Indy Jackets (Wested and Kelso)
Yes, the lambskin is light - my Wested Raiders is my "summer leather". My vintage-2003 Raiders is actually dark brown lamb, they weren't offering the "authentic" hides yet then. It's now worn and faded in the expected spots, but still quite dark. Here's a pic from just last week... though...- Doctor Strange

Indiana Jones we've been waiting for
"Now"? Wested's made these jackets in horsehide for many years. They've been discussed here lots of times, try searching old threads in the Outerwear forum. I haven't handled them myself - although I do have a 20-year-old Wested lambskin Raiders that's still going strong. (I wear it way more...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
On Netflix, the recent documentary about Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah. I know Cohen's music is an acquired taste, but I'm only barely a semi-fan... and I liked this enough to watch it twice. The film covers Cohen's entire career but keeps "Hallelujah" as its central subject. There's a vast...- Doctor Strange

Diner is good, but the Barry Levinson film set in Baltimore's past that I really love is Avalon.- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
David Lindley was incredible. Tasty playing on everything. I was lucky enough to see him live once, when he was headlining at the Bottom Line in NYC circa 1980.- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I finished watching the first season of AMC's Mayfair Witches. Speaking as someone who read all those Anne Rice books years ago... Considering how well they did with the earlier-aired season of Interview with the Vampire - which I thought was a fascinating update, one that realized the 1994...- Doctor Strange

HNC Hatworks (formerly known as Agnoulita Hats)
I got my first hat from these folks yesterday. It's the Phaeton "retro homburg/fedora" in Desert, with an additional half-inch added to the brim. I wanted a hat in an earth tone-felt with a wide black band... that will more or less match with all my black/gray/blue and brown/tan/OD jackets...- Doctor Strange

What hat are you waiting for today?
I ordered a new hat from Agnoulita/HNCHW for my birthday, an "early fedora", the Phaeton, on February 12. It wasn't supposed to ship until mid-March, but it's already on the way... It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, yet the DHL tracking still isn't showing anything after the initial pickup in...- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Yeah, she was definitely an important figure to lots of us guys in the sixties! I was 11 when I first encountered her on the big screen in Fantastic Voyage. I recall that one of the reviews at the time called her appearance in that wetsuit, "the most pneumatic thing that's ever appeared...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Not arguing, it's a good film, and - unlike a canceled two-season broadcast TV series - it's out there and very visible. I was just pointing out that when Hidden Figures opened and I read the reviews, my first thought was, "Wait, didn't I just see this story?!?" Merely a by-the-way...- Doctor Strange

Hidden Figures was pretty good, but it was beaten to the punch by the NBC series Timeless, which did an episode where its time travelers interacted with Katherine Johnson (a few years later when she was working on the Apollo 11 mission) that aired the month before Hidden Figures opened. I liked...- Doctor Strange

Colman plays a troubled woman working in a venerable movie theater at an English seaside resort in 1981. The film has three aspects: a character study of wounded...- Doctor Strange

Are You Brave Enough to Share Your Prom Photos?
We had no prom at Yonkers High School in 1973, for two reasons: The city/school district was in dire financial shape and there were no funds for one. More significantly, 1973 was when "the sixities" had made its way out to everywhere, including high schools: "prom" was viewed as hopelessly...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Fading, I agree that the first act of Last Night in Soho is wonderful... and the zombie-ish third act is disappointing. Once it goes full horror movie, it's a lot less interesting. And the pacing, which up until then has been excellent, seems off: there's too much horror and it unbalances the...- Doctor Strange

From HBO, The Menu, a 2022 film with Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult, John Leguizamo, Janet McTeer, and (starring) Anya Taylor-Joy. The Menu is another of the almost-horror films that seem to be right in the zeitgeist now. Think Get Out, Midsommar, Last Night in Soho, Old, Us, (even The White...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
From TCM, a 1963 French New Wave film directed by Jean-Luc Goddard that I hadn't seen before, Contempt. A very strange story: an American producer (Jack Palance!) is in Italy to make a film based on The Odyssey with famed director Fritz Lang (playing himself!) He enlists a screenwriter and his...- Doctor Strange

I saw it in theaters in 1971 (when I was also a teen) and not since. I don't recall thinking it was anything all that special at the time. I should probably give it a rewatch.- Doctor Strange

Did your fathers / grandfathers (WWII Gen) wear leather jackets?
Both of my parents had served in WWII. Dad was a sergeant in the Air Corps, but he wasn't a flyer, he was a photographer. But he "always envied those great leather jackets that my flyboy buddies had", and I eventually found a wartime picture of him wearing a borrowed A-2: Much later (2000)...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Lizzie (2018), yet another film about the 1892 Lizzie Borden murders, with Chloe Sevigny, Kristen Stewart, and Jamey Sheridan. Meh. Very, very slow moving, and with an extra-comatose performance by Stewart. (I've liked her performances on occasion, but here she doubles down on her...- Doctor Strange
