    Sterkowski hats...opinions/experiences wanted please

    I just ordered a couple of Sterkowski caps and I was wondering about the sweatband. Both of the caps I bought have a leather sweatband, but from the online images, it appears to be just sewn on without doubling it over (I don't know the right word for it, but it's sewn in with the sweatband...

    Old British army sizing

    Don't want to create a whole new thread for what is precisely the same subject, but can anyone tell me what an "A" suffix means in terms of battle dress size? I'm currently looking at a size "12A" on eBay and while size 12 would fit me perfectly, I don't know if a size 12A would. The item has no...

    The Powder Room is Now Ladies Only. But I LIKE Talking To Ladies!

    Yes, "alea iacta est", and because of the decision's impact, the women will have to deal with the consequences. It's really hard to even acknowledge when one makes a poor choice - reversing it is even harder. It seems to me that the women have allowed themselves to fall into this particular...

    Just saw the email regarding this change. So the Fedora Lounge has now opted to become a sexist organization. As a proud feminist, I'm hoping this is some kind of tasteless sexist joke. Since when does an organization that welcomes all sexes prevent one gender from voting on issues of...

    Dr Martens

    Yeah, I can easily see why people might not be fans. Having to wear them for school would definitely have left a bad taste in my mouth for them too. The strange thing about DMs is that they have somehow acquired this mythical reputation, when the reality is, back in the day, they were always a...

    Dr Martens

    I own six pairs of Dr. Martens, including a pair of Made in England Vintage 1460s, a pair of Vietnamese 1460s, two pair of Pier Boots and two pair of shoes all made in China. In terms of the boots, I actually prefer the ones NOT made in England (MIE). The MIEs tend to be smaller and narrower...
