Let me say, nice jacket. It almost makes me want to do business with G&B again. I have a bit of a long story that I would like to add here, so bear with me. About two years ago, I ordered an Expedition from G&B. From order to delivery it was about 6 weeks. This first jacket was perfect in every...

I need some info on Paratrooper boots. Who makes the best repro? My choices seem to be the following. Corcoran/Cove, which I am wearing right now, (more on that in a minute)... At The Front... WPG... And WWII Impressions, not really in the running as they are made by Cove I...

Thats nice! Where did you get it?

From the Lost Worlds website: How does he know who to sell to and who not to sell to? Technically, I suppose anyone wearing an A-2 not currently serving in the United States Air Force is playing dress-up. This guy included. It is, after all, a military issue garment. [huh] I suppose if you...

My Filson, which my cats found fit to use as a vomitorium last night :rage: , is supposed to be "100% virgin Wool". I assumed that this is why it was rough and scratchy, because it wasn't blended with a softer fiber like cashmere. No?

Bow tie= Great form of birth control Chicks do not dig the 'Barney Fife stepping out with Thelma-Lou' look. [huh]

I have a Macinaw cruiser from Filson which is about the best wool coat I've ever worn. Why can't I find a calf length over coat made with this quality wool? All of the mens coats I see in stores are usually a wool/cashmere blend. This feels wimpy to me. I like my Mac cruiser because it is so...

The Jazzman is the hat. :eek: Must not order jazzman:rage:

I've never found a vintage hat that fits me, so I can't say I've ever found anything in one. I like to keep vintage pin-ups under my lid. I once found an old 20$ bill pressed into a book I bought for 25c at a flea market.

Yes, I talked to her on the phone today for about 30 seconds.:confused: end of story. Whether or not it is a genuine Cavanagh hat, I thought it was nice looking regardless.

http://www.linstouchofelegance.com/AntiquesCollectibles/HatRacks_HallTrees.shtml Check out the nice Cavanagh hat with box! I called about it and it is a 6 3/4, (unfortunately for me). I didnt ask about the price, but I did tell her that it would go for a pretty penny on Ebay :)
