    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    Last night I went to the HBO website for The Pacific and spent an hour or so digging around there. It was time well spent and provided more historical context for the series. I recommend any of you who are interested in the series and/or the history do so. Lots of actual footage, analysis by...

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    I believe he was referring to the scene when they killed the Marine by hitting with a shovel in order to quiet him down. I have little doubt that actually happened. Why include it? It's a pretty graphic way to show how much pressure the Marines were under and how close the Japanese solders...

    Critique my Aero Long Half Belt order

    Better too long than too short. I went back and forth with Amanda a few times and in the end I think my LHB is perfect. Personally, I like the front pocket - gives the coat a little more dimension. As for the lining - if I were ordering over again it would be gabardine. Easy on and easy...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Nor have I forgotten about you all. Unfortunately life has been out of control for the past few days and tomorrow my wife and I head out on vacation so.... This much I'll tell you: it's granite in lightweight felt with a thin ribbon that shows a touch of deep green and binding around the...

    Up to 25,000 died in Dresden's WWII bombing - report

    Sorry but what happened to the 6,000,000,000 victims of the Nazi government was a "hideous holocaust" not the bombing of Dresden.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I agree about the Whites. I just can't take mine off and I wear them almost every day. I have never had a pair of shoes that felt better than these do. Worth every penny - and them some.

    Aero lining suggestions.

    Amanda is back from holiday and I found out it 80 pounts to have a jacket relined and will take approximatly 8-weeks to complete. Now to figure out which lining I want to proceed with: cotton twill or gabardine. I am leaning toward bottle green or brown twill. Something to consider before...

    Aero lining suggestions.

    I had not thought about that but my initial thought is that I have spent a lot of time in my jacket over the past 8-months and it is finally starting to feel broken in. I really don't want to have to start over again, but.... Thanks

    Aero lining suggestions.

    Jan (or anyone else), Can Aero replace the lining in a jacket? If so, I may send mine back this summer and have it re-lined. Would there be any downside to that? Thanks, JDG

    Aero lining suggestions.

    I have a FQHH LHB with the Common Ridding wool lining and the ONLY thing I would change is the lining. I would go with the cotton twill. It's easy to throw on another layer to keep warm.

    He's working on a lightweight granite for me right now. Just trying to nail down a ribbon color. (Suggestions?) JDG

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    What material is the story based on? Two of the three main characters wrote books based on their experiences (Helmet for a Pillow, is one), and then there is Spielberg's reputation for historical accuracy, so while the stories so far may not have been what we expected, there is little reason to...

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    I too wish there were a little more historical commentary before/after the episode. Example: what were the tolls of wounded and killed and how long did the battle last. That last scene in Episode 2 got me - I choked up. "Everybody has heard of Guadalcanal. The 1st Marines are on the front...

    Aero leather jacket, not sure how to measure myself

    Call Amanda and/ or measure the length of the sleeve for one of your jackets that has a sleeve length you want to duplicate. Measure from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the sleeve and also along the seam (usually starts in the armpit). Or you can give her the size of a dress shirt...

    Hey New Yorkers - need a recommendation

    No. Back in Michigan. We'll be back out again in June. I am already looking forward to it. Cheers, DG

    Hey New Yorkers - need a recommendation

    Thanks for the replies. With the rain and the fact we were exhausted we ended up going to Lombardi's on Spring. It really was not what I was looking for but the pizza was good. We try to make it to the city at least 2-3 times a year and we had a great time. Three shows, lots of walking and...
