Mod to Suedehead

[Man-of-Mystery]

It was a nice outfit M-o-M but I believe you were a little late and the poll was running.

I was a mere handful of hours behind time, when most of the US was asleep. And some other guy who entered out of time got his entry counted. Swizz, I say!

Found this Tanker jacket for sale on ebay :

Made by Carter Industries from flame-resistant fabric. Quite a nice cut to it. Not bad for £20 (and no, I'm not the seller)

Did any of you guys wear 5 eyelet boots? old steel toes seem quite common in this configuration.

I can't remember how many laceholes my first pair of cherry reds had, but they were comparatively short.

Kind of a daft question, I guess.

My dad had a pair of these “ joe ‘awkins boots in the early 70s. As I got older ( and he had them issued for a number of years).
Anybody know who made them?

They are the white tops, solovair used to make them in brown and black, increasingly rare now.

Bugger! I did try and wear em back in early 80s but they were 2 sizes to big lol

Didn’t TUF do a similar thing? Seem to remember my dads having a combat black rubber sole on?

Not that I know of, wouldn't surprise me though. That style was pretty common.

I can't remember seeing this pic.

I was discussing this new jacket with Mr. K the other day in TLGO and actually had a chance to wear it and snag a pic of the fit yesterday. Since the rest of the ensemble is pretty solidly M2S material I'm going to go ahead and post it here. Topman, much like Uniqlo tends not to be cut for the heftier chap and this is an XL even though I'm barely over a 40" chest.

Looks good. I just picked up a Brooks Brothers "brooksgate" tan harrington. Haven't had a chance to wear it, still nervous about light colored clothes getting 'effed.
