On yer bike!
Welcome to the Lounge Alan - nice looking bike, and the tour sounds like a good ride out. Carradice still make excellent stuff - I've been considering their Barley Saddlebag or the Courier bag to use on my commute on the Bianchi Pista I mentioned upthread a while ago (if the thing ever...- Salv

Jeans
No, Dean wore Lee in Rebel Without A Cause as well - here's a screen shot, and you can see the Lee Lazy S pocket stitching and the small black Lee label at the top left hand corner of the rear right pocket. Seriously, look out for the Levi 505's in a dry, shrink-to-fit finish, then wear them...- Salv

Jeans
A good bargain pair of high-rise, straight leg jeans are the current Levi's 505. I bought a pair in New York recently at Dave's New York - formerly Dave's Army & Navy - in dry/rigid denim for just $28.00. They are very good quality denim, stiff and dark with that great unwashed denim...- Salv

Well done, sir! Incidentally, there's a Jeans thread in this same folder with lots of photos of repro Levi, Lee and Wrangler jeans. Levi's LVC range usually include a couple of models with braces buttons including these 1933 repros And here's a pair of 1933s with a few years of wear in them- Salv

Is there a Billie Holiday film?
It's a wonderful film. I've got a VHS copy of it somewhere in my pile of old tapes - I'll have to dust it off and watch it again. I remember completely identifying with Francois in his adoration of an ageing Afro-American musician. O/T but I think it helps that it had a European director -...- Salv

The Spanish Civil War
Where have you read this? I'd be interested in reading more. The Brigades were first suggested by the Soviets, and so were always Communist-run, and I can readily believe that the difficulties volunteers had in returning home were due to Soviet intereference. However, the impression I have is... -

The Spanish Civil War
While in New York a couple of weeks ago I visited the Museum of the City of New York for their exhibition Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War which runs until August 12th. From the museum's website: It's an excellent exhibition, with personal effects of some of the volunteers... -

Your most non-vintage preference or attributes ...
Don't run, we'll face off the fedora guys together... Also there's very little pre-WW2 jazz that I like; it's mostly a little too polite and the drummers tend to be very bashful - that constant, unchanging tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk rhythm on the hi-hat just sends me to sleep.- Salv

On yer bike!
I love that area too - I once spent a long weekend with my cousin cycling around Cumbria, staying at Youth Hostels. We drove up with touring and racing bikes, left the car in Ambleside, with the racing bikes locked in the car, and rode between hostels over some brutal climbs, including Kirkstone...- Salv

Pomade
Sweet Georgia Brown in the blue tin is closest in texture to Murray's - thick and stiff with excellent hold. I haven't used Murray's for about 15 years, but from what I remember of it I think SGB blue isn't quite as stiff, and it washes out a little easier. SGB in the red tin is thinner and...- Salv

Sorry jake, I've only just seen this - after some head scratching the only thing that comes to mind is that you said you'd send me something in return for the Stiff documentaries. Is that what you mean?- Salv

Amy Winehouse
I haven't heard all of the latest album, but her first album Frank is great. Jazzy arrangements with some hip-hop beats, and cynical lyrics about love and relationships sung in a gutsy, world-weary voice.
