    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...

    Diamond Cap "Flighter"

    I'm pretty excited about showing this. I know, in the HATS section, there exists the great merged crusher thread, but I want to see if I can get a sort of...more specific thread going over here in WWII where the interest may be a little more focused. Today I received my Diamond Flighter, and...

    FS: Real McCoy's Dunbow A2

    I'm offering a Real McCoy's Dunbow A2 The size on the tags reads '46' and, while I typically wear a 46 off the rack, I'd say this fits closer to a 44. I'm 6 feet tall and about 210lbs. That statement takes into account the vintage military fit of authentic A2 reproductions: it just gets me a...

    Hat Resurrection

    Got a little something related to this thread - http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?28066-Removing-stains-from-felt - if you're feeling adventurous, but that's not the main thrust of this post. To tell the truth, with hat prices getting up where they are, I was, and still am, a little...

    Real McCoy Dunbow 46

    I'm have a Real McCoy Dunbow reproduction. It is a size 46, but better suited to a 44 or 42 even. The shell is in excellent shape. The left cuff has a pencil eraser sized moth bite and the waistband has two nibbles about the same size. I would prefer to trade for an A-2 of similar quality in a...

    Another BoB book...

    With Wings Like Eagles by Michael Korda ( Harper Perennnial - 2002 ) I mentioned on another thread that I'd picked this book up a couple of weeks ago and subsequent posts implied no one had yet read it cover to cover. I finished it last night and figured I'd give it a quick rundown for those...

    Crusher: Original v. Repro

    Here are some shots of an original WWII crusher and the reproduction offered by Garcia Aviation. First up, Garcia's offering in OD. The cap is US made and really quality stuff. In terms of a modern comparison, it blows Midway out of the water ( my FD dress hat is a Midway and doesn't hold a...

    Americans in the RAF

    First off, I'd like to thank Smithy for getting me a "starter kit" of information on this subject, via PM. The main question I want to pose concerns uniforms. I've seen a few pictures of this sort of thing: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/safdkiltie/2ERS00383.jpg The U.S. pilot...

    WTB: A-2 repro in a 46R ( maybe 44 )

    I'm looking for a reasonably accurate A-2 reproduction at a "reasonable" price. By reasonably accurate, I mean I'm looking for no side entry pockets, fairly accurate liner color, etc... Sewn through hanger would be bonus. The US Authentic brand jacket or something like it would be about what...
