I have a Real McCoy's Dunbow A-2 that I'd like to trade, possibly, for another A-2. I'd be interested in Eastman or Aero or something similar.
My Dunbow has a couple of minor moth nips to the left cuff and waist band but is in otherwise excellent condition. Just looking for something...
I'm still watching; trying to draw out the experience by only putting it on once or twice a week, as though it were part of a regular rotation.
I saw that Bring 'Em Back Alive was mentioned earlier in the thread. There's a Gold Monkey fansite that has a link for several old shows, one of...
For sale:
Adventurebilt in beaver felt. The price on these things through the website is up at $650 before shipping now. I'm asking $315 shipped ( CONUS ) for this hat in a slightly snug 7 1/4 ( the band reads 22.6, but I wear a 22 7/8 and it fits well enough ). Has the older "Staff of Ra"...
With Wings Like Eagles by Michael Korda ( Harper Perennnial - 2002 )
I mentioned on another thread that I'd picked this book up a couple of weeks ago and subsequent posts implied no one had yet read it cover to cover. I finished it last night and figured I'd give it a quick rundown for those...
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap ^^^^^^^^^^
I've had these** Red Wings going on ten years now - obviously not the model in the OP, but I'm sure the construction is similar. I wore them every day for about two years, and they still get very regular wear. Couple that with, as often as not, I...
If that cap is an original, it makes me feel pretty good about the repro I've got. The construction looks very similar; maybe the style copied for the Garcia repro? It has the same inverted seam around the top. It got me to looking at some of the other eBay offerings, and it looks like there are...
I have this book and it is definately worth a look, at least to flip through in the store if not to buy. Sort of a Zelig thing going on; a lot of fun.
Any movie is going to be quite a task, due to the book's scope. It'll be interesting to see how it comes along: no built-in audience like Star...
Okay: which one of my friends have you been talking to?
PM sent.
Thanks so much for the replies. I'm shooting for this to be a Christmas present.
V.Betty - I'd look mighty darn silly in a nurse's cape.

I'm not yet bare-butt nekkid out of control on the AAF kit ( again; yet ), so I translate the three bills for a Diamond to a LOT of other things. When my Paypal acct is flush, it's almost like it's not real money :rolleyes: , so dropping 90 bones on the original didn't sting too badly. Now I've...
HOORAY!!!
I HAVE 100% OF THE VOTE!!! You have to do what I say now :eek: .
I opted "other" because I'd probably shoot for a surplus model on eBay. They can usually be had for under $150 in really good shape. Coupled with that, I just happened to be paging through these earlier today and saw...
...and it doesn't have to be a member selling. Are there any modern makers? can't seem to find anything on the internet machine, though I may need to try different key words.
In lieu of the actual cape, anyone know of a pattern?
I have seen them on ebay, but they tend to run on the smaller...
Thanks, SD!
When I put the order in about two weeks ago, Garcia Aviation was having a storewide sale, I believe. This cap came in at just under eighty dollars, shipped. That was considerably less expensive than a lot of the others shown on the BIG thread. The only offering that looked to...
How old?
Newhart is my personal favorite comedy of all time and is the kind of thing I'd really like to see come back to television. No attempts to be "cutting edge" or "shocking" ( read: profane, violent, and/or sexually explicit ). Good, 95% clean fun with a bit of plain old absurd.
To...
Here are some shots of an original WWII crusher and the reproduction offered by Garcia Aviation.
First up, Garcia's offering in OD. The cap is US made and really quality stuff. In terms of a modern comparison, it blows Midway out of the water ( my FD dress hat is a Midway and doesn't hold a...
