Awesome outfit - would perfectly fit my 48 Pan ...I prefer wearing the old vintage leathers when riding. The jacket is 1940 as are the leather jodhpurs. The WW2 3 buckle Patton boots were my father's he wore when he was on Iwo Jima. He had just traded his Marine issued low ankle boots with a tanker on the transport ship. He said he was so glad he did too, because he said the black sand was a nightmare. Those other guys with the low ankle boots with the canvas leggings were complaining of the sand getting in and cutting blisters on their feet. View attachment 39330
Are these WW2 tanker boots?
