On yer bike!
Great link Salv! Those jerseys are superb! How come I haven't spotted them before? Pricey though... better start saving... Now if they did a '30's/'40's style racing jersey, with pointed collar, that would really make my day... Fortworthgal, the saddle is definately a Brooks, you'd be...- Mike1973

On yer bike!
I ride it on it's single-free cog. Flipped the back wheel once onto the fixed cog but just couldn't get the hang of it:eusa_doh: The frame and fork angles are quite slack, and the front wheel has a tendency to flip back all the time, but once you are used to it no problem. I picked up a...- Mike1973

On yer bike!
We didn't let the weather put us off! 22 members of the Veteran Cycle Club turned up for the ride Sunday, but most are more interested in old bikes than wearing period cycling gear. We started in Fareham, and took in a lot of the historic Naval establishments and Palmerston Forts down...- Mike1973

'30's tropical Shirt????
Pockets are pleated, that as well as the epaulettes makes it look military... And yes it's a pullover shirt, which with the collar shape makes me think definately pre-war. Maybe a very small officers shirt, locally made while he was serving out in the Far East, policing the Empire? I...- Mike1973

'30's tropical Shirt????
Going through some old shirts recently I found this - Can't remember exactly where I got it from now, it was a few years ago, but it was very unloved and needed saving. I just wish it was decent size, it's tiny! And what a fantastic shape collar:eusa_doh: Been folded up in the...- Mike1973

Any B-15 experts out there?...
I love my cap! Got it from Miller Hats about 5 years ago, and pretty happy with it now it's well and truely worn in. Got another in the same style from Miller about two years ago, and it's so bad I never wear it! Can't put my finger on what's wrong with it, but it basically doesn't sit right...- Mike1973

Any B-15 experts out there?...
In Action... Apologies for the bad picture, I wore the jacket all last weekend and this is the only shot of me wearing it:eusa_doh: Did a good job though, fits good and kept me warm in the cab;) Now on the case resurecting that basket case Irvin...- Mike1973

B-15 jacket ID?
Great jacket I love jackets that look like they've been well used, you feel if they could talk they'd have a good story to tell, not like an unissued NOS straight out of some forgotten store. Be interested to see how it cleans up? Not easy to tell in the photos but it looks like it's had an...- Mike1973

Show us your sailor uniforms!
Looking the part Cobden;) I have to wear the square rig on public transport everytime we do a ceremony up in the big smoke, it gets a fair bit of attention but 95% of folks think I'm a serving sailor[huh] I get all the old dears saying "touch yer collar for luck!"lol Mine is Second War... -
Show us your sailor uniforms!
Looking good Ray! I know what you mean about figure hugging... several times I've got stuck trying to get in or out of my jersey:eusa_doh: Not a nice feeling if your slightly claustraphobic:eek: I've got a set of Royal Navy rig, which comes out maybe once or twice a year when the... -
Reproduction classic workwear
My working garb... Great look Matt, especially the cap and A-2. This is what I was wearing the other week when I had to take my bus to be inspected - I didn't go out of my way to look vintage, the boots are Doc M's, check shirt from a Gap sale, hand me down jeans, and my favourite 8...- Mike1973

Any B-15 experts out there?...
NAVY DEPARTMENT Started the repairs on the old fella, replacing the all the knits and patching some of the worst holes. When I took the waist knit off last night I had a poke around inside the jacket, and checked out where the label is stitched under the collar. Just visible, even though...- Mike1973

Any plus four aficianados out there...
I think I agree Baron, although it's late here, I'm struggling to stay awake before I turn in. There is a time and place to wear attire like this. Just a shame that I don't play golf, or like a huntin'shootin'fishin... Before I sign off, just want to post some pics of the plus fours. I...- Mike1973

Grey tweed jacket and plus fours, NO LONGER FOR SALE, sorry!
a better shot of the label Tried to get a better shot today in daylight. It's quite conservative in style, and wouldn't look out of place on anything from the mid '30's to up to the '50's, maybe even 60's... I also got a close up of the buttons, which appear to be plastic? When did...- Mike1973
