    Every man

    I just caught "All the King's Men" and there are some nice suits in it, but I wondered why they bothered remaking such a cliched melodrama when the real story of Huey Long is so much more fascinating, surely enough years have gone by for a biopic to be done on him?

    come fly with me

    I just scored an old flying suit, age unknown, for $2. It needs a bit of patching but will be fine for long nights driving the truck in winter, but what are the two belts inside for?

    calling all coats

    I haven't seen this as it's not out here yet, but I think we can assume some serious leather coatage will be on display http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454824/

    out of the past

    Further to my annual viewing of this Mitchum classic, it appeared to me that all the good guys wore thin-banded hats in the Open Road style while the baddies had much thicker hatbands. Is this a signifier in the semiotic sense....observations please!

    dukes

    I was watching the annual screening of 'out of the past' last night, one of the best, Jane Greer is a stunner, and the way Mitchum wears that tcoat outshines even Bogie for my money, but it got me thinkin..did John Wayne ever do a trenchcoat movie?

    one for snopes?

    I was sent this recently: with accompanying pics, but they could have been from anywhere: Charlie Brown was a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 379th Bomber Group at Kimbolton, England. His B-17 was called 'Ye Old Pub' and during its mission was now in a terrible state, having been hit by...

    did it again!

    Check out this late 50's CASUAL brand beauty. Unworn, but ribbon a bit faded, what the hell at $3 I can handle it.Can you see how the weave is heavier about an inch out from the join and then gets finer across the brim? The paint on this is virtually mint as well, and apart from a slight bend...
