    Replacing un-reeded sweatbands? My "new" Borsalino needs some help.

    I came up with late 30s - early 40s from the label under the sweat. It looks like none of the ones I could find in the brotherhood thread and some searching on google pulled up one that was similar - and the author of that post had it listed as a '39 lid. If you move the sweat gently you can...

    Any Do's & Don'ts in military clothing?

    Perfect example of military fashion that has gone mainstream is the A-2 jacket. I rarely wear any modern military items other than my contractor hat (baseball cap with velcro for flags etc) and I carry an assault pack to work. I wore a military uniform for 12 years and while I miss being in...

    The devolution of our society through fashion in just two pictures.

    Not always, depends on where they are both geographically and in the legal system. In Vermont's jails inmates wear street clothes.

    Greatest Vintage Green Hat Ever?

    Oddly enough someone might, however have a custom hatter make a similar lid.....which would cost about the same as that hat.

    Film/television speech patterns from the 1920s to 1960s

    If I remember correctly Dan Rather went to a speach coach to remove his Texan accent as he was basically told he would never be on the national news with it.

    What do our hats really say about us, and more importantly, are they right?

    I have gone through the whole range of being uncomfortable wearing them to not really caring what anyone thinks. The only place I do not wear my fedoras is into my office. I leave them in my Jeep. I work in mental health with folks that are very ill and they can be violent at times. I do not...

    My wind retention cord broke off my hat... in a gust of wind!

    I have a new cheapie Scala that I no longer wear. It had a wind / trolly cord when I first got it. It was obviously for decoration because when I was checking out the cord and how the button was attached I dropped the hat and the cord came out in my hand. The borsaliano I had had a cord but...

    I had to go to a doctor's appointment with my wife last week and I was wearing my Knox. I left the hat on in the hallyways and lobby as it is my understanding that this is OK. As we got onto the elevator an elderly woman was wheeled on with a very young aide. I immediatly removed my hat (was...

    I have three of them - one painted with a friends B-24 nose art, one decorated with a 101st patch and 502nd widowmaker insignia (the regiment I was in while in the 101st) and one that is plain. I find the one that is plain gets worn alot more than the other two. My only issue is that it is a...

    Interesting Obsevation

    I was in Montpelier again last night and a lot more folks were out and about. I saw zero fedoras. I wonder if Friday Night was a fluke?
