    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Yes, absolutely. As someone mentioned earlier there were the movies like Coming Home and the Deer Hunter, but by the time Rambo came out most had been back from Vietnam, were entering their 30s, and (trying) to reintegrate into society. After Rambo came out, there were a ton of Vietnam related...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Yes, without question. My wife came of age during that period and while she lived in Queens, she actually went to high school at Brooklyn Tech. Consequently she spent a lot of time there with her friends. I once asked her about it and she said it was about as accurate as you could get. It...

    A-2 Jacket: Unknown Maker, size 42, great shape

    This is an odd jacket. I don't know who made it since it is missing the tag, although there is a size 42 tag in the lower part of the liner. Several people have commented that it is an early Aero Flight, Mfg. jacket when AreoLeather was having jackets made overseas. The jacket is extremely...

    Bill Kelso Indiana Jones "Relic Hunter Jaclet, Goatskin--Size 44

    This is a catch and release jacket I purchased from Tibor a few weeks ago, for the sale price I paid for it. As much as it fills the hole in my closet for an Indiana Jones jacket I have wanted for probably 15 years, it is probably a size large in the shoulders and chest. It is a full 44. You...

    What else do you collect?

    I used to collect a lot of stuff, magazines, leather jackets, motorcycles, US military boots, tools, literature. In the last three or four years, I have stopped all of that, sold nearly all of it off (aside from the tools), and am acquiring no more. Less is more, I want a little as possible...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Uh Uh, no. At least not of anything I saw on the West Coast and Arizona. ...maybe in the rust belt or the large east coast cities, at least until the Rodney King riots.

    What advice would you give to your younger selves?

    I had a manager whose motto was exactly that. She was one of the most miserable people I have ever met.

    Another Cafe Thread: help me make a decision!

    If it is actually going to be a riding jacket, just have Vanson make up whatever you want. I have had a couple made for me and they are dead on.

    What advice would you give to your younger selves?

    When one of your life long best friends advises you to buy as much Microsoft stock as you can after he finished up his internship in 1989 says so, do. Same for the other friend from grade school that said the same about Amazon in 1995. Take that trip after high school, after college, and after...

    Today in History

    While I missed the December 7th and 16th (yesterday) "what happened on this day", in early December, I think of two servicemen from my little town of 150 that were killed in WWII on those two days. Claude Gowey was on the Oklahoma on December 7th. I just ran across an article that his...
