I sure hope so. I had some info in PMs on there that I printed but have since misplaced - information about jacket construction, material links, etc. I'd hate to not be able to recover that. My fault, though.
Here's to hoping for a stress less recovery.

Diver,
I'm sure you know by now that such caps were private purchase. Since they were not issued they were sourced from sporting goods suppliers, Sears, etc.
Keep up the work!

2Jakes, any luck? I have never owned a shuttle machine but loops like what you show are often due to something other than simple tension adjustments. When that has happened to me, there is usually something misrouted or hanging up. I bet you could crank on the adjustment until it breaks the...
You are unlikely to be able to sew through HDPE or any other tough plastic - unless you have a very powerful machine. I'm not sure why you would need to sew through the brim. I would just use cardboard if sewing through them is important but that won't be as durable. You would still need an...
Dean, thanks for the kind words.
Edward, the B-1 was very common. If one does a search for, say, bomber crew pics the B-1 will be somewhere in most of them - summer or winter, ETO or Pacific.

I have a modern ride for the team-kit wanna be group rides but I really fancy older bikes. None earlier than the 60s though I'm afraid. Still, I have had no problem keeping up with the posers using downtube shifters and the like. It's a badge of honor to dust someone on a climb on a 40 yr old...
Wow. Gene didn't you get my email in your Yahoo/PP account address?.... or the question on here?
Not upset about the shirts but was certainly trying to contact you several ways and want to know if there is a comm problem with my acct or otherwise on my end?
Dave
Interested in first two. Couldn't PM for some reason.
Oh, I thought I had more posts than 9! Perhaps when I reentered my info a while back it reset?
Maybe I'm imagining things. Still interested in the shirts. PP?

Oops, sorry. Thought those were the same pics shown.
I've never seen that label on a Perfecto. Much easier to date with the snap/Perfecto label combo. Might be a jacket made under contract by Schott?
Nice looking for sure.
Dave
That's a great shot!
Is "flat caps" referring to the bill remaining flat instead of curved? I've seen that a lot on goofy looking mall caps. Again, nothing new though. The AAF B-1 way the same way..... and functional.
I think the guy is covering his eyes so as not to be identified! A new loo for me is the pants falling down thing WITH a belt.
No wonder I'm not cool - I tend to think things out too much.

I made up "deep dish" as that's what all the "trucker caps" appear to be to me.
"Baseball" caps certainly don't have the heritage and class as Homburgs and Fedoras but they have been around for well over a century and I would say have remained popular as civil wear for 70 years or so -...
Typical $12 mass produced ball cap with a slightly unique logo - about as good as it gets today.
I wear only "baseball" caps with a classic look - not that deep dish rap crap!
JMO though,
Dave
It's a very exclusive group so you can't just waltz in there.
Just kidding. I registered last year using my free yahoo account with no problems. I have registered for other sites that gave me such issues though but finally made it through.
