PM me if interested.
Edward, are you positive the brown Stetson flat cap is the Burney model? It looks darker than the ones I have been seeing on the Internet.
Serves you right Haha! I used to get comments about Indiana Jones when wearing my wide brim trilby(Fedora usually in the 'Lounge') And Blue Oyster Club if I wore my Harley hat with a black T.I've had Elmer Fudd comments whilst wearing a B2 Cap :-D
Tonite I wore out my vintage G1 with a Navy 'Watch Cap' to top off my look in the December drizzle and got accused of being a 'Big-Issue' seller.........I just can't win :-D
Big Issue, is a magazine sold by homeless people, or more probably by those of all ages, men or women, without a permanent address. The magazine contains features that often cover 'issues' such as drugs, life on the streets, and often controversial issues similar plus the odd music and media features. The title comes from the sellers circumstances, being homeless, which is 'The Big Issue'What the heck did they mean by Big-Issue seller???

The sellers are paid a percentage from each magazine sold. During the winter the sellers will occasionally be seen wearing clothing, often donated or from charities(But not always) that may include woolly hats described here as Watch Caps.
I dont often buy Big Issue so please correct me if I have got any of this wrong.
Cheers, J
There is a local lad around here that wears a 'Davy Crockett' hat with everything.....he's never without that hat :-D
Well, Ive had a B3 for about 16 years and usually wore a ball cap watchcap or my cowboy hat. A few years ago I bought a dark blue fitted wool ball cap with my aircraft maintenance wings embroidered on the back. I've always Dreamed of a B2 but finances wouldn't allow it. A few weeks ago I got fed up and made a B1 summer hat to see if I could make one (I'm handy that way) it turned out superb! So I made a B2 even dying the skin. When I went to sew the leather brim on my machine said NO so I took it to a shoe repair place to have it sewn on. The nice lady couldn't believe I made it! In the mean time, my wife felt bad and bought me a ELC Russet B2. It was a size too small (ordered my normal size) and the russet does not match my seal jacket so it's in the mail now to me exchanged. Point being a watchcap or plain navy ball cap looked great! But I still prefer a B2!
