I am wearing standard Marine Corps issue cold weather boots, (despite the 90+ weather today,) Cyote Brown boot socks, in the Marine Corps Pattern-Digital Woodland Camoflague Print combat utility uniform trousers, olive scivvy [T-] shirt, Digital Woodland Blouce with the naval style "white...
Tom St.Clair is the name. I actually found this site while looking for a place my best friend and I could show off our vintage wear and still blend in. I'm a US Marine in Okinawa, Japan. My love for vintage came about through my Dad. He had a beautiful charcoal fedora that he wore...
I'm a Marine and I have to wear a hat (We call them "Covers") whenever I'm outside. I have been written up for not wearing one of the various covers I've been issued. I have a few fedoras and a Hamburg, which I wear when I can. But, I guess the best headwear the Corps has to offer is the...
Not quite the replies I was expecting. Have no fear I was VERY specific in my details and if it's not what I want in the end I won't pay for it. That's the deal I made with the little old man from Japan. I requested Flaps for the trousers, I did not specify that before. The besom pockets are...
Well I gone and done it. I met with Tommy today and got measured. I went with a Midnight Blue 3piece with chalkline pinstripes. I chose besom pockets on both top and bottom. The Jackets is to have broad, peaked lapels. The trousers will have nice pleats, cuffs, bracer buttons, and I had him...
Sadly I will be spending my nation's birthday half way around the globe. So the rest of you, party just that much more for me. (And what better way to celebrate the Independence of your country then exploding a small part of it?)
You know I asked him about that. He said that he no longer has time to go around to the brks. I had heard about him while I was still on Pendleton, but the Marine I was talking to was stationed there about 3 years ago. I think it's the same "Tommy" cause he looks like he's pushing 80.
Pocket flaps? yes or no? I've seen some on pictures of trousers but is it ok to get them on the jacket? If you have them on one should you have them on the other?
OK, I guess what I'm REALLY looking for is suggestions in cut, shape etc. To make it perfect. 30's-40's what do I want to focus on? To cuff or not to cuff? Lapels are a big deal, but how big do you want them before they become a big deal. Catch the drift. Remember "New in Town" My own...
