    Current fashion

    bickering? I posted the article because A: I'd never heard of this bloke B: I think it's an amusingly caustic diatribe with some interesting things to say hidden in there and thought others might also agree. C: There are and have been lots of views expressed in this forum about modern...

    Current fashion

    We all seem love knocking it, but I had to share this Obit, it's quite funny and sad at the same time http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/fashionistas-are--freaks-phoneys-and-airheads-20100215-o1hj.html

    Brando jackets

    trade wars Of course, it's a well-known fact that when Britain joined the Common Market (as it was then)in the 60's it torpedoed the Australian dairy industry which had preferential treatment over European sources, which is why a lot of old country towns in old dairy country have virtually no...

    Brando jackets

    the wool trade I have two Australian made Norwellan Mills OSHKOSH jackets with virtually identical pattern and colour wool, I wonder if it was exported to the UK to make those things! It might well have happened before the UK joined the Common Market...

    Ladies in the trenches

    tag There is no tag that says that, it's 'been removed", every 'women's' trench coat I can find by googling has no gun flap.

    Ladies in the trenches

    Having a dispute with my nephew about trench coats..I showed him one on the bay with the gun flap on the left, and because the lister says it is 'women's size 14' he thinks it's a girl's coat...I assumed that the women's version by big makers has no gun flap so it's wrongly described, and as a...

    The Holmes Fedora

    nonsense I thought it was a load of old cobblers personally, but very entertaining in its own right. I'm not a Holmes fanatic, but I have read them all and vastly prefer the Jeremy Brett incarnation, however, this is a Hollywood picture people, and they had him in contemporary situations...

    The Real McCoys TV show

    great role I thought his finest moment, as it was for pretty much everyone else in one of the GREATEST films of all time, let alone the 50's, is BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK.

    Type B flying helmet sold for 2.700£!!!

    Our Man Sid While checking up on the Sidcot suit, I found that the inventor was a very interesting bloke, one of those classic world-trotting Aussies of the old days,he definitely got around in all senses of the word....I seem to recall a TV doco about him some years back that focussed more on...

    The Red Baron

    dread the baron Well it finally made it to our outback video store....and wasn't worth the wait, what a load of old tripe, poor CGI, dud eurogabble english, stilted script anyway, a very poor effort....I still say there hasn't been a decent WW1 ace film since the Blue Max, and that wasn't much...

    Woo and more Tigers

    Big Picture I wonder who could play Vinegar Joe, someone like Chris Cooper maybe? A serious overview of the whole period is to be found in this...a rewarding read: http://www.amazon.com/Stilwell-American-Experience-China-1911-45/dp/0802138527

    Woo and more Tigers

    I read that Joh Woo is doing, or will do, a film about the Flying Tigers, a big budget Chinese effort. I wonder how the politics of the time will be treated, although the Chicoms would still have no love for the nationalists...lots of work for some repro jacket makers though we can assume!
