    The Artist

    Amen! I, too plan on seeing this a second time. A breath of fresh air at the cinema. Something that's been lacking for a long time.

    USAAF uniform question - Enlisted men's Class A dress coat

    Matt, The enlisted Class A uniform jacket did not have a belt. Also, the wool used for the construction of the enlisted Class A uniforms was quite different than that used for officers. It was made of a more course type wool, as the officer's uniform was made from what was called elastique...

    Army Air Force Insignia

    From what I've seen, read and heard, the AAF insignia on the leather jackets were not that common.

    Film/television speech patterns from the 1920s to 1960s

    I know exactly what your speaking of, J.B. I've noticed the voice inflections and speech patterns especially in vintage radio announcers voices of the 20's, 30's and 40's. It seems, just like everything else these days, that the more formal speech has gone by the wayside. Pushed aside by what I...

    Fashion Survey

    I took a gander and completed the survey also. I think it would be great if you offered men's vintage clothing as well. Not sure about the UK, but, here in the Colonies, men's vintage stores are kind of few and far between. If and when I get back to the UK, I would definitely look up you're...

    Aero: How long did it take to get yours?

    I ordered a jacket from them about three years ago. I was told to expect delivery anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. After about 2 1/2 months, I emailed Mark and asked if there was delay. He promptly sent me a reply after he checked on it and there had, in fact, been a delay in the order. He said...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Used to go to the "service station" and you normally would never have to get out of your car. The owner would come over and typically speak to my Dad since they had known each other for years. He (the owner, no less) would "filler up" and while the tank was filling, he would check under the hood...

    Same here. I've had several shirts made special by them and have been well pleased with the finished product.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Bringing Up Baby from 1938 with Cary Grant & Katherine Hepburn. One of the all time great screwball comedies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-EkAb1h2OM

    1933 (haunted) radio picks up Hitler wartime speechs

    For a good, easy read along the same lines of this topic, pick up the book London Calling by Edward Bloor. Here's a link to the book on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/London-Calling-Edward-Bloor/dp/B0057D9PGA/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312178447&sr=1-1

    White Shirt? Colored Shirt?

    Primarily white about 80% to 90% of the time. Although I do have several solid colored as well as striped shirts. Those I generally wear without a jacket, though.

    Forbidden items in my home...

    While I'm not really a "Country" or "Country/Western" fan, I do enjoy me some good bluegrass music. I played guitar and sang in a bluegrass band for about six years and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good harmonies, good friendships and good times. ;)

    Holy Grail of vintage suits

    Yeah, they definitely don't make them like that anymore. Either in quality or in style.

    Holy Grail of vintage suits

    I came extremely close to bidding on the tan suit, even though it wasn't in my size. And, I agree, if the size had been a few inches smaller all the way around, I think the price would have dropped considerably. I'm a pretty small statured guy and I would have bid in a heartbeat had that been...

    Khaki shirt recommendations?

    I own one of each of these and all are dead ringers for WW II Military khaki shirts. Both are heavy and very durable. I would highly recommend either one. If it weren't for the tags in the shirts, you wouldn't know the difference. http://www.atthefrontshop.com/searchresults.asp?cat=102...
