Yoo hoo...Martin!...there's an for a vintage S506XX "duration" jacket up on an auction site right now that has a great close-up photo of the two pronged buckle Levi's used to use.
The Talon zips MASH sells are not reproductions. The zips that Eastman says are NOS Talons (with the unmarked sunburst stopper box) are identical to the zips on many wartime civilian and military jackets I have currently own or have sold.
Virtually of the early cinchback models had long prongs on the buckles, eventually with the 506XX jacket (obviously the last of Levi's cinchbacked products) they switched to a buckle with little bitty teeth. None of the LVC US repos I've seen yet have come with a prong buckle, tho many Japanese...
???!!!
All that junk above is what makes old denim so damn cool. Come. throw on your 30's workwear and we'll collectively flip off the besuited swingdancing snobs!
Golden Bear of California have nothing to do with "the Golden Bear", Jack Nickalus. They have been around at least since the 1930's, possibly earlier, when Nickaulus was still learning his abc's. I have a Golden Bear horsehide motorcycle jacket from the mid 40's that is one of my favorites, very...
The academy can go jump in a lake as far as I am concerned and hopefully Marty feels the same way. I hate to be so hard on the chap but the is the guy who brought us TAXI DRIVER and THE KING OF COMEDY! The unmitigated crap is been feeding us the past 15 years is so far below his previous...
Alas, it aint the pomade but that wicked old Father Time. Your boyfriend's scalp is leaving puppyhood and delving into dogdom and there's really no going back. Happens to the best of 'em. Shelve the RC and break out the rogaine.
Rented it last night.
Lukewarm bowl of unsalted tripe. Pointless, meandering, untense shoot-em-up with hammy performances, slopped-up choppy editing, and an all around lack of focus. The last ten minutes devolve into such a predictable sludge that I was almost insulted. It's becoming...
I had one and sold it quick. The shoulders were oversized and drooped. Also didn't like like way the cuffs were attached to the sleeves. Crap zipper. Better off spending a few bucks more and gettin g an Aero Real Deal.
Ah yes. That's the one! Loved it. I went to see it with a woman who had decided to give up lesbianism to go out with me, but that's another story. A worthy follow up to the great WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE.
Just watched this one again. What a hilarious flick. My girlfriend is friends with the guy who played Vlad, and boy is funny!
Apparently this is also David Bowie's favorite movie.
Spoiler: for sadistic dengerates only!
Haha! Too true. There's a certain great KING OF THE HILL episode that deals with exactly that situation.
But...if someone unjustly picks on you or and you don't do anything about it, you yourself are either a martyr or an a-hole (which can often be the same thing.) Not fighting back strips...
You should see the film, judge for yourself, and then share your thoughts. All the subjects explain themselves in their own words, there is no narration or hidden agenda. All the principal subjects had approval of the final cut. Best documentary I've seen in a long time, really helped me better...
