Coldest Weather I've been in
It's just insanely cold here - it was subzero overnight, and is supposed to go lower tonight. It's only up to 8 degrees now at midday. I've been wearing an MA-1 over a fleece anorak, with a hat and gloves... but only to run from the car to the store and such. It's just too cold to stay...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
The Netflix miniseries Alias Grace, about a proto-psychologist investing a housemaid imprisoned for murder in mid-1800s Canada. Based on a true story and the Margaret Atwood novel derived from it. Very well done, quite fascinating and disturbing. With an excellent lead performance by Sarah...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I watched that PBS series too, Lizzie. At the time I already had friends who'd begun collecting Super 8 films - Chaplin and Laurel & Hardy shorts, Phantom of the Opera, The General - plus our local museum did a silent film series I attended, seeing other classics like The Cabinet of Dr...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
There's no question that it was conscious: The Fugitive was a very successful show/formula, and it provided a familiar framework to house the comic book fantasy elements. The Incredible Hulk was pretty much The Fugitive - wrongly accused hero on the run helps people everywhere he goes, then has...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
She's just amazing in this, simply luminous. And the film itself is a very sophisticated psychological piece for its day. Boy, director Victor Seastrom (Sjostrom) made some great silent movies (like the especially masochistic Lon Chaney film He Who Gets Slapped)... though he's also a hero of...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Wind, a silent classic with Lillian Gish that's been on my to-see list for decades. It actually lived up to its reputation.- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
My parents weren't fans of science fiction, but they very much were fans of Rod Serling's writing during the golden age of TV drama, so they watched the Zone. In fact, when I was around 7 or 8, I watched some episodes from the last couple of seasons along with them during their original...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I watched the first two Black Mirror episodes - after only having seen a couple of the most-buzzed-about eps from the earlier seasons - and agree that they're good. And yes, as a since-1966 Trekker, I got a special kick out of "USS Callister" too. I'd take it over The Orville anytime! But you...- Doctor Strange

Taylor's police jacket sale
It appears that the $99 sale did NOT end at midnight 12/31. The sale page is still showing prices of $99. Just now, I was able to select a jacket at that price and get through to the payment details page without getting flagged that the price had changed (though I canceled out at that point...- Doctor Strange

USAuthentic A2 question about a detail
I'm at a much lower level of fixation - and budget - than many folks here. I do have a Good Wear (from a few years back, when they were still under a thousand dollars), and it is sufficient to my needs as an accurate WWII A-2 repro. The truth is, I wear some of my jackets that cost a quarter of...- Doctor Strange

USAuthentic A2 question about a detail
Fanch, one of my G&B jackets is from their Historical series, the M-422A. Its fit is virtually identical to my G&B Civil A-2 - both are 46R - only differing in how the design/construction of the styles differ. So I don't think that they sized the Historical models differently. (And why would...- Doctor Strange

1890 Spy Camera in Oslo
I've got both this III-s and a B. I used to shoot color in the B, but stopped when Minox Processing Labs went out of biz a decade or so ago. I develop the b/w myself (my parents were pros, I grew up working in a b/w studio.) I have been slitting 35mm and reloading the Minox cassettes myself...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I woke up to the ugly New Year's news today that my cable system dropped half my movie channels! A carriage dispute between Optimum's new owner, Altice, and Starz has meant the loss of around 18 Starz and Starz Encore channels, to be replaced with dreck like another Hallmark...- Doctor Strange

1890 Spy Camera in Oslo
Very cool. A vanished world. I've owned a number of Minox "spy cameras" since their heyday in the spy-craze sixties, and actually still have a roll of b/w film in this one: People think miniaturization is a recent idea, but the Minox design dates to the 1930s! Its inventor didn't plan on...- Doctor Strange

USAuthentic A2 question about a detail
Fanch, he's already got one and is looking to improve it. He knows all about those details. Just to clarify on sizing - at least as was true in my experience nearly 15 years ago, when I got my US A and G&B A-2s (it may no longer apply): Gibson & Barnes jackets are oversized, period. US A...- Doctor Strange

Ask a question, get an answer
B!Wear caps are still just $35 (just like when I got mine 12 or 13 years ago!), and definitely good quality at that price. Note that they're eight-panel newsboy caps, not simple flat caps. Not sure if that's what you're looking for. http://mariposa.yosemite.net/bwear/ But I have to caution...- Doctor Strange

The Music Never Stopped on Netflix. An indie film from a few years ago that I've been on the lookout for, about a father (the great J.K. Simmons) and son who fall out in 1970 when the son leaves home to be a rock musician rather than go to college. Sixteen years later, they're reunited after...- Doctor Strange

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Very nice, Atticus! I have one of ATF's summer-weight M-41s, and it got plenty of use back in September/October. A great design! Today, it's crazy cold here, so I'm not planning on stepping outside. But I'll put up a shot of my latest jacket, a Taylor's Leatherwear "Chicago" police jacket...- Doctor Strange
