Not sure this will work out, but wondering your thoughts WRT color matching (or not). I'd like to start with one decent hat (fur felt minimum, beaver is better). The two coats/jackets I'll be wearing for the Winter are the brown goatskin USAF issue A2 flight jacket and a USN issue peacoat (navy blue, very near black).
I spent a lot of time reading the site (like many, I like the Indy hats, read hours on those alone, I'll get one eventually, but not for awhile). But I know a lot more than I did a couple of days ago, and have a huge amount more to learn.
Spent some time today at Henry the Hatter in downtown Detroit, great knowledgable folks, very giving of their time (flat out told them I wouldn't be buying today, yet they were still quite helpful and willing to give me lots of info, and had me try on several hats).
Anyway, I seem drawn to a sage green hat, which would be fine with the A2, but awful with the Peacoat (same with brown and I think tan). Black, blue or gray would be fine with the Peacoat, but the A2? Hmm... actually, maybe the tan would work with both? Or maybe I shouldn't even be considering the color of outer wear?
Just thought I'd run this by you for opinions, let me know what you think (I know, I'm the one who's got to wear it, but I learn from the twists a thread will take ).
Thanks for your time and your thoughts.
