Dinerman, you've got the fedora that would make me wear one again, and it isn't even a thin ribbon! Tremendous hat there! dean -

I won't wear a toupee. I see a hat as an equalizer. dean -

Retro-fitted, modded modern cap to vintage style
IP- Thank you for your compliment. I've been addicted to modifying things all my life. Even fedoras. Ed- I, too, used to think color came about when I was born. Thank you for your kind appreciation. The actual caps they wore were wool, and had 8 panels, but I've got two on order from... -

Retro-fitted, modded modern cap to vintage style
Okay. Fedoras rule, but caps are tops, too. With a photograph of an actual 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron cap worn by the pilots of F-86 Sabre jets in the Korean War, I made some modifications to a contemporary unstructured yellow cotton twill cap I picked up for a few bucks. The black "39"... -
Repro'd B-29/B-36 Crew Cap
Bumping this for the heck of it. Just to clarify my present, and recently enduring, crew cap fixation. I've recently re-done one of my caps and made two others in the process. Pics will follow soon. dean -
Engineer's cap
Very cool! The cap descendant of the mechanic's cap of the 1800"s and similar to the WWII era military fatigue cap! Great look, too! Caps are tops! nice photo! dean -
Anyone else dreading the new Indiana Jones film?
Yes, they are baseball caps...BUT, with a distinct difference! My present avatar is a photograph of the cap worn by Lt. Cecil Foster on display in a museum. He is from my home state, and an F-86 Sabre ace from the Korean War. I hear he's in his 80s now. Here are the two pictures I got with my... -
Anyone else dreading the new Indiana Jones film?
I'm one of those who cringes from "Hey, Indy!" comments, and considering that I have been getting into crew caps lately, that film will probably only solidify my present departure from fedora wearing, for the forseeable future. dean -

Am I Anal or What?
Never tried RIT dye on a hat, I only wanted to tint the campaign hat, and the coffee seemed more manageable. I remember thinking that RIT might have been simply too strong. J.T. Marcus has done some dye jobs, I think, perhaps he could interject here again. Just found this thread... -
Am I Anal or What?
I wondered when this would come up. Yes, it's true, I used coffee on a campaign hat to shift it from grey to a tawny shade, but found that the coffee, when it dried it would cause "collection stains" at areas in the felt where the coffee in suspension in the water collected when it dried... -
Delon's hat in Le Samourai
Careful viewing of these Youtube samplings from the film will give you brief glimpses on the crown of the hat, so you can pause it at the right moment. Initially, the glimpses I got were a typical hand pressed inner crown, you can see it pretty well after the guy gives him the pistol in the... -
