    The Fedora Lounge Guide to Mackinaw coats

    I purchased this Drifter coat shawl collared mackinaw from River Junction Trading Company in Iowa, last week. They're made to order and the wait time is 6 to 8 weeks. I like the leather trim on the pockets, but asked them to leave it off of the cuffs. $299.95 USD - Ian

    My new toaster

    This morning, I think my wife thought I was crazy when I told her the toast is so much better in this "new" old toaster. In our old toaster the toast was so dry most of the time, I swear that you could hold a slice in your hand, squeeze it into a fist and come out with bread crumbs. I don't know...

    What coffee or tea did you drink today?

    Same here, Earl. It's our regular coffee. We too have tried many gourmet coffee's and, I have to say, this tops them (many times by a long shot). It is a very strong coffee, but it isn't bitter. However, it's a very full bodied. We buy Café Bustelo in the brick and place it in a sealed...

    My new toaster

    I think so. On a side note, but related, our blender's plastic jar/pitcher developed a leak in July. I considered finding a replacement jar for it. But, I decided to look into vintage blenders, first. I really didn't know anything about them. While doing a bit of research, I rediscovered the...

    My new toaster

    Recently, it turned out that the toaster I'd been using for 16 years was on the blink. So, I thought now I have to find some new toaster. Then, I stumbled upon this thread and had a eureka moment...look for a vintage toaster. I specifically looked for a Toastmaster. There are a whole lot of...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm really interested in the movie "Wyatt Earp." I don't know what it is, maybe it's me, but I have had good deal of difficulty giving it my undivided attention. I hope that I will be able to try it out again this fall/winter. I realize that it deserves that much. - Ian

    WWII Women's Army Field Shoes Reproductions

    I have a pair of the men's version of this boot sold by WWII Impressions and also made by Corcoran company. They are sturdy, well made boots. I don't know how much they will cost, but the men's service show (what I own) are priced at $229. If you ladies do purchase these boots, once they become...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw "Tombstone" when it was released and loved it. I'm sure that my friends and I must have quoted lines from it for a year after having seen it. I've tried to watch "Wyatt Earp" a couple of times, but haven't been able to stick with it, so far. As far as "Unforgiven" is concerned, I think...

    New Buzz Rickson Tanker Brad Pitt Fury

    I understand. Well, it's a good looking tanker jacket, regardless. I clicked on the link and looked at all of the pictures of it. - Ian

    The Greatest Inventions of the 1940s

    In fact, duct tape has been brought on every NASA flight into space. And, I believe that the astronauts have had to put it to use more than once, over the years. - Ian

    New Buzz Rickson Tanker Brad Pitt Fury

    zhz "Well, it not necessarily to be the one worn by Brad Pitt, any correct pattern and patch would do the job I think. And, I can't find this Buzz jacket as well. I tried their website, rakuten, google etc...no information at all..." Noted. I may very well have misinterpreted what Blackadder...

    New Buzz Rickson Tanker Brad Pitt Fury

    WWII Impressions is advertising that their products were worn by all the main actors in the movie "Fury." I guess not Brad Pitt's tanker jacket. However, I couldn't seem to find any information on this particular version of Buzz Rickson's tanker jacket. - Ian

    Wrangler Cowboy Cut Relaxed (and Original) Fit Jeans

    Over the past two or three years, I have wanted to find a pair of U.S. made Wrangler 13MWZ's in my size. Of the times, I looked on ebay, I never had any luck. Maybe, they were not nearly as prevalent as Levi's were, for example. And, I'm not sure when Wrangler manufacturing ceased in the United...

    What are you listening to?

    James Taylor performing "Rainy Day Man" live in 1971. Great performance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdI_Wp3GnkE - Ian

    What are you listening to?

    You can't go wrong with Linda. I was so happy that she was finally inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, for whatever it's worth. It's too bad that they waited so long and it turned out to be too late. - Ian

    New Real McCoy's store in New York

    I would not hesitate to purchase a jacket or coat produced by Real McCoy's. I just would not purchase it in the NYC location. It's not that I wouldn't prefer to support the local retailer (and it's employees), but when I can purchase the same jacket/coat online for significantly less, it doesn't...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Mark, I think you're right on about it having come and gone without getting much attention. It certainly doesn't get much, if any, attention at this point. Rob listed it a week ago in the "Unappreciated Masterpieces" thread. That's how the film came into focus for me. It's a powerful...
