Nice jacket and wonderfull pair of boots they look new.

Quasi new about the M48 . The original soles were broken so had to resole them but the leather sole broke too ! My Cobbler had to replace all the leather sole and rubber too . In parallel he had to make a total make over with the soles of a pair of 1943 jump boots ( I'll make a post about it in the thread "what boots ...." . here are some pics , not all of them . And , about the Goddwear Bronco , I'm trully in love with it !!! And wait for the next I placed order on with J C ( no Christ !!!! ahahah ! ) , a RW 233780 . But John is a very busy man !!

The last pic was taken just after the half sole were sewn , you can still see some water on the rubber , this water is applied while the sewing machine works . Love that details !!

So I decided to get my bronson Mfg A1 on , after a lot of work on : under shower , grease , massage and in the closet as a ball, taking care to apply certain folds to reduce the boxy shoulders that were too prnonced to my taste , now It's fine . Have a nice monday folks !

Too many marine corp HBT pants here.

These ar really cool pants !! Comfy , pockets very practical ( well the one on the bottom is more ...aesthetic ? but cool ! ) . And HBT is , when well constructed , very solid . We could make a P44 Pants Gang !!!! ahahaha !!! I see taht on the Bonson web site it's one of the only pants that are always in stock and at a very reasonnable price due to the quality. Love them !I even got 3 P44 shorts for the summer , when one is dirty I wear another .

Yeah - i really love that parka - and especially the A2 i got from my wife - 3rd week in a row when i try to wear her every day ...

I try low-carb and artificial sugar - always around 100 kg / 1.90 mtr / 61 yrs but still feel kinda "stuffed" and try to drop some weight anyway ...

To older you get the more difficult it is to loose weight - at least that's my impression

Never tought it's the BRONSON A1 - i own one as well - seems i need to follow your example and get more work into her. I don't like those boxy shoulders on mine - like a HERSHEY-bar and need to get rid of 'em.

Loooove them MONKEY-pants Yves

I don’t want to met anyone wearing same jacket/ pants in real life.
I was avoiding wear A2 many years for that reason, until I found out I rarely met anyone wearing A2 in real life.
I am waiting somebody make affordable Para-marine jacket or pants. Because the full set looks both German and French Style.
