For a while I've been interested in finding what looks to be breeches similar to what Daniel Plainview wears in 'There Will Be Blood'. They are very close fit with it being slightly fuller on top and have buttons down at the bottom. Is there a similar variant that can be found? It can be seen...

There's a jacket in more the lines I'm looking for!

Quite an interesting photograph indeed. The prices for such jackets is quite steep but at least the type can be identified. Thanks for suggestions and a good head to find similar jackets.

I've spotted this photograph and quite like the style of jacket. It appears to be in wool and is in a tunic-style blazer. I was wondering what kind of jacket is this and if I could find something similar to it? Thank you

Hello all!I am interested in collecting aviation gear as well.In the 1910's these helmets were popular with early aviators and also used in WWI.I was wondering if I can find a similar helmet like this online?Thank you!

Received my Czech parka yesterday and it is a fine jacket indeed.It is by far one of the most useful and comfortable I've had.It suits all my needs and will be an important piece to my kit.I've also ordered a rucksack,mittens,and wool gaiters.All,including the parka,is ordered from Swiss-Link...

Thank you for the photograph!This is a wonderful reference aid for summer outdoor wear.I've spotted some places with trousers like that.Left gentleman's shirt is common to find too and so his jacket.The boots I'll have to look further for.Great find that photo!

Just the many features that made me go towards this parka.I haven't really found anything similar let alone in a good price.I would love to find me canvas or cotton breeches for the summer.Is there any vendors that sell for good quality and price?

Wonderful stuff.It'd be worth looking into since those clothing and gear is still suitable today.Right now I have a parka purchased.The Czech M85 has a good cut and looks suitable.I was lucky to find one as they're becoming scarce to find on the internet.

Wonderful photographs!It seems the long socks over pants seems to be a very common method.What I will try and do is if it gets too cold I will get some long socks and gaiters.I found a ton of rucksacks,mainly military surplus.I have a pair of replica WWI German field trousers that would fit the...

Another nice thread,thank you!

Lots to look in that thread,thank you Dinerman!

Thank you for the very informative post Heathfox.To answer your question,I plan in middle of winter to go on a group woodland trip.There will be hills,rocks,caves,ect.I mainly want to learn what period winter hiking items that I should bring or wear. EDIT:Answer to Dinerman:I'm looking for a...

Wonderful images especially of his rucksack.Luckily rucksacks are easy to find.A nice turtleneck sweater will be good too.I'm looking into finding some breeches as suggested. Plus wonderful link on the Everest climbing clothes
