    Good Customer Service and Recommendations

    After a quick search, I couldn't find a header dedicated to this subject. So many threads lament a decline in manners, customer service, and/or general decorum. Further, even though this is a site dedicated primarily to things "vintage" and the Golden Era, we are largely slaves to the...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I'm in the market for a good top hat. Is it best to go nearest your off the shelf size, or size up to account for a more rigid hat, like you might do a boater?

    When wearing shorts become acceptable for grown men?

    Ah, my favorite recurring thread. Yes, imagine how foolish my father must have looked in his shorts. The former Marine and Vietnam veteran. The Captain in the large metropolitan fire department. How foolish he must have looked in his shorts as he worked his second job to provide better...

    Aero vs BK

    I've never owned an Aero, and at this point that's largely based on reports that their "contract" patterns aren't particularly accurate. I know that's not a supremely guiding factor for a lot of folks, but I'd still like to give high marks for my Bill Kelso experience. Customer service and...

    New Goodwear Prices

    So much entitlement in this thread. "Good Wear owes us!" Fletch, Andrew, HD... fellas: save your breath and your fingers for the more interesting posts y'all are capable of. You're p*ssing in the wind...

    My "New" Bill Kelso House A-2

    Neat-o jacket. The Bill Kelso jacket is really well put together and looks sharp on you. If I may - try giving it a once over with saddle soap before any sort of "hot water tx"... I found, on mine, that was the end of squeaking and it softened up considerably. Enough so that practical wearing...

    New Aero Bronco, russet goat...

    Butte - VERY nice! I recently picked up another maker's impression of the Bronco in goat skin. It's bringing me around on that hide, too. The lines of the Bronco just seems so... cooool: relaxed. Really has the look of something like a western shirt. And that one looks good on you.

    Diamond Cap "Flighter"

    I'm under the impression they're still custom made. In an email, I was told I was in queue and that my cap would be made on such-and-such a day... Edit: I know I said I'd post some on the head pics, but the ones I shot that were eluded to in a previous post were really rotten. I'll hafta do...

    G8 (Type 440) Jackets help requested

    You did see that jacket in the classifieds with me as the seller, and it was indeed a difficult decision to put it up for sale. I've recently gone high end, though, having taken receipt of a Bill Kelso Rough Wear in horse and a Good Wear Bronco ( second hand ) in goat. To top it off, so to...

    G8 (Type 440) Jackets help requested

    I can't speak to the G8, but US Authentic makes a solid piece of gear. I have a horsehide A-2 made by them, and while it's a little on the thick side for an accurate reproduction, it's very rugged but comes out of the bag really soft for a HH. The finish is...well, it's heavy duty. I don't think...

    The Tie Game: Identify Your US State Out of These Regional Ties

    I don't see one with an Alamo on it, so I'm out... EDIT:18 is a scene from the opening credits of NEWHART, and in the interest of the family friendly nature of this site, I think 31 and 32 need to be separated a little more in the line-up.

    BK Willis and Geiger M422-an excellent jacket!

    Here is Tex Hill's jacket, just an hour away from my house at the Museum of the Pacific War. I'm not expert, fer sher, but i was under the impression it was a G&F. Or so I was led to believe... EDIT - That reads kinda snooty, and it's not meant to be. Just honest curiosity.

    Diamond Cap "Flighter"

    You're welcome, Zemke, and thanks to those who've commented. I expect to be wearing it some tonight, and I'll be sure to put up some pics of how it sits on the head of the ordinary customer.
