The Immortal Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 Opps I mean by Pre-1945 military style like variations of civil war, victorian, and WWII like jackets and such.
HappyFeat Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Recently, I bought a few lots at an auction that included a Spanish-American War (1900) navy uniform and some WWII US Army stuff (Fighting 57th) I think. However, all of the stuff was WAYYYYYY too small for me. I love all of it, but at 6'2" 220, there weren't many guys my size pre-1945 in fighting shape I suppose. I do wear a US Navy surplus pea coat, but it is fairly modern. Great topic. Style is built from the ground up!
foxylady Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Wish I could afford some victorian dresses, have a view victorian boots FL FoxyLady
Dawn HH Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I still have my dress uniform from when I was in the service in the late 50's. I doubt that I could fit into it now as I was quite a bit thinner back then. I was a member of the 9th Transportation Batallion First Infantry Division commonally known as The Big Red One. You had to be first in everything. Marriage has a habit of filling you out over the years. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
HappyFeat Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Dawn, you were in the Big Red One? Excellent movie as well...but I am sure you didn't serve with Lee Marvin... Style is built from the ground up!
Dawn HH Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Happyfeat:-) I served with some real characters, but you are right, I never served wth Lee Marvin. I really liked the movies that he made though. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
maninpumps Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I had to vote "yes" if you count an M-1 as clothing. I think they did in 1945 . In my opinion for just target shooting the M-1 is a fine rifle...just kicks like a mule!
