    Wested vs us wings Indy jackets

    I suggest that you get it from Wested and pay a bit extra for custom sleeve length, all-cotton lining, choice of hide, etc. It'll still cost MUCH less than the off-the-rack US Wings. I've been wearing my lambskin Raiders jacket for 20 years and it's still going strong as my "summer weight"...

    Looking for a Vistascope 16mm attachment by Old Delft (1950s era)

    Hmm... I've been following filmmaking and photo equipment since the 1960s, but I never heard of this thing! You might be better off asking about this on more specialized photo equipment forums like photo.net and phototrio.com, or even better, 16mm filmmaking-oriented sites.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched that Fellini film, Il bidone, last year. Very good, and I'm not the world's biggest Fellini fanboy. Babylon (2022), written/directed by Damien Chazelle. Let me preface this review by noting that I HATED Chazelle's previous films (Whiplash, La La Land, First Man), and it hurts...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    You're both right! I saw both of those films in theaters when I was 10, and many times since. I watched two recent biopics about authors, with both films named for their first names(!), and both stories largely fictitious... Emily, about Emily Bronte and how this "oddball loner" wrote...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Sky Captain was received with much excitement here when it came out, there are definitely threads about it. I took my kids to see it theatrically and got the DVD. And yeah, it looks cool and it's fun... for a while. As far as "the vision" of director Kerry Conran, that's the problem. He was...

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    That's a porkpie hat. They're out there, both from custom hatters and major makers. There are crappy cheap wool ones, and much nicer fur felt ones. https://www.delmonicohatter.com/category/PorkPie.htm https://www.hats.com/mens/shop-by-style/pork-pies And better...

    Hey Worf, I liked it too! https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/indiana-jones-v.85388/page-39#post-3021542 Last night on Netflix, the recent Living with Bill Nighy, about a repressed English civil servant in the 1950s who receives some very bad news. Living is a remake of Ikiru, a 1952...

    Indiana Jones V

    I saw the film yesterday afternoon in an empty theater - there was just one other couple. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to see it theatrically (but finally decided I'd seen the other four in theaters the week they'd opened, so why not?) and went in with VERY low expectations... but I liked...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I also really enjoyed The Gilded Age and am looking forward to the second season. And "Mrs. Astor's mansion" was shot at one of my old stomping grounds, the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, which was built around the 1877 "Glenview" mansion...

    Hey Fading Fast, are you aware that there's also a "Page Miss Glory" Warner Bros. cartoon? It's an early Termite Terrace gem, a color Merrie Melodie, made the same year as the feature (yeah, there was corporate content synergy even then!) directed by Tex Avery. It features some cool Deco...

    I thought Empire of Light was good, but not great. Everything Roger Deakins shoots is a treat to watch. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-was-the-last-movie-you-watched.20830/page-1524#post-2981993

    A2 Red Knit?

    Yes. Notably those made by Aero Leather in Beacon, NY. (Which, coincidentally, is where I'm sitting and typing this... Alas, the city's entire riverside factory district, including the Aero factory, was razed in the seventies for urban renewal.) http://www.acmedepot.com/a2jacket/index.shtml

    Essential Marvel Comics artist JOHN ROMITA. While not quite a staggering creative genius at the level of Kirby, Ditko, Adams, Steranko, etc... he was an outstanding artist - especially good at character drama, not just action - and a vital part of the Marvel organization, acting as onsite art...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I know a lot of us enjoyed this series: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/perry-mason-canceled-hbo-2-seasons-1235508659/ I had mixed feelings about the show, but I was definitely looking forward to another season!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I gave the new (German) version of All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix a look. Disappointing. The classic 1930 version is twice as effective in half the running time. This one is mainly just endless, graphic battlefield carnage a la 1917 and the characters - and specifics of its...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    After skipping the last couple of Marvel films, I dragged myself to a theater for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. Alas, I didn't like it. Too long and overstuffed, very self-indulgent (as third films often are), and while they wanted this to cap the "trilogy", not all the endpoints for the...

    Questions: The lowdown on Palm Leaf hats...

    I was underwhelmed by the Sunbody "Open Road" I got last year. It was much heavier than my 20-year-old Stetson Panama, and frankly it read as way too much of a "cowboy hat" for this part of the country. It was big and heavy to wear: it was just too much hat for me. I had stupidly followed...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Yeah, this is NOT your (grand)father's Perry Mason. Same character names, different century! Where the old Raymond Burr series was about a crusading lawyer saving his clients through legal brilliance in a (literally) black and white world, this one is about a 1930s Los Angeles where EVERYONE...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw this in theaters when it came out, a very enjoyable flick. Neil Simon had fallen in love and married Marsha Mason a few years before writing this film, and the love is there in the character: there's more real feeling and less schtick than usual for a Neil Simon script. But I notice that...
