    Unseen In The Worse Places [Blackjacks & Saps]

    black, jack There's a great scene in Mulholland Falls where Nick Nolte shows how it's done with a sap, unfortunately it's a crime to carry anything like that here, as I found out when the cops took one off me made out of the brass strap holder from a tram...but that's another story from long...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Mitchum drape I was watching OUT OF THE PAST last week and while checking out Mitchum's trenchcoat I thought it draped like a very soft fabric, not like a Burberry for example, which seem a rather heavier material than that featured in the film...any trivia buff able to shed light on this...

    2Good 2B True?

    Great stuff Thanks Andy, I knew someone here would have the good oil as we say here, great jacket, and the seller not too far from the mark, a bloody bargain I reckon, I never saw one when I was in Amsterdam in the 70's though, but I might have been distracted......
