    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I agree on both counts. Also, I stumbled upon "Holiday" with Hepburn once and enjoyed it. "Citizen Kane" is one that I first watched not too long ago and while I thought it was a good picture, I didn't get all of the hubbub, bub. - Ian

    M-65 Field Jacket

    The liner makes the jacket very warm. Some of the great things about the liner are that it's thin and very lightweight. In fact, it's of so little substance that one may not think it would be anywhere near as warm as it is. And, as mentioned, surplus liners in near mint condition very...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It was the narrator at the beginning of the movie...lol But, as Robert Osborne said in the introduction, "the movie is griping from beginning to end." I just happened upon it last night. - Ian

    M-65 Field Jacket

    In regards to the hood, I disagree. I have an unissued surplus 1973 Alpha M-65. So, I don't know about the civilian versions and their hoods. But, the hood on my M-65 has come in handy a number of times in the rain and in the snow. I live in NYC, and last fall and winter, I went out for...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    D.O.A. (1950) starring: Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton, Luther Adler, Beverly Garland, etc. It was on TCM last night. Apparently, it's a Film Noir classic. Count me as a fan. In my opinion, it was excellent. - Ian

    Solution sought for uncomfortable as hell Red Wing boots

    I had similar experiences when I was a paramedic. Steel-toed boots save my feet a number of times (they also had a steel shank/plate between the midsole and outsole). They were Chippewa 242's. I guess they don't make this model anymore but they were very similar to these but I didn't use the...

    The Fedora Lounge Guide to Mackinaw coats

    Forgive the tardiness of my response. Once I receive the coat, I'll post photos of it. I should have it in three weeks. One thing that you see on most of this type of "mackinaw" that were manufactured in the early to mid 20th century are "storm" cuffs (knit cuffs hidden inside the...

    M-65 Field Jacket

    ^ Additionally, they are 50% Nylon and 50% Cotton. So, the material is very, very strong, and it has water repellant and wind resistant properties/qualities. - Ian

    M-65 Field Jacket

    I have one. It's an U.S. Issue Alpha Industries 1973 that I picked up last year on ebay for about $100. It was unissued/unworn and I love it. It's very practical and very warm when worn with the liner. You wouldn't think so, but it is. Even the hood can come in handy. I used it more than once...

    My new toaster

    Yes, it is a good looking toaster. Yesterday, I also saw a copper Kitchenaid (1950's I believe) and a copper Oster blender on eBay. I believe the blender was made in the 1950s, as well. - Ian

    My new toaster

    You're very welcome! This copper Toastmaster is on eBay right now and it's pretty darn expensive. It's the same model I own, a 1B24, but in copper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Very-Rare-Antique-Copper-ToastMaster-Toaster-1B24-/191217844394?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item2c8578c0aa...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Grapes of Wrath (1940) and Torpedo Run (1958) starring Glenn Ford and Ernest Borgnine . I thought both were really good. Torpedo Run is also great if you love vintage Military jackets. Set in 1942, Glenn Ford wears a WWII tanker jacket through a lot of the picture. Borgnine wears an A-1...

    My new toaster

    He may be. I will PM you his email address and you can go from there. He's a really nice guy and, in my experience, communication with him has been really good. - Ian

    My new toaster

    That's really cool! You're right, the 1B14 preceded the Toastmaster model that I have. This site provides a pretty good timeline for Toastmaster toasters and their history: http://www.toaster.org/tmaster_history.html - Ian

    My new toaster

    I've seen one of his videos before, too. The guy at Toaster Central (I posted the link above) not only sales restored/refurbished vintage toasters, etc., he also will repair your vintage toaster. Additionally, he provides new cords for your vintage toaster. It must be that replacing a power...

    Solution sought for uncomfortable as hell Red Wing boots

    I live in NYC and wear boots all of the time (from dress, work and cowboy). I insert insoles in all of my boots (and dress shoes). I couldn't walk as much as I do without having insoles in my footwear. I've always used Dr. Scholl's brand and they work really well for me, but maybe any good ones...

    My new toaster

    My Toastmaster toaster is going strong, so far, with daily use. We don't use the Oster Osterizer blender nearly as much. I got a 1955 NOS/unused Sunbeam Percolator AP10A last week. I'm looking forward to receiving it. I paid $50 for it. The toaster and blender were $24 and $17 respectively and...
