    Repro'd B-29/B-36 Crew Cap

    Thanks, InDcop, nice picture! Thanks Thunder and Rene, your appreciation is very gracious. It's fun to be an occasional alternative to all the felt in here and be accepted all the same. dean

    Help Please - What is it?

    Welcome to the Lounge, Gatman! Regarding your hat, my first guess is that it is an original M1898 or M1904 US Campaign hat. The ribbon is unusual, I would have expected 5/8" grosgrain. It is one feature of that hat that makes me suspect it was re-ribboned, since a lot of the original...

    Repro'd B-29/B-36 Crew Cap

    This vintage leather cap was purchased for my birthday this year: As I indicated in an earlier post, I intended to modify it according to photographs I found researching the kind of crew headgear worn in the Post World War II era by USAF B-29 crews over Korea, and B-36 crews of the SAC...

    Military Hat Photos

    Welcome to the Lounge! A man after my own heart! I built a reputation on this style of hat here, ask anyone. It was a search for examples of M1883-M1898 hats that led me to the Lounge. Check out these threads, I started all of them: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=22304...

    who won this...

    Let's see. Hat originates in Saginaw, and therefore is about 45-50 miles north of where I live, but very close to Frankenmuth, Michigan. Looks like the kind of hat someone could wear there during Octoberfest, or for that matter, buy in a plce like Zehnders in the Bavarian Inn shops down stairs...

    Hi, from a "First Time Writer, Short Time Reader"

    Hello fellow Michigander, Mustang! Love your avatar! As fatwoul will tell you, it's the UK that gave the Mustang its muscle...Rolls-Royce Merlin in-line to be exact, and it's North American that produced my favorite fighter of late, the F-86 Sabre, so fatwoul and I are destined to be among your...

    Akubra Riverina safari-ized

    Very Nice job, Alan. The side dents really give it character that sets off the puggaree. Then again, you could squeeze that crown even more for my taste. Note the image below. dean

    Military Hat Photos

    Thanks for the shots! Yes, both of them interest me. Makes me want to get a blank Cooperstown cap and use as the basis for a repro. The Navy hat is nice, too! Thank you again! dean

    "Fedora Hats Are Rarely Sexy"

    Fedoras not sexy? Never heard anyone here seeking to be sexy by wearing a fedora. With that blogger, I believe in "live and take leave". Ruckus continues. dean

    THE OFFICIAL INDIANA JONES HAT

    It doesn't have to be a bad thing, I agree. I just happen to be one of those who grit their teeth when they hear it. I just know that when I wear my just completed, to this point, B-36 crew cap with patches, I won't hear any "Hey Indy!". I don't suppose I'll hear anything unless some veteran...

    1940's Woman's Pearled Faux Snood/Hat

    Thanks, VB. I thought snoods were Civil War era headwear, almost exclusively. Shows what I know. dean
