    Miller Hats - no longer decent quality?

    I doubt that Miller is "better" than the less-expensive (and beloved here) Akubra Federation IV. https://hatsdirect.com/collections/the-akubra-range-1/products/federation-iv-open-crown

    Ladies Wool Peacoats

    I got my daughter a Fidelity pea coat in her teens, and I thought it well made for the price. It was lighter than my own Sterlingwear (I think 24oz, not 32oz wool-blend), but it was a solid, stylish, American-made coat, definitely a lot better than most department store versions. Alas, it was...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I liked that it showcased a more experienced and formidable Doctor Strange, now sure of his powers, bouncing them around the Sanctum effortlessly and so forth. No longer the newbie he still was at the end of his own film, now behaving more like the Sorcerer Supreme.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I liked Thor: Ragnarok a lot too. But I had one small complaint: all of the Asgardians from the earlier Thor films were accounted for... except Lady Sif. She's not even dismissed in dialog like Jane Foster... so I kept expecting her to show up and be heroic. (Sure,I know it's because Jamie...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Thanks for bursting my balloon, Lizzie. I hadn't heard that the NY mag story was bogus until now. I thought it was a good bit of reportage and analysis at the time. D'oh! And of course there's not much "originality" to the story, its universality and relatability was a part of its success...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Picking up on what a couple of you have said... I have always thought, and still think, that Saturday Night Fever is a good film that captures a lot of things about 1976/1977 very accurately. I hasten to add that I had no interest in disco myself at the time - in fact, I has a major Deadhead...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Marvel's Inhumans - still terrible in its penultimate episode of the season... and likely, the series. Undoubtedly the weakest, worst conceived and executed of all the Marvel Studios-produced series on ABC and Netflix. I've stuck with it because I'm an old-school Marvel fan (*), and the...

    Beldtaff A-2 civilian

    This jacket also has handwarmer pockets, snaps on the top and bottom of the windflap, three-piece sleeves, an inside wallet pocket, incorrect lining, etc. Very much an "A-2 inspired" jacket. There's nothing wrong with that - my most-worn jacket is a Gibson & Barnes Civil A-2 with some of the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Disagree completely, I thought it was awful. Its main idea - letting people's like/not like clicks decide social status - is totally ripped off from the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive", and most of the other things in it were borrowed from classic TNG episodes (*)... notably one of my personal...

    Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?

    I've had five Akubras over the last 15 years, all size 57 (7-1/8). Four of them (Stylemaster, Campdraft, Stockman, Cattleman) were about a half size too big at first and I put some padding behind the sweatbands, then after some weeks/months of wear the sweatbands conformed and I removed the...

    Peter Botwright (Wested Leather), RIP

    Very sad. Peter was from all reports a great guy. And while Wested jackets get little respect from the hardcore jacketeers here, they provide good value at the less expensive end of the scale - where else can you get a decent leather jacket personally customized for size/details in the $300...

    Star Trek

    I have frequently said here that I don't care for DS9, that it's the only Trek series that does nothing for me... But that particular episode is outstanding!

    Pocket Knife

    I've got one of those Case Trapperlocks, it's a beaut. So nice that I don't actually carry it. When I want a knife in my pocket, it's usually a Buck 302.

    Star Trek

    Get your facts right, please. There was no "shoe string budget". Star Trek was one of the most expensive series on TV when it aired, with state of the art 1960s production values and effects. (The budget was eventually severely cut for the third season as part of NBC's efforts to kill the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    In the NYC market, Dark Shadows aired at 4pm, and therefore was nearly daily afterschool viewing for many of us. Sure, it was done cheap and fast and was loaded with missed cues and mistakes - not to mention endlessly stupid absurd plots - but when I was 12, 13, 14, it was my beloved "spook...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I was very disappointed in the new Beauty and the Beast. I didn't think it added anything worthwhile to the 1991 animated classic, which is by far my favorite of the latter-day Disney animated films. Sure, it's longer... and loaded with uncanny valley characters and CGI overkill. It adds some...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's been freaky warm in these parts, pushing up into the low seventies nearly everyday. Normally, it's leather-jacket-over-a-sweater weather by now, but my At The Front "summer" (cotton lining instead of flannel) M-1941 has been perfect over a T-shirt.

    Levi's Smart Jacket (It's the end of the world as we know it . . . and I DO NOT feel fine)

    As unnecessary as I find this concept, these will find favor with young folks who love to be on the bleeding edge of technology. The ones that in a decade will be get getting permanent implants so they can be connected all the time without even touching a device. We are Borg. Resistance is...

    Lightweight leather for warmer weather?

    At the risk of incurring the wrath of the faithful... lambskin is lighter than goat or cow. Yes, it's also less tough than other hides, and thus a poor choice for a spec military jacket or motorcycle jacket. But it's still leather, and nowhere near the tissue-paper fragility folks here often...
