sorry I didn't read all the pages but i wanted to pass this on in case it was not common knowledge.
these suggest Valstar made Bogart's trench coat. I have no idea if that is true

Some pictures of what I will be wearing New Years. I just got the chesterfield from ebay (what can anyone tell me about the brand “Kennedy’s”?)
Haven’t decided on the vest or a simple cumberbund, this vest does match the angle of the jacket perfect, but I may just go back to the cumberbund.
As someone already said “Reserve Officer Training Corps” in reference to the fact the photo says they are army students and someone else commented that they were not wearing uniforms i.e how could they be Army students. My comment was to say they could easily be Army student in that time frame...
The chance of a MG42 firing out of battery and destroying the gun is slim to none. Not saying it never happens/happened but it is no more a concern than just about any gun blowing.
it happens from bolt bounce and since the end of the war most people have used an anti bounce device in the...
the grenades are all models, but they look good. The can and rack they are in was way more expensive!
what is really amazing is the '44 weapons simplification programs. The infantry uniform/equipment/weapons reads like GWOT 2008.
thanks, I like guns!
I have a pretty good collection, last year I got a semi M1 Thompson and a semi M3 greasegun but they still have 16" barrels, so I won't post pictures of them looking hideous.
I have a couple vintage handguns, 1911s and P38s and a replica WWII 1911. Just got two new...
personally I think a cumberbund looks better with a dinner jacket. But both those lower vests look nice. I don't know which is more vintage or correct though.
I don't seem to be able to do PMs yet. I have the information for you but my tailor was very specific about you approaching this german guy in the proper manner, so if you can PM me with an email I can give you the information.
Very excited, I bought an Inverness cloak off of ebay and was not sure of its size or really its condition. Since it was coming from Japan I was probably just going to have to eat it if it did not work out. Well it arrived today and it is awesome! I was wondering from the pictures as it did not...
I think it was very common in weddings, as is the groom wearing a white dinner jacket while the rest wear black. it may not be proper but it was done a lot. (I am commneting on late 50 to 60's pictures I know nothing about earlier)
Just showing the height of fashion circa 43/44 on the coast of France. The Luftwaffe's Fallschirmjagers were stationed throughout the area and billeted with civilians in their homes and ate generally off the economy.
These shots were taken in 07 in Caretan and St Mere Eglise as part of...
Just got my things form Vintageshirt. The boiled front shirt and detachable collars are awesome!
The vest is a bit big and I will have to have it tailored to get it to fit well, and I knew I would not be happy with the bowtie but need a white one until I find the one I want.
Now that I...
I have a full length beaver coat that would be very at home at a harvard game. But since we are dressing "vintage" I don't see the need to be old to wear it.
It look great IMO and of course goes very well with a hat.
Fur jackets were very common place in the NE in the winter. Last time I...
