Historic Hillwalking
A few more pics from Uncle Walter I'm guessing these are all from the same outing? Uncle Barry again, in his Denison, plus a couple of BD tunics. Looks like Large Packs were the backpack of choice! Plus a nifty little knapsack on one young lady, looks similar to an ATS issue one...- Mike1973

Historic Hillwalking
From my Great Uncle Walters collection, somewhere in the Midlands, just after the '39-'45 war. Sorry I don't have a better scan to hand, I'll try and rectify that tonight. A mixture of civilian and military clothing, a lot of slacks tucked into socks in a plus four style. The tall chap in...- Mike1973

Seabiscuit jacket
I checked the measurements, and know there is a chance it could be a tad to small for me...(a 38, maybe a snug 40) I thought of you even before I placed the bid BK ;) H, I will of course supply more info when I receive the jacket. Listing describes the main zip as a brass Talon. I have no...- Mike1973

Seabiscuit jacket
Just scored this off ebay... Vintage, and a small size, so I'm afraid not much help to anyone looking for a decent repro of this style. :( I was surprised I won it though, as my bid was low, and reflected what I had in my paypal account from ebay selling, rather than what I thought it was...- Mike1973

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Not really from a garage sale, more like a garage clearout! Driving though town to see my Nan at the weekend spotted this charming little fella by the side of the road. Out of curiosity pulled over to have a look, then drove on... Got to the end of the road and the the magpie in me made me...- Mike1973

Anderson Shelter....
Sorry Seimon, I wasn't in a position to doing any saving...:( The site is over an hour away and us and my boss was on a tight schedule. I didn't even get a chance to stick my nose inside. -
Anderson Shelter....
I wonder how many are left undiscovered in peoples gardens? My guess is hundreds, if not thousands! Here is one I saw after just being discovered, somewhat unceremoneously, yesterday, while doing a site visit in Haslemere, Surrey. Looked like it has just been buried after the war... -
Guess the Jacket...
Smart jacket! My Great Uncle was stationed in Berlin in '45, and mentioned getting German tailors to add sleeves to jerkins. He said his tailor used an old blanket. Never heard of making totally new jackets out of the parts, but I'm not surprised.- Mike1973

Classic 30's armchair - Desperately needs new home!
Yep. Not sure for how long though... I was sat in it this morning waking up with a cup of tea and a good book, but it's plonked right in the middle of an already small room! Having to shuffle around it is obviously starting to get a bit tiresome! lol Where abouts in Wales are you? When...- Mike1973

No JD's in my family I'm afraid rgraham, although the likeness is spooky :eek: Although if I went into his style of 'banking' think how many more jackets I could get... (where's a tommy gun weilding smiley when you need him!:eusa_doh: ) On a mildly interesting tangent, as we're talking...- Mike1973

Classic 30's armchair - Desperately needs new home!
Slightly off topic, but check out these guys down in Brighton - http://www.artdeco-sofas.com/artdeco.html Baron, I know exactly where you're coming from... Got a pair of these 10 years ago from a local tip, £5 each. Since then they've never really fitted in our little '20's terrace...- Mike1973

Classic 30's armchair - Desperately needs new home!
Faded, thread bare, and a few splits... I love it to bits, but there is no longer any room for it in or humble abode...:( Free to a good home. Anyone fancy a restoration project? If not it'll have to go to armchair heaven... :eusa_booh- Mike1973

I come from a background of doing Second World War and Great War Living History, so since a teenager have always had a short back and sides. I'm 35 now so really getting too old for it, but it has lead on to a love of vintage clothes, and there's no age limit for being a civilian ;) Hair's...- Mike1973
