    Akubra Overload

    I received the Balmoral and it is very stiff, so much so that I would expect it to provide substantial protection from falling objects. It weighs about nine ounces, compared to the Camp Draft at six ounces. It is a comfortable hat and looks pretty good in person. As you observed, there will...

    1940 Philco

    1940 Philco

    I have a National HRO, which is one of the legendary intercept receivers from WWII. When I fired it up for the first time I heard an unidentified station sending five-letter groups in CW. :eeek: I know what you mean. Spooky !

    Gibson & Barnes Civil A-2

    I obtained a near-mint black G&B Civil A-2 on the Famous Auction Site for an obscenely low tariff. It, like my other G&B A-2s, seems true to size. I wear a 46R in a suit coat, and the fit is nice for both of my 46R G&Bs. The 48R traditional G&B A-2 I have is fine with a sweatshirt or sweater...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    Ah, NAFTA ! The Coats and Clark thread mill in my town vanished in the dead of night, as we slept. Thanks for "pointing" out the article. :D I'd have missed it otherwise.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Maybe the mid-brown will return soon. It's a favorite of mine. Currency fluctuation = Popular prices from Everything Australian. The good $90 (AU) hat is $81.60 (US) as of now. A taupe fawn CD is pending. :cool:
