Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!
Also, nice to see someone actually refer to Fort Detroit. Gets a bit tiring to hear my city being treated like it is exclusively the Motor City, especially since the sheer reliance on automobiles, especially for transportation, is one of the main factors...

Hello folks,
Stumbled upon this forum when I was searching for hats on the internet and found a place of people who wore "old-fashioned" clothing like me.
