    Dudewutheheck is right. Just snip off those threads if they bother you. They serve no purpose. - Ian

    James Dean Jacket

    They did not discuss provenance other than it was worn my James Dean in the movie. I looked closely, but the lining was not visible. The label was not shown. - Ian

    James Dean Jacket

    This morning, the CBS early show mentioned the auction of the original (or I guess it’s one of the orginal) jacket. Showed footage of the particular jacket. - Ian

    Chukka or Chelsea, Pebble Grain or Suede

    Oh, to clarify, I do like both styles, but I don't care for suede or pebble grain. If I had to choose one from the two, I'd go with pebble grain. - Ian

    Chukka or Chelsea, Pebble Grain or Suede

    I'm speaking of quality. In my experience, they're made well. For me, they've held up, over the years, while being a pedestrian on the sidewalks of NYC. - Ian

    Chukka or Chelsea, Pebble Grain or Suede

    I'm not sure I'd choose either style, at this point. But, I'd had a lot of experience with Frye and I've found them to be pretty darn good. - Ian

    Buzz Rickson or Eastman Navy Chambray Shirt

    About, 15 years ago, I purchased an unissued/unused either USN or maybe civilian/prison chambray shirt circa 1940s or 50s. I wear it, wash and dry it, as well. It has faded slightly, in that time, but it still soldiers on. Of course, it’s faded slightly more in the collar area. - Ian

    Buzz Rickson or Eastman Navy Chambray Shirt

    I can tell you that the BR USN chambray shirt is very nice, well made and fits neatly. Additionally, I've had it for several years and it's showing no wear, though I've worn it numerous times. I always put it in the washer and dryer. - Ian

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Maybe to add to this, my wife would dye her hair black, once it began to gray. The “black” dye was often labeled “midnight blue.” I saw it, daily, in sunlight and every other light imaginable, I never saw ANY blue. - Ian

    Favorite Use of a Song in a Golden Era Movie

    These two short gems, from "Rio Bravo." Dean and Ricky (along with Walter Brennan) are so good in this. These songs get stuck in my head every time I see this. - Ian

    My Buzz Rickson’s B-15D (1952 model) Jacket

    I noticed the same thing with the Buzz Rickson's M-1941 field jacket that I purchased several years ago. It's the only repro I've owned that feels just like the excellent original that I owned. I was pretty taken aback by this fact. - Ian

    M-65 Jacket Dating

    I agree, it’s an older civilian model M-65 as is the liner. I also agree that the hood is a 1940s M-1943 field jacket model...it’s not a hood from a woman’s military jacket. Civilian M-65’s have been in the market for decades. Saying that, it looks like a good pickup. I’m sure it will do the...

    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    I just wore my A-2 deck jacket, here in NYC, to make a few block walk to the grocery store to pick up some ingredients for soup. I was nice and warm. Great jackets! - Ian

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I had to do a couple of errands today, which entailed walking several blocks. It was kinda brutal, but we survived. Really put the Buzz Transport Coat to the test...it stood up. - Ian

    My new life story and a word of warning

    I am so glad that my story helped you to get checked out. We (guys) are stubborn and can live in denial, to our own detriment. Thank goodness you’re okay! - Ian
