    Was Your Hometown Retro?

    I grew up in the 'burbs of Cleveland. I remember a lot of pretty retro things. After all, they filmed the parade from A Christmas Story in the downtown. Honestly, watching that movie always takes me back because that's about how it looked when I was a kid. Higbees department store had seven...

    Old Movie Posters - anyone collect, and what?

    Hi ImOldFashioned, Definitely post what you're looking for. Myrna Loy is terrific. I've been meaning to settle in and watch the Thin Man series for some time now. The last thing I saw her in was Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. She just has a wonderful cool about her.

    Old Movie Posters - anyone collect, and what?

    Well, I've linen-backed a good portion of things, but that does get expensive for the larger format stuff. I've got a few US three sheets (41"x81") that are linen-backed (Gaslight, An American in Paris), but several more that could use it. A couple of the six sheets I have (81"x81") would look...

    Old Movie Posters - anyone collect, and what?

    I've been an old movie buff for many years, and somewhere around the 1980s I started picking up movie posters here and there from some of my favorites. In particular I started getting a lot of Ingrid Bergman's films, including some of the old Swedish posters from the 30s. Anyway, just...

    Joseph Cotten - Unsung Movie Great

    Absolutely agree. Joseph Cotton doesn't get the attention he deserves. That deep voice, slight curl smile, someone I find I can't turn off if his face pops up on the tube. The Third Man and Gaslight are unforgettable. I don't much care for Under Capricorn, but he's great as always.

    Favourite Movies From the 1940s?

    Great lists... One of my favorites that I haven't seen listed yet is Gaslight. A period piece, but Joseph Cotton, Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer make a great combo. Another I like that I didn't notice being listed is Nocturne, not so much because it's a great movie, though it's pretty...

    Ah, yes. I remember it well.

    That's a tough one... not being a TV expert, I look back and wonder which were in black and white, and which I only saw in black and white because that's all we had. I agree, the Rifleman for sure. I watched Flipper a good bit. Lost in Space(?) hmmm, not sure if that was broadcast in color...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Hi MikeBravo, You're right. I haven't seen that one. At first I thought nah, but it has a terrific combination of vintage and "century of progress" with that cowling. A really nice step into streamlining the bird and very evocative of the era.

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    My favorites would be the P-40B and C models; more so than the deep radiator models D, E and F. They had a purity of design and flow, very sleek for the day and very finished rivet work compared to later models. I also hold a warm place in my heart for Nieuport 17s, just a lovely, light...

    New Leather Jacket--Opinions, Comments?

    Very interesting closure... what's the inside like? Are the curved seams around the buttons purely ornamental, or do they provide an additional function? Nice color.

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    Good suggestion. I sent an email with some information and a request for some leather samples. I'm looking forward to getting the ball rolling. Talk about tough choices though ... I think I'll defer to John's judgement on which would fit me best, and focus on selecting my favorite leather.

    Eastman Rough Wear A-2 Contract 1401: sz44
