    Civilian Conservation Corps Jackets

    Sharp jacket, me thinks.

    Buzz Cuts ?

    Key advice. I recommend after every substantial use, like a head or full beard. Not necessary for the maintenance trim. Lots of partners out there learning how to do fades. Youtube is full of videos of people learning how to give their fellas fades.

    Fountain Pen

    How deep into inks have you gone? That's a whole universe unto itself. I've heard good things about this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YK224DZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sons wasn't even 1% of the show The Sopranos was. Sons was that terribly written on every level. The characters. The story and subplots. The dialogue. If Kurt Sutter can get show after show put on TV, that reveals you how poor off the writers' situation is in Hollywood. That guy must have...

    You're watching Sons twice? You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din! Once was once too many for me.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I understand these shows need to include elements of romance, but they're so haphazard about it. Why are these people obsessed with each other? When did that happen? And then last night's episode had a huge jump in plot that pretty much came out of nowhere because of one of these unexplained...

    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    When did they go from inking the label directly on the material to an actual sewn-in label? I think I ran into one made in 1966 with the info inked on the green material. Maybe that was an M-51?

    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    When did they start putting buttons on the liners so you could wear the liners by themselves? If I remember correctly, they used to just have holes so you could button them into your jacket. I noticed in some fashion situations that they're also putting knit cuffs on the liners to make them...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Beecham House. PBS. I'm still not sure about this one. I like it, but I wanted to love it.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Downton Abbey. PBS. I've wondered how long they could constantly air this series, and now I know. PBS airing rights end on June 30.

    Leather with Wool Liner

    There area couple of things to consider. 100% wool might not wear well, though I suspect that would be dependent upon the type and weave of wool. That aside, this is one reason why many integrated nylon into a wool blend. Manufacturing cost savings notwithstanding, nylon has the potential to...

    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    That's a funny post following Fifty's.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Barkskins. National Geographic channel. I was a bit wrong about this. I still believe the story is rather weak, but it isn't a complete mess like, say, Vikings. The actors are making this show. I don't think there's a whole lot on page worth discussing, but the quality of acting is good...

    Experimenting With Belt Making.

    Back when they still taught trades in school, one of my first projects was a leather belt. I never wore it. I still have it. Functionally, it would be a nice belt. It's so ugly in design that I'd be ashamed to wear it. Kids. So much crap stamped into the leather. And now I'm a minimalist...

    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    I think this may have been talked about back in the thread, but I'm too lazy to look. Anyone prefer one breast pocket size over another? I know pocket size indicates one era or another. I have one with the smaller breast pockets, and even those can be a hassle to get something out of the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Barkskins. National Geographic channel. This looked like it might be interesting. Similar riffing to Jamestown, but set in New France (Canada). Within the first five minutes I was scratching my head. I'm not someone who looks for problems in a story, but I'm also not someone who can ignore...

    SchottNYC Heavyweight T-Shirt / Worth It ?

    I think this might be it. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/durable-cotton-t-shirts-to-pair-with-leather-jackets.97593/ but this could be it too? https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/preferred-t-shirt-model-brand-under-jacket.95384/

    SchottNYC Heavyweight T-Shirt / Worth It ?

    There's an extensive upper-end white T-shirt thread around here somewhere. I've referred to it plenty, but now I can't find it.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Taking advantage of the free viewing week... High Maintenance. HBO. season 4. I still think this is a smart and interesting show. Even more than with Girls and Insecure, this show really makes me feel from another time and so out of touch with younger generations. Belgravia. Epix...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Evidently, there's an audience for Deadliest Catch 4-6 hours per week. It must be broadcast in 12K too. 3 hours takes up 10% of the DVR memory. I don't mind reality TV, but 4 hours of a single show?
