    M-69 Transport Coat

    I think it would be fair to say that the coat and the label are an odd couple.:) :mad: B T

    Pajama Jeans?!

    For folks who wish to wear their PJs, or sweats to the Mall... Now you can, with jeans flavored PJs. Not that you weren't already. We await the flipflops in disguise. ;) B T

    Type B flying helmet sold for 2.700£!!!

    Nice collection- Speaking of Sidcot suits... I have a rather empty claim; I once bought a mint/NOS Sidcot suit, which was a good fit for a 6-footer, complete with the furry collar stuffed in the pocket. It also had furry pockets. The princely sum of 35 quid bought it from Mad Mike's...

    vintage zippers?

    These are not very faithful copies of the originals- the pulls are a bit better than the sliders, which are quite different from the originals. B T

    Well- I have had samples of VENTILE in plain weave and Gab. I believe "cotton gab" was used by explorers, both in the tropics and up high mountains and other cold places. I have a vintage trench coat, which is a cotton gab but is it Grenfell...? no label. Also, the Grenfell "name" has been...

    Yes, indeed- I remember when we were both trying to get to the bottom of the heavy cotton/Canvas/Duck conundrum. It seems that terms come and go, get picked up again and used for a different thing. Now, what was that heavy, plain-weave cloth, that doesn't look like what we know to be...

    If you were to GooGlpedia it, you would no doubt find out a lot about Oxford weave shirts and the basket-weave texture of the Cloth. But I think there is another "Oxford" termed cloth, perhaps not older but definitely a different cloth (I could be wrong). I'm thinking of a heavy, outer...

    The Humble Anorak.....

    Seems like the Cadet Smock would be your cup of tea, then- that orange Anorak is a dead-ringer for it and Tintin's is very close, as is Bobby's. A fan of the Raglan sleeve, are you? B T

    Minimum of base and middle layers- Interesting- I pushed that same envelope today in the cold (about -8c and dry)with the meagre combination of: the string T-shirt and Swedish army wool undershirt, (this combination really is a winner)under "the cadet smock"(not the Swedish Anorak). Long...
