    Vintage Travel Pillows

    I recently saw four different national park travel pillows in Sundance Catalog. I believe that the Sundance pillows are made by catstudio, which also makes pillows for all of the states. So does anybody own vintage examples of such pillows and would be willing to share some pictures? NH

    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...

    Jury Duty

    OK, I did a search and the fact that people have had jury duty has been mentioned in passing several times, but there hasn't been a thread started on this topic. So, what should one wear to jury duty? If there isn't a plea bargain I'll have to report to the courthouse next Tuesday. I don't...

    NYTIMES: White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code

    Interesting article. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/us/politics/29whitehouse.html?_r=1&ref=us?_r=1 (OK, we all know that the word 'formal' is used incorrectly in the title). Interesting nonetheless. I would liked to have read more about other past presidents and their day-to-day on...

    Greatest Movie NEVER Made?

    There is a discussion going about the greatest movie ever made. But what about the greatest movie never made? The Onion has an interesting list of 'vaporware' projects -- although not all of them are movies. http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/vaporware_no_more_31_lost As for something...

    Vintage New Year's

    It's December (already!?) so I thought I'd start a thread about what will everyone be doing for New Year's Eve/Day. More importantly, what to wear? Did people wear say standard black tie for New Year's celebrations back in the 30s/40s? Was something special worn? Any ideas on what you're going...

    Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien) is set to direct an adaption of Joe Haldeman's Hugo- and Nebula-award winning novel, 'The Forever War'. http://www.variety.com/VR1117993856.html Scott certainly has a lot on the table! He is also set to direct an adaption of Aldous Huxley's classic...

    Steve Fossett

    Aparently some of disappeared millionaire-adventurer Steve Fossett's belongings have been found by a hiker. http://onthescene.blogs.foxnews.com/author/adamhousley/ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,431307,00.html I sort of see Steve Fossett as a modern day Amelia Earhart. To keep this...

    It's 1987 & the AF is to reissue the A-2. What would YOU do?

    For the basics (most of you have likely already read the following link): http://www.afa.org/magazine/1993/0993jacket.asp I know we often harp on about how 'inaccurate' the modern USAF A-2 is, so what would YOU have done when it was decided to reissue the legendary A-2 in the late 1980's...

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    In my film class on Tuesday we watched 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', and although I had seen the film once before, this time I noticed the jackets worn in the film. I am wondering if Jim Carrey is wearing an N-3 or one of its variants in the follwing screencaps. He also wears what...

    Remakes: Good or Bad?

    OK, so I wanted to expand a little bit upon what I posted in the Metropolis thread. Here is what I posted: So what other movies that are remakes are superior to the originals? What comes to mind immediately is the 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon starring Bogart, superior to the '36 and...

    Chrysler Building to be sold

    Just saw this today: http://www.nypost.com/seven/06112008/business/chrysler_bldg__on_the_block_115016.htm Of course, I highly doubt any architectural changes will be happening. NH
