    WTB: Straw Hat

    The Stetsonian panama seems to have vintage dimensions. A bit expensive, but the only one I know of with a full crown.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just a modern Cooper A-2 with a stacked leather AVG inspired squadron patch. It's hot outside in Central Florida right now, but the office A/C is kept in the 60's.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Unfortunately not, though David Morgan stocks a somewhat similar (though a bit less dressy) Akubra hat called the "Range Hat". https://www.davidmorgan.com/shop/product/1330/hemp-range-hat Really the only significant difference I can see is the lack of brim binding.

    Selling My 1940's-50's Cal Leather CHP Jacket 22" Pit to Pit $300

    Spring is coming here in Florida, and that means 90 degree heat, which means I need those $300 to go toward a Penman Panama hat.

    DM Akubra Adventurer

    In natural light it's less blue and looks a light gray. Also the Adventurer is very similar to the Fed IV because the Hattery is the only outlet allowed to carry the Fed IV, dunno if you knew that.

    Summer Hat Project, just thought I'd share.

    Well, summer is upon us, and me being in Florida, that holds especially true. I decided to make myself another nice summer hat to help protect me from the heat. I decided to depart from toqilla straw this year and go with a more beachy coconut straw hat body. I used my trusty 52 block to...

    Selling My 1940's-50's Cal Leather CHP Jacket 22" Pit to Pit $300

    I don't wear it nearly as often as I thought I would, so I suppose I should let someone else enjoy it. The Jacket, going by the talon zippers (seven link diamond zipper pulls) is dated late 1940's through the 1950's, and as such is a little on the shorter side, as was discussed in an...

    Is my vintage CHP Cal-Leather jacket too short?

    Well, that pretty much hits the nail on the head. It fits as intended. So the answer to my original question is "no, the pants are too low." I may also save up 350-400 for a used Vanson CHP on ebay, and see if it fits for a more casual look. Thanks guys.!

    Schott G-1 Lookit that huge collar. When were G1 collars ever that big? Had to have been a product of 70's fasion influence.

    Cheap but not hideous denim jacket suggestions

    I've always been partial to the Levis standard trucker jacket (70507). I currently wear this exact wash. The 0604 with corroded copper buttons. http://m.ebay.com/itm/191741020656?_mwBanner=1

    US Authentic A-2 fit

    Well, I'm not too sure about that particular brand, but the original A-2 jacket pattern had low armholes that cause it to ride up when you lift your arms.
