    Excellent movies in the most difficult sub genre

    Actually, a rough cut of the film was shot. More info (scroll down to #19): http://www.avclub.com/articles/vaporware-no-more-31-lost-projects-were-hoping-to,2543/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_day_the_clown_cried NH

    Television Noir

    What is considered noir is, of course, very debatable. Some more items for discussion: I havn't watched 60's secret agent TV shows in years, but would Mission: Impossible, I Spy, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Avengers count? Certainly episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents / The Alfred...

    Antarctic Clothing & Equipment

    Not sure about Antarctica, but in the Arctic some still wear fur. Check out this link with a picture of Les Stroud from the Survivorman TV series in the Canadian arctic. Although I believe in the episode he wore some synthetic fleece under his fur. I imagine some of the Inuit/Eskimos still...

    Mystery solved! Bogart's weird suit in "The Big Sleep"

    In some ways I kind of like the buttonhole on the right. *BUT* here is another way of thinking about it. Mr. Oviatt says that having the boutonniere and handkerchief on opposite sides creates "balance." But does it? If we borrow a rule from photography, the Rule of Thirds, we are not going...

    Need Suggestions for Fleece Jacket

    My opinion, for what it's worth, a fleece jacket under leather wouldn't be your best option. Personally, I'd go for a wool sweater. NH

    Mystery solved! Bogart's weird suit in "The Big Sleep"

    Did Oviatt make tuxedo jackets? And, if so, with the hole on the right? NH

    US Wings selling A-2s with 1940s vintage goatskin & "G-8" jackets from 1958

    If it is indeed 1940s leather in good condition, it of course doesn't mean it was used for military jackets. You could have had civilian jackets made from the leather. Still, if John Chapman or Gary Eastman could have gotten ahold of this leather (if it is indeed genuine), they could have...

    US Wings selling A-2s with 1940s vintage goatskin & "G-8" jackets from 1958

    A-2: http://www.uswings.com/usaaf.asp#LEVGA2 G-8 (scroll down to the Excelled version): http://www.uswings.com/g-8.asp I'd like to get everyone's thought on this. Are these legit? Can one really tell if goatskin is from the 40s? (Tanning and dyeing techniques, I presume.) You can...

    full length shearlings

    I'm not sure if the following will be long enough for what you're looking for, but here goes: The AAF B-7 is going to be longer than the B-3. The Few makes an accurate repro: http://www.c-king.jp/fewjac/fewsp9015.html They also make a ladies version...
