    Ok so Shirley President Suspenders are out of reach..how about these?

    Blackadder- Yea dry bones one not my cup of tea but i had stumbled on that other japanese brand doing the suspenders but not very user friendly as his site is strictly japanese..what would be great is if he's willing to part with just the vintage cord ends, i think i want to build my own..just...

    Ok so Shirley President Suspenders are out of reach..how about these?

    Mullit - thanks for the tip but it doesnt quite "measure up"..i think i'm going to have to wait till a vintage one turns up somehow somewhere..i know RRL makes a passable pair as well.

    Ok so Shirley President Suspenders are out of reach..how about these?

    Hats off to everyone up in here..so ive been searching high and low for a pair of braces that kinda come close to a pair of the Shirley President ones (minus the intricate detail in the back)..so i watched this 1930's period Danish/Norwegian flick about kids sent away to a reform school and this...

    Name this shirt..

    re: SM Wholesale, everything but...unfortunatley. There must be an original hidden in someone's closet somewhere, its always a game of patience when it comes to vintage, as mentioned, i'm really not a militaria buff, but that shirt and a french cyclist jacket are the two items in my cross hairs.

    Name this shirt..

    UPDATE: indeed its eventually surfaced. Its a WW2 Afrikacorps shirt - which i suspect would be much harder to find than say a US/UK/Canadian army shirt..oh well, its a step forward atleast.

    Name this shirt..

    the guy in the photo not much on words..that was my first go-to person. The spear point collar design was born out of the 1930's, and this spear point collar is very well made, its the single most attractive thing about this shirt as mentioned . Yes sorry its Commonwealth i meant to say..but...

    Name this shirt..

    Also the buttons on the photo suggest "an original" usually the repro's use crappy buttons, also if you look at his vest, thats a WW1 issue military vest, authentic to the best of my knowledge.

    Name this shirt..

    Actually i beg to differ on this, i thought the photo i upped looks more authentic (and i know the dude in this photo is a hardcore vintage junkie) and because the alternative repro's online look more like banana republic khaki shirts. If i may press you a bit more, can you be specific as to...

    Name this shirt..

    Salutations! I'm hoping there are enough militaria buffs to help me I.D. this shirt..or point me in the right direction. Obviously what got my immediate attention about this military shirt was the killer collar, it could be WW1 or 2 but i'm no buff. Any heads up is cheerfully accepted.

    Help dating these Vtg Engineering Boots..

    I tried googling "Oak Ben Outersole" but that yielded nothing..strange that there are no markings inside..then again it could be that the stamped info has completely faded over time.

    Help dating these Vtg Engineering Boots..

    Heyhey esteemed crew - Picked these up not long ago..no brand or info on the inside, just the details on the outsole, brass hardware, soft toe. Any suggestions cheerfully accepted.
