The Bedford Incident, is a great one. Hard to find though.
Richard Widmark plays a hardened cold-warrior and captain of the American destroyer USS Bedford. Sidney Poitier is a reporter given permission to interview the captain during a routine patrol. The Bedford discovers a Soviet sub in the...
Tom:
Thanks for the information. I was a bit confused, because the information I could find was saying to, "add 10," to the US suit size. Now, it makes sense. Convert Inches to Centimeters, then divide by two.
One more "fit" question for you. I'm trying to buy a rain coat from a company...
Tailor Tom, that WAS very helpful. Thanks for the input. I see it's your first post here. Welcome to the Lounge!
(now, if you have any information on converting a US size, to a European size, I'll have to PM you.:) )
Right! Cagney may be an actor in costume, but in the posted pictures, he is in the 'costume' of a character, who can afford a well tailored, (well fitting) high end suit. He is wearing the suit, rather than the suit wearing him.
Ditto.
B-24 gear, would be similar, if not the same as what the B-17 crews would be wearing. Aft of the radio compartment, would be not only unpressurized, but unheated, as well. Requiring bulky electrically heated flight suits.
B-29's would not require the same gear. Also, remember the...
I've found that Tailored Sportsman works well, for me. And Pikeur, if I'm feeling like spending more. Theirs is a 4-way stretch breech. However, I did have a guy in NYC, that did custom breeches. He did a good job, (was able to do the breeches in the US Army Dress Blues for me) but the last time...
I kind of like Eureka. But, they have come a long way, from their Firefly and Farscape days, not necessarily in the right direction. Now, Bruce Campbell, as the Phantom. That, would have been a blast!
The problem is that, the traditional flared breeches, require a tailor that actually knows what they are doing. A rare breed these days. They can still be found, but it's going to be an expensive prospect.
Even the modern 4-way stretch breeches, are in the $200 dollar range, if you get the...
I have some questions about converting a US coat size, to European sizes. I'm sure this has been addressed as part of another thread, but didn't have much luck with the search feature.
I'm looking to buy a raincoat, and it's going to be a special order, so I want to be able to order the...
Great flick!
Chew bubble gum, and kick ass.

Also, the infamous fight scene. Recreated, in a South Park episode.

In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
And, it continues through the rest of the cartoon, with Snoopy evading capture behind the lines, in occupied France...;)
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything...
I went to a local Oktoberfest, over the weekend, so I'd have to say a good Jager Schnitzel, and a beer! I use venison, when I make it at home. Very tasty.
I'd would have said bratwurst, but I can't seem to find the right half-meter brat, that I had in Germany. You can't get the same ones in...
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany....
The Epic Battle
Here is the WWI Flying Ace, climbing in the cockpit of his Sopwith Camel.

One of the Loungers, does a Norfolk jacket. Bookster Tweeds. Your choice of cloths, and other options. I have one of their tweed hacking jackets. I'm very pleased with it.

Indeed! History does repeat itself. Why is it that we choose to learn the lessons it teaches us, over and over again? We ignore the failures and successes of the past, at our peril.
The only acceptable "man purse," is a briefcase. It has to be leather, made in Germany, and modified by a man named "Q"
