    Taylor's police jacket sale

    With my big gut/hips, the bottom is a bit tight: I'd be fine with those side zips! Actually, I think the elastic side panels will stretch a little with break-in and wear. This is a XL Long, which I didn't need (it meant taking 4" off the sleeves rather than 2"), but there were no XL Regs...

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    Finally got some wear pictures of my new "Chicago": This is a really nice jacket for $199. If you're lucky enough to find one of their jackets in your size while they're just $99, you can't go wrong!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm working my way through the second season of Stranger Things. I didn't like the first season, and I don't like this one. I'm immune to the eighties nostalgia (I was already in my 30s then), I find a lot of the dialog cringeworthy, the plot's half-baked retreads of ideas from better...

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    FYI, they've dropped the Factory Blow Out Sale price to $99 until midnight 12/31. Still lots of models/sizes available. I recently got myself one of their "Chicago" jackets, and was quite impressed with the quality at $199. At $99, these are an absolute steal! Sorry, I've got no pics of mine...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I watched the latest half season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which I've been DVRing. This show was brilliant from the start, and has just gotten better. Simultaneously very funny yet deadly serious. A real gem.

    Wanted: Gibson and Barnes Indy jacket size 48 or 50 long

    Ah, I didn't realize that you were already an expert in these jackets.

    Wanted: Gibson and Barnes Indy jacket size 48 or 50 long

    Seb, some of us appreciate that G&Bs are cut large. For an Indy jacket, you should also consider Wested. Even their custom versions - personalized sizing, choice of hide and detailing - are currently under $300 new. They may not be quite as mil-spec tough as the G&Bs, but they are solid...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Pulling this thread back... Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I was pretty disappointed with it after the universal rave reviews, many calling it the best SW film since Empire. Sure, it ticked off every box for "Star Wars film", but it's too long, and it sacrifices character- and story-building...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Punisher. It held my interest, but like most 13-ep Netflix series it felt like a 10-ep story stretched out with redundant and pointless detours. I'm not a fan of this character (*), but the story did draw me in. It actually did a better Homeland type story than Homeland itself has managed...

    Akubra stiffness

    For what it's worth, my Stylemaster was MUCH softer from day one than of my other Akubra hats. It's got a little floppiness, which I think a fedora should. The Stockman and Cattleman are pre-shaped country hats, and while they will flex a bit, they're stiffer than the Stylemaster. They...

    Thinking Of Getting A New Jacket

    I recently got myself a Taylor's Leatherwear "Chicago" police jacket that's VERY nice for a mere $199 (plus $25 to shorten the sleeves; no tax, free shipping, and it arrived in three days). Not comparable to Lost Worlds or Aero creations, of course, but it's a real police jacket, it's tough and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Wow, that was a while ago. You know, I have liked Snowpiercer even more on subsequent viewings. Sure, it's TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE, but its metaphor of position on the train being your place in the society pecking order is just fascinating. Teacher leading class: "If the Engine stops... We all...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Well as you may recall, I also quit The Last Tycoon after watching the pilot. (It actually made me appreciate the old Elia Kazan/Robert De Niro feature film adaptation more.) Based on your recommendation, I may give TMMM another shot... if I eventually get some time.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The first five minutes of the pilot of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Fading Fast, I know you like it, but it immediately turned me off. I found it just too arch, cartoonishly broad and strident, and I didn't remotely believe in its recreated 1958. And speaking as a Jew, its immediate reliance...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Sorry Lizzie, all I've got is a Pacemaker Crown Graphic - essentially the Speed Graphic without the focal plane shutter that uses the lens-mounted shutters. I've got a bunch of standard 4x5 film holders: send me a PM if you'd like me to mail you some. I've also got a Graphic View II and a...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Working my way through the second season of The Crown. I'm liking it more than the first season, partly because Elizabeth has far more agency during this period, though Claire Foy's performance still largely consists of reacting to things by pursing her lips and looking concerned. And it's...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I was very also impressed with Hacksaw Ridge, despite my feelings for Mel Gibson. A good film of a remarkable story. And I also liked the film of Les Mis... much more than the original Broadway production, which I pretty much hated. Marvel vs. DC films... DC has made many mistakes besides...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    As a child of the idealistic sixties who came of age in the hedonistic seventies, I found myself lost in the eighties as society swung back hard to the Right, and suddenly it was all about money and status. The entire Reagan era was perplexing and disturbing to me, and I - not for the last time...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I loved Ragnarok, but I always have to stick up for the original Thor. It was the trickiest film Marvel Studios had yet attempted at the time - with magic and fantasy rather than technology as its driving principle, and a more goofy, comic-y set of unearthly characters than the Iron Man films...

    Forgotten Advertising Characters of the Era

    I think you mean "Burry's": http://www.metv.com/lists/13-discontinued-cookies-you-will-never-eat-again In the same quick search, I found a pile of other links to pages nostalgic for Burry's cookies, they were classics.
