    The TFL Spirit

    I joined in 2006 and these days only check the place out once, sometimes twice a week. There's a real wealth of knowledge that's been contributed on Lounge over the years, whether it be about hats, suits, movies, cars, art deco, boots, shoes or leather jackets. A lot of the early members who...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    My Dad was an interstate trucker back in the 50s. He encountered that sort of phenomena on his travels, as well as locust plagues that turned the sky black before devastating the crops of half of outback New South Wales and Victoria.

    Regius Built Reproduction Sears 50's Square Pocket Half Belt

    Great styling and fit and if the leather looks that good in photos, it must be the living end to see in person.

    Labour Union Clothing

    Hey All, I think this site is Japanese? Though the prices seem more in line with something from China. Anyway, I immediately thought of @ton312 when I saw these wool jackets, but I know he's not alone in his love for them. A small would still fit me fine according to their measurement...

    What leather competition?

    OK, I'll bite. In spite of the label, it looks like russet jerky HH to me.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Speaking of which, there's the prime contender now ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    That two-tone brown one had me drooling over my keyboard like a man who's discovered an oasis in the Sahara.

    Prayers for Ken of Aero

    Will be praying for an easy recovery for the Legend. The only thing I don't like about the Aussie summer is my Aeros are stuck in the closet until the start of May. My thoughts are with the Calder family & the Aero family too.

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Mrs Holiday and I stayed up late NYE after the big family BBQ and played a host of old 80s songs. A lot of them were national hits by big Australian bands. Here are a few of them. Not sure how many of these would've made it overseas, but some great songs and some great memories here: Mental As...

    Van Page Brown @HoosierDaddy, In Memoriam

    Just logged on after the holidays and this thread hit me like a falling wall. I thought a lot of Van and his posts. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Camels were brought here along with Afghan camel drivers to help open up the desert areas of the outback a century and half ago. When cars started to get popular, some geniuses started releasing the camels into the wild and now they've joined the ridiculously long list of feral species in this...

    Swankys Vintage Hughes jacket

    Sorry bro I should've posted the link. Got interrupted by a bunch of phone calls trying to do the post! But yeah the grey will fill a nice niche in my closet,

    Swankys Vintage Hughes jacket

    Thought some of you guys might dig these. Josh at Swankys has brought out a new jacket style in blue, grey, black and cream with a fleck: As you can see it's a half belt with an inverted pleat up the back, like a 40s-early 50s gab jacket. I have a couple of shirts from Swankys and they're...

    Has anybody seen ____ around Lately?

    I still lurk around here occasionally. Don't have anything constructive to add. Things aren't the same after the last two and a half years. Trying to be careful not to stray into politics, but I live in a section of Sydney that, along with eleven other council areas was subjected to two "hard"...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    @Tiki Tom I watched the Paranormal Rangers. The whole episode was extra creepy but the skinwalker was particularly evil. Weird correlation between the UFOs and Bigfoot - or maybe not so weird after all.

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    You guys might get a laugh out of this one. Back in the schlocky 80s, 1984 if I remember right, I was one of a bunch of friends who had a sleepover at a buddy's house. We were all 15-16 years old. The movie we watched on the old VCR (actually I think they only came out in Australia about 1983 so...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    I've got nothing actually constructive to add other than An American Werewolf in London is the best werewolf movie of all time. That said, I will now make a very swift exit out of here before the Lon Chaney Jr fans chase me down! lol

    Well, whether you're an apparent "religious loony" like me or someone who believes all matter magically popped out of nothing spontaneously supposed billions of years ago, whatever your beliefs on origins they must be taken as a matter of faith. As the physicist Hubert P Yockey wrote in...

    Thanks, Al . . . Having heard the term metaphysics plenty of times, I decided to actually look it up and man, ain't that a rabbit hole to go down. Time to head back to the hats and leather jackets forums before my head hurts!

    Oumuamua

    The best book I've read on the subject is Alien Intrusion by Gary Bates. His research gleaned from working with a network of UFOlogists, reports and eyewitness accounts is that there's an oddly spiritual facet to the phenomenon. That purportedly interstellar craft, or objects, maneuver through...
