The Best Advice You'll EVER get! Guaranteed

[Edward]

Welcome to my world Edward !! i dont limit myself to one time frame ! if its USAAF issued used by or whatever , ill collect it !! Nice B3 preserver you have there , Shame about the repro harness , but an original will turn up one day ! Im still hunting for a "red group["
OOPPPSS im digressing from the thread !! sorry

ya I came across a real QAC harness but it was way out of my price range. can't recall where I saw it but I'm sure its gone now. the repro is pretty authentic looking though and weighs the same! lol! I have a bit of 44/45 era stuff but really like the early war gear.

Today I bought a bedsheet storage box in Ikea where I can store all my jackets. I put some mothballs in there just to be safe. Question is: how do I store the jacket when I wear it on a day to day basis?

I'm lucky that I have a man cave at home, so if in doubt I chuck it on the floor. But then that pretty much goes for everything in there. Makes life easy finding stuff - it's on the floor!
