    I haven't had much chance to check in lately, but thought I would give an update on my favorite hat. I will travel to jolly ole England next month to lecture at Oxford and visit the House of Lords on invitation. I picked up an old A2 and figure my old Akubra Fed will accompany me yet again. This...

    Old US Wings lambskin A2

    I bought a new jacket off ebay. It was advertised as a Goatskin modern style A2, but after further inspection it turns out is was an old lambskin.

    Stetson Open Road- 6 7/8 Exceptional condition

    This Stetson 4x OR is in exceptional condition. I find little evidence to suggest it has ever been worn much at all. I do not know the age, but the liner and brown sweat suggest a number of years ago. Early 80's is the guess. There is one small faint dark mark under the brim which cannot be...
