    For sale Avirex B-3, NYC early '80s, size 42

    I bought this new, from The Cockpit (Broadway at Houston, upstairs) in the early '80s. Made in NYC. Nicely broken in. I haven't worn it for years...too small for me now. Repairs have been made to both shoulder seams and pockets and arm-swings have been installed. It's a very warm shearling...

    It's thoroughly modern, Millie. Only 6 months old,,,500 watts, 37 delightful pounds, very versatile EQ section. I just don't care for the Gallien-Krueger tone. Barely used, never abused.

    What watch band for '60s Omega Seamaster 600?

    So...my uncle that claimed to find another wristwatch on the subway every couple of months died and I got a cigar box with a few watches and bands inside. These sat in a drawer for years until yesterday when I figured I'd take them into a jeweler and see if any were worth even winding up. The...

    Vince Giordano digs my grandfather

    Near the end of this article in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/28/nyregion/28metjournal.html it's stated that Mr. Giordano played a 78 rpm Yiddish version of "Yes We Have No Bananas" for the writer. My grandfather (Gus Goldstein) was an actor in the Yiddish theater and also...

    Window display @ Int'l Center of Photography in NYC

    A new window display at the International Center of Photography (NW corner of 6th and 43rd) is a HUGE photo of spectators at a racetrack dated 1955. Every man and woman are wearing hats (of course) and the fashions (overcoats, vests, ties, etc) are beautiful! I first thought it might be a...

    Free Armani jacket scam (Anyone have this great opportunity yet?)

    A few weeks ago while walking in midtown Manhattan one evening, a couple of fellows with heavy Italian accents in a parked late model SUV ask me for directions to the Lincoln Tunnel. After giving them directions, the driver engages me in small talk and gives me a story that they are heading back...

    Levis 501 STF w/white thread & hardware?

    After buying a couple of pairs of Levis 501 shrink to fit jeans at Sears (the stiffest, darkest ones there) I attempted to exchange one for a different size. They were out of stock on the size I wanted so they placed an order for it on their web site. The salesperson selected "Midnight Rigid"...

    Super Hi-Def inauguration photo...

    Zoom in to the participants and spectators and examine their hats. Cheney looks like he should have been sporting a high collared cape to go along with his lid! http://gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?auth=033ef14483ee899496648c2b4b06233c

    Suggestion on Stetson Nostalgia lookalike?

    I recently bought (and even more recently am about to return) a Stetson Nostalgia that could not withstand a minor rainfall. But I love the look of this hat (when it held its shape)- 2 1/2" brim, 5" crown (aprox.), gray felt with wide black ribbon. A cool '30s/'40s look. Does anyone have any...

    Avirex G-2 and B-3, early '80s, size 42

    I bought these, new, from The Cockpit (Broadway at Houston, upstairs) in the early '80s. They're made in NYC. Both jackets are very nicely broken in. I haven't worn them for years and I can't interest my kids in them. Neither are in pristine condition, but they are far from junk. I'd wear them...

    At what wind velocity...

    do you leave the hat at home? Or do you? When reading the weather forecast in the daily paper, I've also been checking out the expected wind velocity to see if I'm going to have to "hold on to my hat". 6 to 12 mph has been the norm lately and I find myself bowing my head into the wind so that...

    Yet another first time Federation owner

    I just got my mid-brown Federation from Hatsdirect. Jenny was communicative and helpful when I asked for the darkest mid-brown they had available. It took 10 days for it to get to NJ from down under. I was quite nervous about shaping an open crown hat and searched for pictures and sugestions...

    Please educate a noob...

    What is the style of hat shown in the avatars of Indycop and RBH (and possibly others)? Are they "just" fedoras or are thay a particular style/version? That is the type I have my sights set on and I'd like to narrow my search a bit. Who are the various manufacturers of this type of lid...
