I think my preoccupation with ww2 US hbt camo started when, having read an osprey book about the USMC my dad took me to the imperial war museum as a boy and I saw a mannikin dressed in it.
Anyway, I have bought sets of it over the years, now only owning a repro army cut set. What I do have however is vintage duck Hunter stuff as well as
A J crew IPhone cover
a wash bag
t shirts
BDU uniform set
ralph lauren pants
Ralph Lauren wallet...
Now for ages I have been mulling around with a way to combine that fondness with a liking for the short pullover parka, the hooded type that has a big chest pocket and a though pocket on the belly. I find them to be ludicrously practical garments. have been trying to source the cloth and a maker to run me up a custom one. Had to be a pullover and had to be ww2 pattern print.
Until the day before yesterday, late, when I found that Carhartt are making just such a thing for this season. Green and brown variants. Green however, globally out of stock in XL . How crap is that?
Next morning straight into town to find one, tried several places with no joy. Finally ordered a brown/tan one which was my second choice. Then went to work. I was a bit early so I had a trawl and found ONE UK place that has the green side in XL.
What could I do?
Anyway, anyone interested, search on Carhartt Hayden jacket in "outdoor" camo.
