That's great H! Very pleased it has gone to a good home!
Also, I have just taken delivery this morning of a Canon DSLR I won on ebay at the weekend! Got a good deal, and can't wait to start playing with it! Thanks for helping contribute to the camera fund!
LOL! lol
I've said this would suit a 3 year old, and it is marked '3' on the labels... (I'm assuming that refers to the age) the jacket also says size 24. That means nothing to me though!
Actually 'Young Winston' is just over 2 in these photos. But he is a buster :D (10lbs 3oz baby...
Smart little cord Newsboy Cap from H&M, that I tailored to fit our little nippers. I took about half an inch either side of the seam at the back! Looks great but now both have grown out of it now. (6 and 8)
Around the inside of the cap is roughly 19.5 inches, give or take a half either way...
For Sale is a cute little Sailor Boy outfit we found in a charity shop about 5 years ago, and was worn by our youngest for our trip to Guernsey to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of their Liberation in 2005.
Just the jacket and trousers, we had to borrow the hat.
Would suit a 3 year old...
Pics and measurements as promised H.
The measurement from the eppaulette to the bottom of the cuffs is a little under 24 1/2 inches.
Across the back from the shoulder seams 20 1/2 inches
From the base of the collar down the back 30 inches
Chest, from the bottom of the sleeves 23...
I recently discovered my old M-43 I bought many moons ago when I started out in living history / reenacting. (I dabbled with in American stuff in the very early '90's)
In good condition, with the usual very light wear to the bottom of the cuffs, but not serious. All the buttons present apart...
You've posted some cool caps there Dinerman!
Cheers for the heads up on those ebay caps. Just sent the seller a message about that 6 7/8 one.... You never know, don't ask don't get...
One day left on ebay, good people of the Lounge! Finishes tomorrow night! The ebay Gods are favouring the buyer at the moment, not the seller! :D
Get yourselves a bargain!
Bump ;)
Mike.
Now on ebay!
Right, it's been here for a couple of weeks with no takers or offers, so I think my price may be a bit optomistic...
So now on ebay for a much more tempting £39.99 :)

I bought these off ebay a few months ago, but they are slightly too big for my little head.
Back on ebay - ;)

They are the 1970's TYPE G, but with rounded lenses and sprung arms that hark back to the WW2 TYPE VIII...
'Ahh! That one!' I hear you all say! Yes, this is the one I put up for sale a couple of years ago, but I was talked out of selling it by fellow Loungers!
Well I've now had the suit over 4 years, and I've never worn it, other than for these photos!
And I don't see me finding the opportunity...
Cheers for the reminder Alan! Just replied!
Yes, you are right about wearing the proper waisted trousers with the BD. My old '49 just didn't work with normal waisted jeans in the early '90's, there was always a gap at the back. Now I like wearing vintage pattern Levis I may give the blouses...
My Battledress
Been a fair old while since I donned battledress, and the photo below was taken back in 2000.
I used to wear a '49 when I was a teenager, and very occasionally a Denim blouse, but I found the waists a tad too high with normal jeans. This thread may make me dig them out again...
