Can't say I'm a big fan of the current mens fashions where everything is skin tight and two sizes too small, liitle did Norman Wisdom know that he was setting a fashion trend in the 1950s.

Chinos or Levis dockers I like

I usually only wear jeans with a vintage jacket- Levis or a good Japanese 501 copy. Khakis and military pants are way too dress up for me- I feel foolish trying to look like a WW2 guy or Steve Mcqueen in "Great Escape". When I was young I used to do it all the time but even then I felt a little weird- ESPECIALLY if someone said "Hey you look like a pilot!..." which happened a couple of times. Now I dress up like a 135 lb. 25 year old Japanese guy- jeans, vintage jacket, T-shirt and funny sneakers...

That Japanese guy wearing size 36 .

I'm glad that this popped up. I want to get a pair of ww2 USN dungarees, as they were called. I was casting about and looked at Bronson or one of those cats. I nearly shat on my uppers (to use a phrase from Dash Hammett) when I saw the price. £380 (give or take a quid) or $330. Who the hell do they think is going to spend that?

Younger folks who have no idea about it’s value.

 

[John Luder]

There are nearly as many manufacturers of WW2 repro uniforms and gear as there were actual, disparate, manufacturers during the war. No two companies produced the same, identical thing then or now. Thus, I don't need to buy an overpriced knock-off.
At the Front, and WW2 Impressions also make the dungarees. Each is currently out of stock on 34 waist. So, I can wait. Or do without. I don't wear jeans much anymore in any case. I prefer khakis/chinos in the spring and summer, and cords for winter and fall.
Not to mention the fact that my wife has forbidden my using the mastercard. But that''s a story for another time.
Cheers (almost)
