    The vintage Bible

    Root, thanks for posting those pics. Since you have the catalogue, can I order through you? Put be down for an even dozen of those 89 cent hats in 7 3/8. And I'll take four pleated- and belted-back jacket summer suits in size 40R @ $3.39 each. I'll send you a personal check for $50.00. That...

    G.I. Boots - explain this to me

    It is very cool to have folks in this forum that can answer that question so quickly. I have no expertise in that area whatsoever, but I can attest that, for whatever reason, Marines were still wearing the 6" shoe with leggings in Korea. My dad had several pairs of leggings leftover from his...

    Georgia Air Show/Memphis Belle!

    Where is the air show, Mike? Shrewdly, I figured out the state; but what city?

    Life

    LIFE was a great magazine to have around the house, growing up in the 60's. Lots of pictures, not so many words--perfect way for a curious kid to learn about what was happening in the world, without being bored to death.

    Flight or Bomber Jackets on a budget!

    Hey Doc, you've got a point about U.S. Authentic. They're not bad, especially considering the price. I ordered one 4 or 5 years ago. It fit really squirrelly on me, but that's probably a "me" problem rather than a "them" problem. I do recall that they seemed to be well made and reasonably...

    Flight or Bomber Jackets on a budget!

    Flight Suits in California, without question. The're not cheap, but the other jackets out there that are cheaper just don't cut it.

    Thanks for the invite Paddy!

    Hey Steve, I'm the guy you just sold the W&G AN-6552 to. Welcome to the Fedora Lounge. You'll enjoy it! Scott

    I didn't know you were famous Paddy!

    Matt, I'll certainly defer to Paddy--he's much more of an expert than I am--but I have an Aero repro A-2, and I think it's top notch. One of these days, I'll post some pictures. I also have an Eastman. It's great, too, but the cut of the Aero fits me better. Of the top repros, I think...

    A couple of nice hats on eBay...size 7 1/2.

    Thanks for the tips, JP!

    A couple of nice hats on eBay...size 7 1/2.

    Yeah, my mullet is between a 7 3/8 and 7 1/2 so I wasn't too concerned about exact measurement. But, you're right, you can't be too careful with ebay hat measurements (and other information, for that matter).

    A couple of nice hats on eBay...size 7 1/2.

    Thanks, Havershaw. I'm onto 'em! If anybody else wants to bid though, feel free. I'm not sure how high I'll be willing to go.

    Highwaisted pants

    Zohar, I'm glad you brought up this subject. I have often wondered if ordering my size in a "tall" would accomplish the high waist fit. I'm understanding from what you said that it does work. Is that correct? Related to that, I have a pair of Bill's khakis in a "regular," size, and they...

    Fedoras Getting Popular Again?

    I don't know the name of that Chevy truck, but I know what you're talking about. It's kind of like that new Sky Captain movie, sort of "noveau retro," meaning, I guess, that even though it looks retro, it looks nothing like actual old trucks. It looks cool, though. Me, I'm doing my best to...

    Optimo Heavyweights

    Matt, I'm glad you re-thought your decision to wait at the mailbox until the swatches came. The neighbors were beginning to worry about the little boy in the big hat standing out in the rain.LOL

    A Dobbs 55?

    Looks nice in the picture. Definitely let us know what you think when you get it. As you pointed out, you're sort of buying a pig in a poke when you buy a hat on ebay, but for $25 plus shipping, it's fairly cheap fun. I've got a stetson of unknown vintage and condition on the way that I...

    To cuff or not to cuff

    Cuffs on all my suit pants and dressier slacks. No cuffs on my casual khakis.

    The Way Jail Ought To Be

    I think it's great! The Newt Gingrich lectures might constitute cruel and unusual punishment, however.
