Not vintage enough mate. These are 40's garments you're wearing. The combo does not sit well. Do some research and you'll find a good look.

I reckon this thread killed Ian as he's not posted yet.

Perhaps a pair of the 40's style Converse Chuck Taylors? I don't think the trainers look too bad-I confess I don't always wear a complete 40's ensemble when I wear a WWII repro jacket-the D-1 and Jeep cap look great, BTW. I'd love one of the caps, but on seeing what they charge for them, perhaps not!

i wasn't trying to create an complete original 40s look just showing off the d1 with the knit cap i like my trainers as they are to be fair i do also have some chuck Taylor's which are probably more suitable to the rest of my gear but im not to bothered about that but thanks for the advise gents

Good idea Mike. Chuck Taylors. They would look great. Those Jeep caps can be bought from the likes of SOF or Epic militaria for about twenty quid. Probably not the same quality as the McCoy's one but they would do the job.

Only takes one bush trip and the cheaper ones smell just like the expensive ones. It is how they recover (or don't recover) after a handwash... I think the sweatpants/trackie daks add to the looks as well.

I suggest these. Chitchat picked me up a,pair and I love them for no-boot days. Gets lots of compliments too.

Purely personal choice, but I'd ditch the trainers and sweat pants and not go with Converse, but go with M-42 service shoes and either '37 or '44 LVC's, '42 Lee's or M1937 service trousers for more smarter occasions. These choices would be a better match for the nature of the D-1 and cap, IMHO.

The D-1 would look cool with a Real McCoys enlisted mans wool shirt underneath if you like their stuff (I do too).

Cheers
