I've always been partial to WWII era aircraft. It's impossible for me to narrow it down to just one so I'll list my faves. Fighter: P-38 and P-47. Medium bomber: A-26 and B-25. Heavy bomber: B-17 Cargo: C-47 Seaplane: PBY Catalina As far as the real world, a plane that I could conceivably own...

I've read that JFK going hatless at his 1960 inauguration had a big impact on the decline of hat wearing in this country.

Hope this hasn't been covered. Can someone advise the difference between horsehide and goatskin? Look, feel, grain, durability, etc. Additionally, what about manufacturer, Good Wear looks like they make fine jackets, but quite pricey and a long wait. What do you suggest?

Forgive me if this has been covered already. I'm interested in buying a new A-2, can anyone advise who makes the best, most authentic jackets (not custom made). Also, would you recommend horsehide or goat skin. TIA.

I've owned a couple of western style hats in years past but my first fedora is a Campdraft in Bluegrass Green that arrived about five days ago. My second fedora is a Campdraft Deluxe in Moonstone from the Hattery that just arrived today.

Hello. Newby here. Great and informative forum, glad I found it. A little about me, I'm 68, retired from the ambulance business...dispatcher. I've never owned nor worn a fedora but have always admired them on old movie characters. I'm pretty sure it's about time I got one or two...one felt...

I hope this question hasn't been asked and answered already. Can someone explain the difference between the Campdraft and the Campdraft Deluxe?

Love the ostrich hat band, where can I get one like it?
