Akubra vs Jacaru hat
True, but for the price they used to make a better hat. :D -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Agree on Streep. Generally found her performances to be mannered and very self-aware. I'm sure I thought she was good in a few films but I don't remember which ones. Haven't seen these two as I have no interest in movies about politics as a general principle.- Seb Lucas

Hasn't come up. Are you not happy with the vast range of hides with established qualities already offered by makers?- Seb Lucas

Which bi-swing back design is best?
I agree the G&B jacket looks terrible from the back. Many of them do and not just the bi swing back versions. It is the poor and outsized cut of the jacket. Remember that a jacket is not just the design idea, it is also how that idea is executed by the pattern maker. In the case of G&B as you...- Seb Lucas

Akubra vs Jacaru hat
From what I have seen, Jacaru hats are mainly sold to tourists here and while Akubra sells most of their hats to overseas customers and tourists, there are still a lot of people in bush areas here who wear Akubras - although the once ubiquitous Squatter has almost vanished from the bush. They... -
Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
There was an interview with Keach wherein he said something like he had a huge head and struggled to find a good hat. In the original Keach telemovies the hat was shaped like a low pork pie. Micky Spillane wanted a pill box Stetson. I bet they tired a few trenchcoats before the series started...- Seb Lucas

No worries but given you ‘do not understand’ why they had to change it you’re going to get a response like mine.- Seb Lucas

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Trench coats are an idea not a dogma - I don't think fashion or most garment makers care about the intricacies or heritage of garments they make. :D Pretty sure this '80's TV production didn't care either.- Seb Lucas

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
The 1980's are a long time ago. Don't know what it was like in the US but here there were many styles of trench available in most menswear stores I knew back then. They were a basic fashion item. I bought a couple in the mid 1980's. They were still worn around and no one took notice. These days...- Seb Lucas

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
I suspect they just went to Macy's or some slightly higher end place and bought 10 coats for the series - an approach they used for most shows in the 1980's. The lapels are interesting. The Stylemaster looks like a close stand in.- Seb Lucas

Which bi-swing back design is best?
By the way, that rectangle as you call it is actually called a half-belt and is a period feature to my eye one of the highlights of the G1's cool looking back design which has gone unchanged for decades. A good vintage G1 in worn goat is one of the great joys of the jacket world.- Seb Lucas

Stupid (or funny?) germanized movie titles
Yep, voice actors are a very important tool in international film and TV. Good voice actors are exceptionally wealthy and the great part for them is they can walk down the street without causing a scene. I personally hate watching subtitles because I don't always look at a screen when I watch...- Seb Lucas

These are shocking. But clearly the Married with Children title is an ironic one. I like it.- Seb Lucas

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Interesting. I hated the first one (cliché ridden pap, with terrible CGI) and stopped watching just after an hour. Maybe I'll enjoy the sequel. :D- Seb Lucas

Five Star Leather Jackets
My remade Sears long half-belt jacket came a week ago. My original, some here may remember, had a few mistakes - too long cuffs and wrong zip. This one has addressed all the issues. Good work, Shawn. Only issue is chest creasing on the leather from being folded inside a thin box. Not a biggie...- Seb Lucas

Which bi-swing back design is best?
If your A2 or any jacket with a one piece back doesn't allow for movement it is likely to be a poor fit or poor pattern making. How a jacket is cut can influence fit more than an action back. It's about how the arms are installed in the body and how large the armholes are. Gibson and Barnes...- Seb Lucas
