    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks, Lt. Sorry about the indoor-lighting cellphone pic. It really deserves outdoor lighting! You bring up a good point - coming to learn what suits us. I know how to assess this with other items of apparel, but still learning about hats!

    In praise of non-vintage classics

    This is a great idea, and one that I've been following for some years now. It's very hard to find good condition vintage in my size. So I look around for various items and articles that are made in the classic style, with old-skool materials and construction where possible. Here are some...

    Indy boots, 1940's style

    Yes, they are the Alden 405s. Eddie's in California did the work. (see number in my last post). Here is another boot I actually like more than the 405, and costs less, and looks more vintage out of the box - not Cat's Paws, but a relatively thin rubber half-sole that looks like I...

    Indy boots, 1940's style

    The two places I know about - one was found by my buddy Chicken on the SuperFuture forum - Eddie's Shoe Repair in Sherman Oaks, CA (818-789-1972, ask for Greg). Here in NYC, try Jim's Shoe Repair in (212-355-8259, ask for Joe). But - this might be a catch - they won't really send you the soles...

    Indy boots, 1940's style

    The Indy boot with classic Cat's Paw sole. Cat's Paw Rubber Company had been in existence in the early part of the 20th century, and was quite the thing in the 30s and 40s. Cat's Paws advertised "non-slip grip," which was well received in an era when most shoes had leather soles...

    Slippers

    Stubbs & Wootton - They are about the same price as the Crockett & Jones slippers. But what's the deal with the skulls? I like skulls, but since about half of their designs have skulls, I must be missing something about why... Baron Kurtz - those slippers rock.

    Slippers

    Thanks everyone! I will stop by Brooks Brothers on my way to Macy's this eve. My wife needs some too, but she likes fuzzy bunny slippers, at least in the winter. She wears very cushy flip-flops in the summer. I want something more vintage looking!

    Jerome A-2 Artwork inspired by Terry & the Pirates

    My favorite A-2 is a seal-brown Real McCoy's NZ Rough Wear. I've always been fascinated by the Dragon Lady from Terry and the Pirates. So finally I got my A-2 painted, by none other than Jerome Urbaniak himself. I hope to take more pics soon from diff angles, but here's a tiny one - my avatar...
