Is the "Perfect" bash important?
Watching old movies from the 40's & 50's, I pay attention to the fedoras. It seems that fedoras were just "put on & worn" without too much regard to the bash being exactly right every time you put on the hat. Does the bash have to be "perfect" each time you put on your fedora? As an... -

Thanks guys; lot's of good info there. My coat has a label like this inside it- And it looks like it was made by a company called Kuppenheimer. Now the search is on for an Ivy cap to either match or complement the coat. -
Anyone heard of an AirHog?

Tell me about Harris Tweed?
I picked up a tweed coat at a thrift store nearby and it has a patch inside indicating it is made of "Harris Tweed". I googled Harris Tweed and now know what it is, but was it popular in suits and caps in the 40's? Does anyone know any background about it? Is it the suit Indiana Jones wore... -

Painting "Nose Art" on back of A-2
My son, a WWII history buff, wants to have a "Nose Art" image painted on the back of his A-2. Just like the original WWII fliers painted the back of their jackets. Does anyone know a source to do this? Does anyone know how to find an artist to do this? We thought of airbrush, like they do...- Jeephoto
