I now believe it's also the difference in the color with the hat being a lighter color than the ribbon. The ribbon on the Stetson blends into the hat color. "and that's the rest of the story" .:D

The crown on your Stetson ( did you say Chatham?) is undoubtedly more tapered than your Camp Draft. The CD has a tall, straight crown. Keep wearing it most of us have come to prefer that.

It's actually a Federation IV Deluxe and I've been forming the crown to my liking. I honestly think it's the contrast colors of the hat and the ribbon that gives it the belief it sit's high on the head. I can see the taper difference still applies to the Federation.

You are correct and that is the reason, no taper, for it looking like a stovepipe on my head.

Is all the art work Vargas?

some is Vargas and some are George Petty. both are my two favorite pinup artists! I have an extensive collection of period calendar sheets and artist's proofs. the proofs are the sheets that weren't folded and stapled into Esquire and True Magazines nor did they have printing on the reverse side. these were typically sent to the boys overseas where they were taped, pinned or stapled to walls or folded up into their pockets so very few exist today in perfect condition but I was able to find a few of those.

Very impressive Edward, I would love to see more of your collection. That B-2 cap is really something special. What do the insides look like? Tags?
thanks! its in really great condition. the shearling is getting a touch thin in some areas that sit snug on the head but its still all there anyway. I have a Bancroft Flighter Crusher and a lesser known company crusher as well but they are just for display. don't want to wear those out as I might get strange looks! lol!
