedoras and long for a nice one to wear once again someday. dean

    WW II USAAF Headgear

    A bit of stretching, some heat and moisture applied judiciously with an appropriate stretching device or hatblock might get that cap up to snuff. dean

    B-2 Flight cap question...

    Crown Height

    Yes, simply steam the crown, push out the bash, re-steam, and bash to suit your taste. Most of the fedoras I used to own touched the top of my head, which is why I removed the liner in them, in addition to being a, literally, "cooler" hat wearing experience. Campaign hats are worn this way. I...

    Not So Happy Christmas...

    Glancing furtively around the Lounge, stepping gingerly into the welcome back line, I extend my hand in renewed fellowship, the strains of Vera Lynn plaintively asserting that "...we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when..." in the background as I stammer out something about how long...

    Would It Help To Wet A Cap Before I Stretch It ?

    I'd leave it until it dries. dean

    Not exactly a fedora gripe, but still a valid gripe

    Found this: http://www.amazon.com/1955-Brooklyn-Dodgers-Crown-Fitted/dp/B001KYYQXW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1229533415&sr=1-10 dean
