    This may have been covered already, but I couldn't find it. One of my hats got wet when I was on a business trip in Memphis, TN a few months ago. Well, not knowing exactly what to do for a soaked hat (and not being a member of the FL yet), I just let it dry setting on it's crown. My problem...

    "Working man's" attire?

    I was wondering what type of clothing men wore in the manufacturing industry during the 20's and 30's. I'm particularly interested in what they wore in lumber yards and the lumber industry in general. Thanks.
