Here is a link to some behind the scenes photo journal, I think. Either that or they are doing impressions from that time in 1936.

In any case great clothing...

Here is a film that should interest some. "Nordwand", a German production about the first "serious" try of the north face of the Eiger in 1936. Of course it is a foreign language film and it is subtitle in English on the DVD.
I stumbled across this one recently and I was wondering if anyone...
Hey Gijoe!
Questions for you. I was looking though some past posts and came across the photos of you in St. Gotthard from around 2009. In one of the pics you are wearing a Gebirgsjager Wind Jacket.
I was wondering a couple of things. Is it an original or a reproduction? If a reproduction...
The Ushanka image is from the net, right now where I live isn't cold enough to warrant getting one. but maybe when we move up to Oregon I'll get one for up at Mt. Hood or Mt. Adams.
The Bergmutze I recently purchased on e-bay, and with shipping I think it was about $30 total. I should have it...
Two of my favorite cargo aircraft are the Fairchild C-82 Packet and the C-119 Flying Boxcar. For no better reason in that my Father had used them when he was in the Army stationed over in Germany to hitch a ride from base to base.
If I remember correctly both aircraft were used in both...
Yeah, that's what was hitting me, the cowboy/steampunk angle. That and ninjas, what a combination! I usually enjoy watching Geoffrey rush and this is a completely different role for him, so I am interested in seeing how he does with it.
Cheers!

The Stormy Kromer is a good option. Plenty of colors & materials to pick from there.
You could also get a black fur Ushanka sans any insignia. Black is good as it will go with anything, your mackinaw or a dress overcoat. When things turn really cold in the hunting blind you can pull the flaps...
I don't know about the American version. I am so used to watching the U.K. version with Jeremy, Richard & James that nothing else will work for me. It would be like seeing an American version of Doctor Who. It just doesn't work and shouldn't be done. I like seeing stuff about all the European...
For an old silent I rather enjoyed that one the other day. The art of that movie is wonderful for the time. The musical score by Gottfried Huppertz a joy to listen to, and you can hear where John Williams got some of his inspiration for his scores in Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Shame they...
This one just popped up on my Radar today, The Warrior's Way. Geoffrey Rush in an Western/Asian action flick. Looks like a fun popcorn film with all the impossibilities coming to life.

Yep! The ones that pop up on ebay go for a small fortune and there isn't a vendor in the U.S. that has any in stock. There are a couple in the U.K. but after exchange rates, shipping & customs it is a small fortune again.
Cheers!

I know what you mean. They did fit for the most part and were the perfect width so the feet were supported from side to side, but I could tell that my toes would have been banging on the front of the toe box on a decent and they didn't have any size greater than a 10 (Swiss 28). Socks thicker...
Heck, I wish we could get all those wonderful fall colors in our area. Middle of California isn't too spectacular for leaf peeping and photography.
Cheers!

Well, the Swiss Boots arrived and they are going straight back. Their version of a size 10 boot is too small on my feet. They did need a good cleaning but that would have been the easy part if they had fit. My guess is the age of the boots and sitting around in storage for so long shrank the...
