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...
I admit it, I was a fool. I should've known that just because something's advertised here on FL doesn't mean they do business like we do, nor that their products are quality. BUT I like bowling shirts and other casual summer gear so I pressed on the link here in the lounge and went to their...
As I age, I realize I've seen some great movies in my life. Films that affected me greatly and struck me to the core. I've also come to realize that there are some I can only watch once. Every time these films come up again on TCM or some streaming service I have to pass them by. While I...
I'm not one for "conspiracy theories" BUT these TEMU advertising bars seem to be reading my mind!!!??? Save for the ahem, sexy bits, these demons seem to know EXACTLY what images to show to make my upper lip quiver and my hand lurch towards the mouse involuntarily! Models of WWII fighter...
Late last year I realized, rather belatedly, that I was paying for 2 additional Netflix streaming subscriptions and one DVD plan besides the one I was using. A quick check of my PayPal showed that I was paying for the same stuff THREE TIMES and DVD's to boot. They'd hacked my email, entered my...
If you had, money... I mean REAL money... buy yourself a medium sized nation kinda money.... what film or television series would you produce? Money is no object, any director, producer or actors that you desire can be bought, cajoled or kidnapped, rights will be obtained via any means this...
I've everything but goat and Deer/Elk. I'm looking for a deer or elk skin jacket or coat (non-western... I don't do fringe). Any suggestion as to who can make me one? Any help would be appreciated.

Just got the itch... AGAIN for the first time in many many years. Went to Thurston Bros. website and, since getting down to about a size 48 I've begun looking at some of their other stock items besides Aero which I've plenty of and would like something different. In that I've never owned or...
Growing up in the Housing Projects of NY City (one of Robert Moses' finest) my siblings and I always fantasized about having a dog or cat. Those were strictly verboten by the powers that be so ixnay on the petsay. We did eventually get a "hand me down" parakeet from one of the ladies my mom...
Got an email from Aero stating that due to strange times... in order to keep the staff working they've had to make a good deal of stock due to Horween import delays. So they're offer 25% off on stock jackets and other stuff on hand. Only for 24 hours so. Limited sizes etc...

I've heard talk on the web that "Da Rock" might be playing "Doc Savage" on the big screen. For those who might not know "Doc Savage" was/is part of that special group of "heroes" who pre-dated Superman and Batman by many a year. Their exploits were chronicled in cheaply made magazines called...
Don't hang in these parts much but you'll find pictures of HBO filming "The Golden Age" here in my adopted hometown of Troy, NY in film sub-forum. Enjoy...

HBO's oft delayed series "The Gilded Age" is now filming in Troy, NY (where a certain curmudgeonly lounger lives). A former co-worker of Puddins' owns a historic brownstone they'd recently renovated to "turn of the century" magnificence. Here are some pics of the goings on. Lot's of vintage...
I was doing a little pandemic/Spring cleaning... I dug down into the bottom of my jacket closet looking to clean it out and Goodwill anything I didn't want to keep. In addition to finding a lot of gear way too big for me now I also found something I forgot I had. Cockpit used to make these cloth...
I was driving with a friend the other day and during the course of our conversation I began quoting lines from John Ford's "The Quiet Man" with my best Irish accent in full display. My friend sat in complete silence as I reeled off line after line.... When I realized I was babbling on I ground...
Okay, I'm sure it's been asked and answered but I'm too old and crotchety to read through pages of search results.... Ahem why do some jackets squeak so badly and other's don't. I've a GoodWear A2 that squeaks like mice are having an orgy in my armpits while my Aero A2 is completely silent. Is...
Against our wills and for some of us... against our better natures, many of us are stuck inside for forseeable future... While some of us will still venture outside and carry on a usual... other of us will view this as the perfect time to catch up on things not watched or rewatch stuff lost to...
I just parted out my first rig in a coon's age so I'm here to find out what the folks here are running...
My old rig:
AMD 8350
Radeon R90 Vid card
8 gigs of something.
Thermaltake Level 10 GT case (Combat Edition)
1 TB Samsung SSD
3 TB Enterprise volume drive
Windows 7 (I know... I know)
NO RGB...
I'm getting a new Black/Tea Core A2, my first in a loooooong time. Anyone here still doing handpainted squadron patches? I tried searching but no soap. I know cross-zips are all the rage now but I'm always behind the times.

Many years ago I picked up a used Barnstormer off of ebay. It had a ratty shearling liner and no belt. I sent it to U.S. Authentic and the did a decent job on the lining but I was never satisfied with the belt which had holes and never matched the leather in color. This belt is now way to...
