    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Lizbeth Scott for a night, as long as my gat was nearby.

    Wow this is spooky... Check this out.

    I had pizza in London once. It arrived at my table wearing peas and eggs. I looked around and all of the other diners were eating their pizza with forks and knives. Odd birds, Londoners.

    Hurricane Katrina

    I live about a ten minute walk from where the Twin Towers used to be. I watched them fall. What's happening in New Orleans seems to me to be far, far worse. By this I am not referring to human life lost or damage incurred but by the way it's been handled. When we were attacked, things were...

    WWII Army Officers Dress Shoes

    Asked the old man about this matter. According to him, black shoes and boots were Nineteenth Century blue uniform fare and were phased out with the introduction of khaki uniforms, thus brown shoes and boots becoming the norm. Apparently, this continued throughout the Korean War, when eventually...

    WWII Army Officers Dress Shoes

    My father, who was in the Army for twenty years, told me that when he first joined up (1961) older officers were known as "brown shoe army". This was not a term of affection.

    If Spielberg retired today...

    Screenplay: John Huston Music: Bernard Herrmann Cinematography: John Alton Producer: Howard Hughes Director: Raoul Walsh ...would do a bang-up job I'm sure. Imagine what a David Lean or Akira Kurosawa Indy film would be like.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    No expert here, but I've heard that older models have pockets lined in corduroy (I suspect I may have mispelled this word.)

    Vintage 50's Pants For Sale

    These would fit me fine. If nobody else has spoken for the trousers yet, I'll take 'em.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Paddy nailed it dead on. A-1s and A-2s were just not designed for the fuller figured man, and refiguring the cut compromises the spirit of the originals. Stouter fellows should strongly consider the wide variety of vintage civilian jackets Aero reproduces wonderfully. Regarding the fit of Aero's...

    G-8 jacket anyone?

    Aero Cossack Jacket I won one of these with very little wear on eBay two weeks ago for $149. I was the only bidder, which amazed me. It is a fantastic jacket, heavy and cut to be worn snug, compares quite favorably to my vintage jackets. I'll post pictures later.

    Pomade

    I've been using Murray's for thirteen years. I just run the open can under a hot tap for thirty or forty seconds and douse my hands and scalp with said hot water before scooping and applying, then comb away. Hell on a pillow case, but grand stuff.

    Screen Names...

    Brando's reference to a Brody refers specifically to Steve Brody, who in 1886 claimed to have jumped off the off the newly minted Brooklyn Bridge and survived. For many years afterward to take a fall and survive intact was known as "doin' a Brody." Incidentally, immediately following the "stunt"...

    My screen name corresponds with my Grandfather Bob's favorite toast.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean...could you explain this more clearly?
