    FS: WPG seal goatskin A-2 XXL

    I bought this jacket out of curiosity a couple of years ago and reviewed it in detail, including pics and measurements: What Price Glory replica A-2 review | The Fedora Lounge As I said back then, it's surprisingly nice for its modest price - mostly correct construction details, very soft and...

    What Price Glory replica A-2 review

    Let me start with the summary I'd planned to end with: If you're looking for a bargain knockabout WWII-style A-2... or if you're looking for a budget A-2 to paint the back... or if you want a gift for family and friends who admire your expensive repro A-2s… and who won't even notice any...

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    I didn't see any mention of this here or in the Merchants forum. http://taylorsleatherwear.com/shop.php#!/FACTORY-BLOW-OUT-SALE Lots of different models of their police jackets, in a full range of sizes, for $199. And some one-offs in particular sizes for even less. The only personal...

    Underfire: The Untold Story of Pfc. Tony Vaccaro

    Yesterday I watched the fascinating new HBO documentary Underfire: The Untold Story of Pfc. Tony Vaccaro. It's the incredible true story of a WWII GI who did the whole Band of Brothers experience, Omaha Beach to Germany... and photographed all of it while actively engaged in battle, shooting...

    FS: Stetson Temple, 7-1/8 Caribou

    I got this hat new over a dozen years ago, and it's still in very good condition. The only real signs of wear are a hardened wrinkle at the back of the sweatband, and a bit of uneven brim edge along the back... and you could easily reshape the brim with a little steam, I think. It's a great...

    DVR alert: "Why We Fight" and Private Snafu on TCM September 1-2, 2015

    I just noticed that during tonight's overnight, Turner Classic Movies is showing the Frank Capra-produced "Why We Fight" wartime documentaries, plus several of the "Private Snafu" cartoons made for the military by the Warner Bros. animators. I figured some of our WWII scholars and/or film buffs...

    Digital shooting and projection

    I know we have discussed this somewhat on the threads about The Artist and others, but it deserves its own thread. It isn't news to any of us that film - that is, old-school photochemical film - is on its deathbed. Film as a distribution medium will effectively be gone in just a couple of...

    FS: Alpha N-3B parka - Medium, black, never worn

    Selling an Alpha N-3B parka in black, size Medium. (The standard Alpha N-3B, not their cheaper Knox Armory model.) The faux fur on the hood snaps off. I bought this for my son a few years ago, assuming that he'd wear it constantly through upstate New York winters at college (as I wore my N-3B...

    Freebies for NYC-area photographers (& re-enactors)

    Over the next couple of months, I will be clearing out the remains of my parents' home photo studio (they were pros starting in 1946!) in Yonkers, NY - right at the Bronx line. I have already given away much of the primo stuff, or am keeping it for myself, but there are some interesting...

    Motion Picture Academy World War II film collection!

    NYT piece: Hat-wearing minority gets no respect!

    Duke Ellington birthday marathon 4/29

    Just a reminder that tomorrow, Thurs/April 29, is the Duke's birthday, and the jazz department of Columbia U station WKCR is doing their annual 24-hour marathon broadcast. No commercials (they don't even seem to be asking for pledges at this point), and it's bound to include some great...

    Between the Greatest Gen and the Boomers

    A very interesting, perceptive article about the little-discussed generation of Americans born during World War II, written by a member of that cohort: http://chronicle.com/article/The-Peculiar-Generation/64695/

    An HBO miniseries remake of Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet and directed by Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) will be shooting "1930s" exteriors in Peekskill, NY next month. There's an audition call out for local extras - and since I live ten minutes away, I suppose I'm going to go. I...

    (*TAKEN*) FREE - Alpha B-15 w/busted zipper (XL)

    This is the standard dark-blue Alpha B-15 jacket - not a good repro (it's got the lame removable faux fur collar) - but a very warm, comfortable, practical cold-weather jacket. I love this jacket and have worn it often through the last few NY winters, but yesterday it experienced a catastrophic...
