    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Fare thee well Bob Uecker. Erstwhile Major League Ball Player... Comedian, play by play man and all around funny guy. He'll be missed. Watch "Major League" for those who need a reference. Worf

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    People STILL try and pass. Less so today, but it still happens. It's just done slightly differently now. When questioned some will say they're mixed with "other" races or ethnicities rather than an American Black. Very few people in this world willingly accept their black heritage if they...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I've got one of each. A vintage mid-50's Kersey and a post 80's Melton. Both are pea coats, but to me it's the same as comparing a Yugo to a Rolls, both are automobiles but they sure ain't the same thing. Just my humble opinion. Worf

    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    "The Look", "The Glare", "The Stare" Honed, practiced and used by Educators, Judges, Fathers and Drill Instructors WORLD WIDE for centuries. Worf

    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    "I won"... it's a nice idea and... considering the fates of many friends and family from back in the day, my continued existence is a hard earned victory. However, as a father the game's still in play, if you know what I mean. You always worry when you're a mom or dad. Worf

    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    Well put and quite insightful. It IS about the balance of interior and exterior. Knowing how you wish to be seen as an expression of your "true self" and then doing it. Thank you. Worf

    Who Gets to Wear Workwear?

    Well...... the work wear my parents wore, maid, chauffeur, field hand etc... has yet to migrate up the food chain. Wake me up when it does and perhaps I'll have an opinion. I do hate fads though. The whole "Urban Cowboy" wannabe Trucker fads of the 70's made me physically ill, as did disco...

    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    All my life I've known that I wanted to be "different" in appearance than my fellows. Growing up in the "40 Projects" (read Council Estates), I had neither the money nor aura to sport a Beaver pelt Kangol Cap, Alpaca sweater (from the "Bly Shop" in Harlem) or crepe soled suede "Playboys" shoes...

    How do you treat your hard-to-replace (vintage, expensive/high-end, limited edition, etc.) jackets?

    I've only 3 or so items that I consider "grail" or valuable enough to be considered "Hanger Queens". 1. Good Wear A1 in South African Capeskin brought from a fellow Lounger. Considering the maker and the rareity of the skin feel it definitely belongs in this conversation. Someone'll have to...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    I've been asked many times over the years: "Where's your plane?" "Where's your Mustang?" "What Squadron you with?" I usually say it's parked out back or something equally snarky. Lately I've been confused with being Russian because of my penchant for Canadian "Trappers Hats" in winter...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    My tastes have definitely changed over the years since I wandered into this den of iniquity! 1. I started out wanting and loving A2's, then A1's. 2. Next leather car coats and other jacket styles. 3. Woolens and various Filson brand chore coats 4. Shearling jackets and coats for these cold...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Errrr.... for us knuckle dragging cretins from THIS side of the pond.... WHO IS this guy? Not being snotty, just have no clue. Worf

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    Not an "Indy" per se but THE Good Wear Capeskin A1 "Grail Jacket" passed down to me via the Lounge many, many moons ago. I'd finally lost enough weight to do it justice. Decided to wear this rig to a co-workers memorial service. Worf

    Man from U.N.C.L.E turns 60

    Yeah, you can't reheat soufflé! There were a great many shows of the 60's and 70's that, if watched today, would either illicit gasps of "did they really think that this was entertaining?" Or shouts of rage. Some how I ran across an episode of "Hong Kong Phooey" the other day and I wanted to...

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I went the Leather Route as I wanted something "different" than the milk toast Vanilla outerwear I saw around me at my job. I worked 32 years for the State of New York in it's capital Albany. In the early 80's the place was chock -a - block full of men in grey flannel suits with grey flannel...

    Well, I joined FL as a size 52!!!! I'm now a 46 on a good day, 48 after Thanksgiving Dinner! Still the T.B. is in my regular Jacket rotation and, after having the zipper replaced) it will be for the duration. But if you want impress someone, hand them the jacket and let them feel the heft...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I reviewed "Gabriel Over the White House" before. Said to be one of FDR's faves. I couldn't understand the schizophrenic nature of the plot/script any more than you could. You save America by shredding the Constitution (which you claim to love), declare Martial Law, eliminate all political...
