Great War truck Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This uniform has come up for sale on the internet. It is such a nice example i thought you might want to see what the well dressed US truck driver was wearing during the war: Tunic with corporals stripe with MTC badge: MTC patch on other shoulder: MTC Collar disc: brodie helmet with MTC badge (these were usually added after the war for veterans parades): This jacket is the item i covet the most. it is the predecessor of the Mackinaw and i think looks fabulous: These are incredibly rare and this is the first one i have ever seen.

Interestingly, the seller wont provide the sizes. He says that if you intend to wear them then you are doing the wrong thing and basically he does not want to sell to you - which i thnk is a very honest approach.

Enigma Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Very smart indeed. hard to find an original uniform that fits me. I'm thin enough to wear them, my lenght does give some problems (1.80 M) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 How about this for looking smart... My MTC uniform; Do you have an equivalent for the very British word 'Dapper' in your native tongue? (It's a compliment and in this case most deserved ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Do you have an equivalent for the very British word 'Dapper' in your native tongue? (It's a compliment and in this case most deserved ) I know what you mean but translating is difficult. Maybe "netjes" or even better "stijlvol". The last would translate to stylish as in someone who is a sharp dresser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
