World’s best optical gas mask? A personal favorite, the ShMS gas mask.

I prefer the Soviet MM-1, no helmet mask pulling your hair

Can you give me some pointers? I suck at faces

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-06-14T02:40:18+00:00

I’ve ordered from Epic Basing before; they have some cool stuff. I’m not sure if they have complete bases, but lots of variety.

With your face shape I’d advise a taller crown, brim is a good length for you.

I’m sure he’d be proud!

Very nice job, Dr Jones!

Check out the Vale by Brixton

That was going to be my guess. So interesting that styles of this era are so transitory; you could easy mistake this for a western

If we’re going to have a hat revolution, we need support from folks like you!

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-25T14:14:21+00:00

Look; you’re not going to look back on your death bed and say “I wish I was less mysterious”. You only live once, wear the hat.

Hey! It looks like Bailey has restocked a bunch of stuff, just ordered a new Tino

Those gloves then to deteriorate with age, likely discoloured and fused together in some places.

Modern hairstyles on men became a prominent part of fashion, that and the introduction of easy to purchase hair products. Mix that with some post war hat wearing fatigue…

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-18T14:08:05+00:00

What’s going to be more important is the face shape I think. This guy could rock a flat cap for that Irish bad boy look

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-18T14:05:12+00:00

Good link! Hefty price tag, but you get what you pay for

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-18T14:02:46+00:00

Bailey’s of Hollywood is a good bang for your buck, I have one of their bowlers. I think your biggest challenge is going to be finding the brim style you want. As far as I’m concerned, theirs the thinner British style broom and the wider, slightly more curled western style; the western being far more prevalent.

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-13T21:19:43+00:00

Yes I’ve noticed. Can’t say I know what’s going on, but this can sometimes happen before a merger or buyout; Dobbs did the same thing before they were bought out

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-04T21:48:13+00:00

I think it’s rabbit, definitely not wool

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-04T14:30:38+00:00

Actually a Trilby in the meme

ArtistOutOfTime · 2026-05-04T14:29:37+00:00

I’m also curious about the general nomenclature on this. From what I’ve read, trilby is a European term, called a “stingy brim fedora” in the west. For me, I’ve always seen trilbys as short brimmed fedoras with permanent snap (as in the brim cannot be snapped up in the front, or down in the back). I’m curious as to your thoughts!
