    Original M-43 Field Jacket 38R **SOLD**

    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...

    Grey Herringbone Plus Fours Suit

    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 :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180394587499 I'll let the Gods of Ebay dictate the...

    Grey Herringbone Plus Fours Suit

    '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...

    Battledress - expanded

    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...

    Battledress - expanded

    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...
