I need to see more of the original stuff in living color. I wish I had a pair of originals though do think the Buzz ricksons look snazzy on their own eventhough they may not be accurate.

I think it even advises officers not to buy some private purchase shoes/boots and instead buy the enlisted pattern? I don't have my copy on me at the moment so I could be wrong through.
Suppose that's how that monk-strap shoe fad got started?MrBern said:There was great concern over new officers duped into buying unauthorized goods from dubious salesmen.
