Mystery G-1 jacket
Hi, folks, and, yes, it's been a while since I was in the Lounge. An oversight, surely. Need your help. I got a battered G-1 off eBay for a decent price, and it was everything advertised. The label is missing, so I am not sure what company made it. I do have a few hints: 1. The "USN"...- SamReu

1949 Chevy pickup truck. Make women smile and men envious. $11,000
The man who’d marry your grandmama had one of these. When he drove it to see her for the first time, your grandmama’s father looked at the machine and scowled. “Farm boy,” he muttered. “Won’t amount to nuthin’.” Well, he was wrong.

Shaping a sisal hat
Folks, a thunderbolt of good fortune struck me. A guy in a junk shop sold a couple of bicycles to a friend, and, as she was trundling them to her car, she eyed a hat atop some other stuff. She picked it up and saw that it was new -- still had the tag attached, in fact. And that tag said... -

Technical Hat Terms
Fellow Loungers, I need a glossary of hat terms, i.e., I need to know what each part of a hat is called. I am familiar with the "pinch," of course, but want to be certain of every other part. It's for publication, so I want it to be right. Thanks, as always. -
