    US Authentic A-2 Jacket Review!

    Sorry about that. Vintage Leather Jackets III. Here is a link to the thread I mentioned earlier. Note that Skeeter's problems were with the shoddy craftsmanship of the jacket, not it's attention to accuracy. He ordered a custom job and was delivered the euivalent of a factory second...

    What exactly is "Film Noir?"

    To be honest I think Jack Scorpion hit the nail on the head and most of what I have to say is redundant and less articulate than his excellent explanantion. Two cents: There are a few basic factors in my determing what is Noir and what is not, and these are fairly strict guidelines. Many of...

    US Authentic A-2 Jacket Review!

    When it's all said and done, the best bargains on A-2 jackets are still to be found on eBay, regardless of whether you are a high-end snob like myself or just a bargain seeker. By carefully seaching and bidding strategically, I've purchased A-2s by McCoy's, Eastman, and Aero in new or excellent...

    Top Flops.

    Even the sainted CITIZEN KANE was a bit of a flop. Not to mention MR. ARKADIAN and F FOR FAKE. Chaplin's LIMELIGHT as well.

    Ultimate EASTMAN (ELC) flying kit thread.

    I've owned both the ELC and Hartmann. If I had to do it all over I'd get a Hartmann in brown. I've not yet had the problem you speak of on any of 4 Eastman jackets I've owned or currently own, tho I have encountered this problem with both Aero's oil-pull horse and steer.

    Top Flops.

    I think HEAVEN'S GATE doesn't really fit the nature of this thread which I think perhaps mistakenly) is dedicated to major flops that were later regarded as classics. While HEAVEN'S GATE, along with WATERWORLD, is a king among flops, it has not yet proven to become a classic (and hopefully our...

    Top Flops.

    My favorite Martin Scorsese film and one of my favorites period, THE KING OF COMEDY, flopped so badly that his career was derailed for several years. It's reputation has changed somewhat since then.

    The Most "Vintage" US City

    Most of the buildings in both the East and West Village of NYC were built between 1750 and 1900. At night especially certain quieter blocks maintain a distinctly passed-age feel.

    Steve McQueen "Cooler King" sweatshirt look in The Great Escape

    I've seen RMJ's McQueen sweatshirt in Japan. Great packaging but essentially a blue vintage-styled sweatshirt. Japan is lousy with repro sweatshirts at reasonable prices. The Hilts job was nice but not worth the gold bullion they were asking.

    Favorite Pulp/Comic/Radio Heros

    For those reading these posts unacquainted with Will Eisner's great 1940's comic THE SPIRIT, it is simply the greatest non-superhero "hero" series ever put to paper. A work of stupendous genius on every level, a genuine American masterpiece. Reprints are readily available at any good comic book...

    Elegant or Clownish? You decide ...

    Something about that suit reminds of the movie TRON.

    Women go weak for stroking my Teddy Bear flying jacket!! (one crazy story)

    Alan, Thanks for sharing that story. Such a true moment. It may be the huge cup of coffee I just wolfed, but I am suddenly in a tremendous mood!

    Favorite Pulp/Comic/Radio Heros

    Beck's Captain Marvel. Eisner's The Spirit. Cole's Plastic-Man. Easily the cream of the crop among golden age heroes.

    Your Top Ten Golden Era Films?

    That's the re-make. My father still uses the old expresssion "are you trying to Gaslight me?" when he thinks he's being given the run-around.

    In Brooklyn they're also referred to as "Ginny" or "Guinea" tees.

    Jazzwife, Which GASLIGHT have you included on your list, the British original or the Hollywood remake? Both are great.
