    Cleaning satin lining

    Stratoliner Liner Stains I just received my first Stratoliner and love it except for the liner stains. The liner looks like many of my Open Roads with the Royal Stetson logo protected by a plastic layer. The remainder of the entire liner is covered with light yellow "splatterings". The liner...

    My Grandfather's WWII Pics

    Read Jeff Shaara's new historical novel "The Rising Tide"...it is a very readable account of what happened in North Africa during WW II, and the early history of the invasion of Italy. His second book of a trilogy will deal more with later events in Italy. Read all of his books...and his...

    Jpeterman Norfolk jacket

    I liked the Norfork when it first came out, but didn't want to pay the full price. I periodically check the Peterman's sale items and was lucky to find a Norfolk in my size. It's been my all time favorite jacket. It's well made, has many pockets, a very nice color, and goes with...

    Canvas Hunting Jackets

    I highly recommend Filson for top quality plus they're made right here in the USA. If you're into Ebay, there are many Filson coats up for bid there as well. Of course they're not cheap, but will last. http://www.filson.com/home/index.jsp

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Pre-WWII buttons (I'm not sure the year) were different than the WWII era design. I had a terrific WWI coat with a large, multi-color dragon design sewn on the inner liner (undoubtedly done in Asia) but, alas, the coat was way too small for me. The anchor buttons from that era had (from...

    New Grey Akubra Federation

    My gray Federation arrived yesterday and it is "better than expected." It was easily shaped and I love the color. I had always resisted a dark or charcoal gray having gone with the brown Federations, but this is one nice looking hat (even my sister-in-law said so). I haven't decided if the...
