What Cap Are You Wearing Today?
Ah yes, the "Patrician" (Quiet Man) cap made from Hardy Minnis lambswool in the Gun Club check pattern. I have the same cap and love it! Wear it in good health! -
Gibson and Barnes doing ok?
I share the same experience and opinion. I have two Flight Suit A-2 jackets and for the money they are very nice. As you mentioned, the fit was also better back in those days,- before they succumbed to the new Big Mac induced "modern physique". A few years ago I thought I would buy another G&B...- Gromulus

Famous People in Flight Jackets
How old is Clarkson, 56? He looks terrible, like a heart attack waiting to happen. Anyhow, he certainly doesn't do anything for the leather jacket.- Gromulus

Fit check five different schott leather jackets
While not my favorite style (with the fur collar), but the flight jacket fits the best. None are too long, just need to tuck your shirt in.- Gromulus

Advice needed - Akubra Federation IV
Same positive experiences here. I own fourteen felt Akubra hats, including four Fed IV hats (Imperial and Heritage grades) and have never noticed any tapering or other ill effects in all my years of ownership. In fact, the larger brim Feds and Campdrafts are my "go to" hats in inclement weather... -
Penman Hats
And offered in my three very favorite colors! This is really a great deal from an excellent hatmaker and anyone who is "on the fence" about ordering their first (or second, third, fourth.....) custom hat should really consider this option. You will not be disappointed with any of John's creations! -
Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
No worries with an Akubra. I own 13 or 14 Akubra felts and nearly every one has been worn in the rain (sometimes very heavy) and/or snow with no ill effects. -

Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions
I also own several (four?) Stylemasters, some of the first fedoras I obtained. While I do tend to wear hats with less taper more often than not these days, I always get more complements on my Stylemasters (especially in Moonstone) than my others. Go figure. Variety is a good thing and along... -
Question about the Raiders brim
I have four Fed IV hats and while they get a lot of wear, I am not trying to be Indiana Jones. While I fail to understand some people's need to exactly replicate a film character's hat, if that was my intent I would also just spring for a Penman. P.S. Besides his Indy hats, John can make any... -

Detective style fedora
Ditto. I have several custom hats, including several "works of Art", but if this is your first entry into the hat world, you may want to start a little "slower" (less expensive) until you figure out what works for you Many of the decent hats available on ebay are not much less than a new...
