Pavy8 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So now that I'm getting regular paychecks again, i thought what better way to celebrate than to go scrounging through a few local thrift stores, and boy did I. Shirt, Cold Weather, Field, 80% Wool 20% Nylon, Olive Green 108 Dated 1978, Dale Fashions Inc. Shirt, Utility, Cotton Sateen, OG 107 Dated 1975, Selma Apparel Corp.

Eaglehurst Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Some nice picks there! I do like the US desert patterns.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airportable Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very nice little collection there. Bit far for me to come and have a 'root' through those stores though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airportable Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 As a matter of intrest I found this cap in a pocket of a British desert smock I picked up. Looks very similar colours/pattern to your Coat cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Wish i had some similar shops near me-hold on,come to think of it there are NO surplus shops etc near me at all:blush::blush: Great finds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavy8 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) As a matter of intrest I found this cap in a pocket of a British desert smock I picked up. Looks very similar colours/pattern to your Coat cold weather. That does look alot like our woodland camo, and that does look an awful lot like a good old map-hat. The brim looks alittle off though, does it have a tag? Wish i had some similar shops near me-hold on,come to think of it there are NO surplus shops etc near me at all Great finds. Believe it or not, none of these items actually came from a surplus store, just little back ally 'used/2nd hand junk' store's with clothing sections, and goodwill store's.
