Caps/Hats/headgear to wear with your flight jackets...

Gents,

we discuss and compare denims, watches, boots to combine with flight-jackets.

Well - an essential part of someones apperance is whatever he wears on his head: construction workers are distinguished by their hardhats, police-officers wear their police-badge on their hats, gentlemen used to wear hats and any other kind of headgear throughout the 40ies - 50ies i'd say.

You simply couldn't look "dapper" without any headgear.

I wanna start with a new cap that just came in (AMAZON-driver is still around the corner) together with HUGAULTS latest "ANGEL WINGS" issue (i know i'm late - was originally issued already last year).

Still those "trucker caps" look pretty casual to me - opposite to the more modern versions with the totally straight brim/visor which the younger dudes or "Rappers" wear.

I was pretty amazed to find one with my favourite WW2 fighter on it and thought i'd share some pics ...

As far as i know - even though STETSON is a pure american Brand - those trucker caps are manufactured by STETSON Europe only - maker tag indicates the distributor is located in Cologne, Germany

i got of couple of these already with different logos on the shield - pricewise they are at around 40.- Euro which is pretty pricey compared to the prices they ask for trucker caps in the US

Looking forward to some more pics of your headgear ...

Cheers
Thomas

I mostly wear beanie sort of things in the winter but I do love this Amazonian Tarp Hat, not exactly cool, well if my mates opinions are anything to go by, lol.
It does have one strange effect though, people seem to talk to me more when I'm wearing it, no idea why.

I though I had a deja-vu when I lined up my paper boy hats for a photo for this thread.
Indeed there was a similar thread previous year:

Hats to wear with your flight jacket

What Hats do you have to wear with your flight jacket ? Maybe an Australian hat or an Indiana Jones hat? Won't it look old fashioned? I have a hat Jeep cap, but it's for cold weather :rolleyes:

I dunno who makes the best of the best (maybe good wear does them too ?)
Mine is from Eastman and it's top notch in quality and authenticity
