    What are good Swing Dance movies, like Swing Kids?

    Further for lovers of swing and dance, BIG BAND JAZZ & SWING 6 disc DVD set of 63 musical shorts from Warner Archives is a must have. Covers the period from 1930's to 40's. The quality is excellent. The Jean Negulesco directed swing shorts on disc 6 from the 40's are particulary outstanding and...

    "The Grizzly"

    This one from the Aero website is the look I like. A nice balance between fur and leather and not too hardcore looking.

    Goodwear / Diamond Collaboration is live... at intro price

    I can't understand why the coyote did not sue ACME for product liability. He has a very good case.

    Goodwear / Diamond Collaboration is live... at intro price

    GW has already rebranded its ACME jackets to AERO on its website. The GW/DD colaboration appears to be a seperate entity and not covered by the licence agreement with Aero.

    New Aero Kradjacke, First Look

    While the Pegasus jacket is very attractive as a stand alone jacket it is just a pastiche of what a period Marseille jacket should look like at least on that guy. The cut and fit is far too loose and modern. More like the current puffed up retro Mini's, Volkswagan's and Fiat's than a Morgan.

    New Aero Kradjacke, First Look

    I wish I could rotate the photo. My IPad keeps reversing it.

    New Aero Kradjacke, First Look

    Looks too Prussian for my tastes. A duelling scar from corner of lip to earlobe and waxed moustache may pull off the look. I prefer this style of early German motorcycle jacket. This one tarted up like Luftwaffe with shoulder pads and massive oversized Ri Ri pocket zippers. This I believe is...

    Adding a throat clasp to repro A2

    There must have been a logical reason for putting in a throat latch. Perhaps to stop prop wash getting under the collar. Only reason I could think of having one.

    Original A2?

    Airforce personel in many countries seem to have had some liberties with what they chose to wear in the olden days. A perk of the Golden Age glamour of being a flier to flaunt some individuality perhaps? Many movie stars who enlisted gravitated to the airforce like Clark Gable, James Stewart...

    Original A2?

    I don't think policing stich for stich accuracy would have been a high priority in the war years.

    It has Begun - The GW waiting list

    Wow two years. Not for me, gives life's uncertainties a better chance for unwelcome intrusions. I like A2 jackets but not well enough to wait that long. But I imagine that patient buyers who want exacting requirements will be well satisfied. My recently arrived Aero Real Deal A2 in under six...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Check out these boots. As righteous a pair of heavy metal clodhoppers one could ever find. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201228655803?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1169wt_1105

    Mr. Moto gets a boxed set

    Hi, I have both Mr Moto box sets covering every title. The quality is really good and can thoroughly recommend them. Mr Moto unlike the gentle thinking Charlie Chan has a taste for violence and likes to beat up adversaries with his judo moves and then make a quip similar to how James Bond...

    The waiting is the hardest part ....

    Just got shipping confirmation for my Aero Real Deal A2. Ordered 20th October or five weeks ago. Waiting times have reduced markedly from Aero. My previous order from them in early August took 8 weeks and that was from a quoted 4-6 months wait as stated on their website at the time. Now...

    Vintage radio on CDs

    You can try Radio archives. I have quite few of their radio serials and music discs. Good quality sound too. http://www.radioarchives.com/Music_s/48.htm

    RUM?!

    Never tried that one but I expect it will be superb as you say. I will keep an eye out for it. Premium Havana Club appears in dribs and drabs here and also hard to find. Currently I can buy the Havana Club Gran Reserva 15 years old for $199 but I seriously doubt it is much beter value than the...

    Biker jacket

    I grew up around motorbikes when a kid but after a serious and tragic accident I lost my passion and drifted away from the scene. I still admire a nice bike I might see and think wow but not for me. I also admire a nice classic bike jacket no matter who wears one. I now only associate with...

    RUM?!

    We are lucky here in Australia that we can buy Santiago De Cuba, the Anejo, Blanco and premium 12 years old. These would have to be the best rums in their class I have ever drunk for value, smoothness and flavour. I also like the darker rums like Goslings Black Seal and Myers's. And honourable...
