A few pictures of me, US WW2 uniforms!
an ancient thread but I wanted to say great job ! Ans yes from what Ive read some Ranger wore jump boots, but I don't have any documentation on that. Additionally of course as you know, WWII guys didn't index their trigger fingers. The canteen on top of the e tool is a nice touch. Bravo -
Hair cuts
It's pretty obvious in the above pictures that the undercut is at the width of a set of clippers. As far as the hair hanging over the back that's going to happen if the guy doesn't get to a barber every month, or if even he does and that's the way he likes it. It's not like there was one...- _RAGNAR_

Hair cuts
The heavy undercut with long top is completely authentic to the prewar period and through the war especially in Europe. In the USA the military cut has always had a much shorter top and faded sides, which took over as the standard men's haircut after the war. In European armies it was far more...- _RAGNAR_

White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters
ordered a white and navy one from Nauticalia, love them both. The Navy is very dark and hard to tell its not black until you get in daylight. Very happy with the purchase. -

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
You wouldn't be able to see it in pictures. It’s not pure white, just natural off-white. Pretty much every period piece of German clothing or equipment I own (or have seen) is done with natural thread, fliegerbluses, tunics, pants, boots, magazine pouches, leather belts and straps, etc. For...- _RAGNAR_

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
Thanks a lot. Another question: Does anyone know if the original german jackets were made with natural colored thread? Almost all other German stuff of the era used natural thread and had that contrast stiching look. I would personally love the look on a brown jacket (plan to get an areo...- _RAGNAR_

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
I have a few questions concerning sizing. I wear a US 44R in almost everything but can fit into some 42R pretty well, more a shoulder width issue than a chest size issue. I will wear the jacket with turtlenecks more than anything most likely. So just wondering do you suggest a 42 or 44...- _RAGNAR_

Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?
Funny I’ve noticed on this board German stuff is somehow inherently evil and anyone that owns any is immediately suspect. Then add massively offensive comments like “skinhead, southern, redneck types” that go completely unchecked and even unnoticed as offensive. Interesting attitudes towards...- _RAGNAR_

Custom Oil Paintings
Look forward to the site being back up. I was looking at getting some very large paintings from one of these kind of places but am worried about spending $500+/- and what the qaulity will be, since you can't see up front what you are getting. -

Mobile Phones?
I've been with people who not only talked on their phone at a dinner table in a restaurant while the rest of us sat there, but then wanted the waitress to wait for them to order! Then again my past roommate would get your attention to tell you a story and then in the middle of it, pull out...- _RAGNAR_

Are notch lapel dinner jackets "correct"?
What is interesting if I remember that scene correctly is that it is three men having dinner in a private home discussing business.
