    VLJ status

    I sure hope so. I had some info in PMs on there that I printed but have since misplaced - information about jacket construction, material links, etc. I'd hate to not be able to recover that. My fault, though. Here's to hoping for a stress less recovery. Dave

    Nylon & Leather: Go well Together, B2 Cap & L2A :-)

    Diver, I'm sure you know by now that such caps were private purchase. Since they were not issued they were sourced from sporting goods suppliers, Sears, etc. Keep up the work! Dave

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    2Jakes, any luck? I have never owned a shuttle machine but loops like what you show are often due to something other than simple tension adjustments. When that has happened to me, there is usually something misrouted or hanging up. I bet you could crank on the adjustment until it breaks the...

    Reproduction WWII Crusher Caps

    Nice job. Not sure how you can afford to sell them for that but very nice job!

    What type of plastic are hat brims made of?

    You are unlikely to be able to sew through HDPE or any other tough plastic - unless you have a very powerful machine. I'm not sure why you would need to sew through the brim. I would just use cardboard if sewing through them is important but that won't be as durable. You would still need an...

    USAAF& USAF Cap blog

    Dean, thanks for the kind words. Edward, the B-1 was very common. If one does a search for, say, bomber crew pics the B-1 will be somewhere in most of them - summer or winter, ETO or Pacific. Dave

    On yer bike!

    I have a modern ride for the team-kit wanna be group rides but I really fancy older bikes. None earlier than the 60s though I'm afraid. Still, I have had no problem keeping up with the posers using downtube shifters and the like. It's a badge of honor to dust someone on a climb on a 40 yr old...

    Vintage Stuff For Cheap!

    Hmmm, I guess something is amiss. That's what I was afraid of. No worries at all.

    Vintage Stuff For Cheap!

    Wow. Gene didn't you get my email in your Yahoo/PP account address?.... or the question on here? Not upset about the shirts but was certainly trying to contact you several ways and want to know if there is a comm problem with my acct or otherwise on my end? Dave

    Vintage Stuff For Cheap!

    Yeah, I'm sure that's the problem - low posts. If still available, which address for PP? Thanks in advance, Dave Kansas City

    Vintage Stuff For Cheap!

    Interested in first two. Couldn't PM for some reason. Oh, I thought I had more posts than 9! Perhaps when I reentered my info a while back it reset? Maybe I'm imagining things. Still interested in the shirts. PP? Dave Kansas City

    FS: Schott Perfecto

    Oops, sorry. Thought those were the same pics shown. I've never seen that label on a Perfecto. Much easier to date with the snap/Perfecto label combo. Might be a jacket made under contract by Schott? Nice looking for sure. Dave

    Photo of the label? Dave

    Hows this for a ball cap.

    That's a great shot! Is "flat caps" referring to the bill remaining flat instead of curved? I've seen that a lot on goofy looking mall caps. Again, nothing new though. The AAF B-1 way the same way..... and functional.
