Looking good there Hawk Eye. isn't it nice to live in a "Irvin-Country" with snow, frost and cold?

i have a great m65 jacket i got from bdu.com for 30 bucks. Black, really durable, its about the only casual coat i wear. Great stuff. Plus its amazing how many movies/people wear this thing-
Rambo, Taxi Driver, the first Terminator, hell even Osama bin Laden has one in his tapes. go figure.

To work today - dated 1952 OD wool trousers, Corcoran jump boots and a Buzz Rickson B-10. For better or worse no one even looked at my get up twice.

Same get up to work today - with the substitution of khaki's for the OD trousers...must be in a rut!

That's a cool look! Nice jacket especially.

This pic is totally badass without even trying to be - cap, selvage jeans, military boots and jacket.....IMO the epitome of cool vintage style!

Totally bad ass but it also looks like it is a found photo and is thirty or more years old (in all the best ways of course). I think it's the VW bus in the background.

Thanks! That's a Buzz Rickson repro of the Oldin-Dennis B-10. Perfect for really cold days!

Burnsie - Nice to see another fellow lounger who doesn't tie up his boots!

perhaps if you cropped out the modern motorcycles and photoshopped the modern armcast...

Defiantly didn't see either of those... Whoops...

Takes so much time and effort, doesn't it?

My avatar shows.

Replica luftwaffe ww2 blue wool pants, bundeswehr white service shirt (from eighties). Picture doesn't show my US army issue trench coat.
Civvie clothing was engineer boots, suspenders and my Akubra Fed IV.

I guess back in here people only think military gears things with camo patterns and things with military insignias.

Nice - British Army pattern officer's coat?

I have a preference for modern U.S. BDU trousers. Take the leg pockets off and they almost look like dockers.

I also have a small collection of obscure camouflage tunics--sumpftarn, spinter, burred-edge, etc sans insignia--that get alot of comments and questions.

Thanks. Yes, British Army, tag's been removed but it has pre-Staybrite buttons with a sphinx and 'Egypt'.

 

[PSK123]

Aha Gloucestershire regiment!

This is all kinds of amazing.

Darhling, thank you, you're too kind

Pip, I've been interested in the significance of these particular buttons, where should I look for information?
