Pip - those sunglasses are so cool!Pip said:Well here's my entry for today from the WW2 uniform collection, have gone for a distinctly summery theme.
Warning though.....nasty leg alert on my photos...this is what skiing and the British weather does to them lol
Anyhoo, the uniform. The uniform shown is that of Polish Air Force whilst serving in North Africa in 1942/1943. Typically known as KD (khaki drill) it incorporates a traditionally styled 'bush jacket' and a British design disaster known as 'Bombay Bloomers'...shorts with a masive turn up that could be rolled down into bell-bottomed trousers in the cold North African evenings.
The majority of troops despised Bombay Bloomers, so quite simply cut them down into normal shorts. Pracitcal in application...totally lacking in style however lol !!!
The sunglasses are RAF issue sunglasses, incorporating a leather side-sheild to protect the eyes from desert sand and dust.
The boots are the 1936 pattern flying boots, a boot that has become part of the quintessential "RAF look" from WW2.
Tootle pip!

Does that style have anything in common with the "teashades"? I've seen the really small round lensed sunglasses worn in pieces set in the 30s etc, but teashades were a60s thing as far as i know. What's the difference? Aside from the protection on the sides that is ?pgoat said:those are much nicer - just to show everyone the difference:
The Julbos are nice, but they look a little too modern, perhaps.
