Great A-1's, but what is the man in the dark overcoat wearing underneath [if anything ?]

Paddy's plus 4s and gaiters if I'm not mistaken

To hell with the fat guy's lack of pants, I am more worried about that historically incorrect sleeve tunneling :lol:

Grand example of an A-1. Really enjoy seeing these evocative images from between the wars. I'm concerned about bunching on A-1 sleeves, but looking at this image perhaps I shouldn't be so picky.

The following navy jacket looks sharper than many images I've before too. Can't beat the A-1 for style.

And the names...Zeus, how cool is that ?!

Great photos! I love the A-1. John, I believe the man you are referring to is wearing knickerbockers. Man, does that look strange with a long overcoat. :shock:

When I saw the photo, and posted my reply, I could hardly type because I was laughing so much, it really tickled me. Must remember not to wear my Irvin with lederhosen !
