USAAF B2 hat

[Schwa]

I have a B2 cap - it seemed a logical mate for my B3 jacket. I'm not sure if it's a eat match or "too much" when taken together.

Still, I like the B2 - it's quite warm and the brim is pretty practical - especially when the snow shines bright.

If you have a B2, do you wear it with your flight jackets or others? I'm also curious about how you do the brim - standard or turned up? If it's turned up, I wonder how you accomplished that - the brim seems quite stiff...

The B-2 Hat I own Is an original From Werber sportswear and is mid-war period.

I would Say I like the original because of its quality control Is nowhere near as good as Eastman Leather.

Wear my Eastman B-2 with the brim peaked up and cocked back and to the left. The old style caps were meant to fit a LOT smaller than modern Day baseball hats.

The brim should be broken in while worn peaked up when the earflap is down.

Wear it with a B-3 Jacket, Or I like suspenders and a nice Red Woolen Hunting Shirt.

Wool Work pants and Boots, Oh, and a close shave.

If you are looking to experiment wearing it with other things, The B-2 has Zazz when you get on a decent Hawaiian Shirt actually.

Wearing mine a lot when out walking the dog; goes well with a duffle coat or my lumberjackets. I would like now to acquire a second one in black, but not finding one anywhere. Thought about dying one, though the ELC like mine have gotten far too expensive to experiment with like that.... I might try some leather colourant and one of the cheaper (faux) ones that SoF now do.
