    Doniger Bargain

    Save your money for your utility bills. Or brace to burn your jackets to keep warm. The arrogance of a bunch of hipsters thinking $700 is a good price when so many in all of our countries are living on the streets. Perhaps sell your collections & donate the money to those lovely Big Pharma...

    What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

    Amazing. Risked 3 experimental DNA altering jabs to dodge getting a cold & has subsequently gotten a cold twice this year. Now relying on very unscientific home remedy to lessen the mild effects of the very thing you got jabbed for. That myopia is hilarious ! I guess that's why some folk can't...

    What is this bag in the USAAF ?

    Hilarious. Like there would be a load of the enemy's bags in use in the UK as well as permitted to be used. The OP pics have a mix of P37 large & small packs. Nothing exciting or exotic. Better than the musette bag.

    What is this bag in the USAAF ?

    Incorrect statement. RAF specific webbing was blue from the M1925 pattern onwards. I have examples in my collection. This is how incorrect "facts" become truth. Like The Ghost Of Kiev. Someone with some authority gets it wrong & no-one dare question them for fear of the mob descending. A fear...

    Denison Smocks

    I would have Brice, were i not blocked/ignored by you ...... :rolleyes: still, i guess that can work both ways. Really can’t be bothered any more. This all seems so trivial against the worldwide con going on. If there’s an Admin still on here, please cancel this account. Burt, you know how to...

    Denison Smocks

    Thanks Danny & Burt. My thinking is along the following lines: 1. Money in the bank gathers no interest 2. Truly high quality ORIGINAL collectibles always increase in value over time 3. The things i buy give me more pleasure than money in the bank 4. Should the banking system collapse, i would...

    Denison Smocks

    Tim, did you end up getting one & if so, which one ? Here’s my Denison. An original 1943 1st pattern. I’ve been sinking my money into WW2 airborne stuff as it keeps going up in price. Better than repro A-2’s....

    The C-1 vest - a design classic

    Thought folks might find this interesting. Below is my C-1 vest. It’s nice. I am calling it a design classic because like the US M1943 jacket & trousers, it was the first of a continuing and obviously linked lineage of kit that has changed little. Below the pics of the C-1 are some of a modern...

    Show us your satchels.

    Here’s my latest: a surplus document holder. I keep my motorbike manuals in it. Cost me £4 plus the stencil

We don’t know what is going on in our mates lives til they tell us.....I certainly wasn’t aware you were anything other than your usual chirpy self from the tone & frequency of your posts on here. i sincerely hope things improve dramatically. I thought you were going...

    SoF Summer Chinos

    Fair enough Tim. Best you go look for those 2 lost people. Or were the KIA rather than MIA ? I didn’t know the reason for the delay til you just told me. I was thinking of pulling the trigger before you bought the entire stock. Apologies for enquiring
