1966 Fayrefield Slouch Hat
As promised, here are some pics of the two puggarees. I was rather surprised by what I found, they are very different in re construction method and materials. The Dunkerley Ltd slouch, the pristine one, is by far the better quality, hat wise as well as puggaree. The Fayrefield slouch hat is... -

Hopefully the pics I'm aboutto post will help. I found out that they are definitely different than thee ones used on the pith helmet! -
1966 Fayrefield Slouch Hat
While taking pictures of the two puggarees I noticed sweat stains on the pristine one... I'm not about to tell SWMBO, but I am going to clean it. -

1966 Fayrefield Slouch Hat
Hmm.... I'm not sure honestly. I'll take a look at both of the puggarees I have and let you know. I have a Wolseley pith helmet I need to make one for, and have a few sources on how to make it. If I remember correctly it is made of a single, folded piece of cloth 21' long. Since a slouch is... -

1966 Fayrefield Slouch Hat
I'm rather chuffed about the Australian slouch hat that arrived today. Back in 2019, I was able to obtain a pristine, 1965 Australian slouch hat in my size. What I didn't expect was SWMBO's reactions to me wearing it. Every time I'd wear it, she'd chastise me, saying it was in too good of... -

I wonder how big of a difference there is between an air rifle, such as the Haenel 300 and a Daisy Powerline Model 856 BB/Pellet rifle is? I completely forgot dad had purchased one back in the late '90s (I think), until I found it the other day while going through his stuff.- Correus

Show us your Guns!
I just inherited these three little pocket pistols. The first is an Ortgies 6.35mm circa 1922. Unfortunately someone did away with the original wooden grips; I'll need to replace these. The second is a Jimenez JA. 25... ...and the last one is a Jimenez JA .380.- Correus

Making a Puggaree. Advice?
Hello everyone! I was recently gifted a Wolseley pith helmet by my nieces. It isn't a fancy one, and has one of those 'one size fits most' liners, and the chinstrap leaves a lot to be desired. I'm going to take it to my local hatter to see what he can do about the liner and chinstrap... -

Show us your Vintage Rucksacks!
Recently acquired at a local action, a vintage Boy Scouts Yucca pack. From what I know, it's probably from the 1960s, but it's still in really great shape. I was able to find the owner's name and his Troop number and city, but I'm not finding any information on the Troop. I've even checked...- Correus

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
Thanks for the advice. It does look like a Boy Scout canteen, but have found no indication of it. Palco produced some canteens for them, but those had about a 1" wall widening the thing. This one is basically a discus. I'm hoping there is a manufacturer's mark on it that can be seen once the...- Correus
