I had just mentioned a few situations where high boots are worn as well as others. A bit of common sense applies when asking questions, I suppose. I would first evaluate who I'm asking the question about their fashions. Instinct has a lot to do in deciding to ask someone why. I wouldn't ask...
Very nicely put, Scotrace! Being in public in uniform 2-3 times per week, I do notice the looks but then the looks are often followed by questions about the uniform and, more importantly, a hearty acceptance. It has much to do with one's willingness to not be self-conscious but to be at ease...
Here are two images of the wallet photo that I did the painting from. I hope this answers your question as to how precise the painted image is. Please feel free to ask more questions.
Best and Enjoy
I Love art
Yes I do and will post that photo shortly. The photo is a wallet size but I will try to explode it so that you can see the details. Thanks for asking and stay tuned.
Hello all. I just wanted to let you all know that I am seriously considering doing oil portraits of children for those interested. As you can see, my paintings are photo realistic. I will work from individual photos. If any of you are interested in portraits of children (or even pets)...
I have been very happy with the items from WPG as well and would highly recommend them. Also, the replicators now available for vintage clothing are producing some nice high quality items. Not only WPG but also Schipperfabrik. I have items from both but I would say that Shipperfabrik has made...
The first 4 letters are my initials including my confirmation name. The S was added to complete the term "draws" because I am an artist - "Oil Paintings" and "Pencil Sketches".
Caz, the Doughboy Center explanation is what was needed. This is good reading material regardless and helps explain the differences between the periods of mfg. By the way, the Red Campaign hat cord is an artillery cord. Thanks for the clarifications.
Caz, your hats are very nice. All are in great condition. I do have a question about your hat being dated back to 1917-18. First of all, did the hat cord come with the hat or was it added later?
If it came with the hat, that would imply military usage. Military campaign hats can be...
My Campaign Hats
Here are my candidates for the Campaign Hat Corps. All three are original M1911 versions. The first is a Stetson and the last two are mfg unknown. All three are in great condition.
NOTE: The 5 rows of stitching around the brim is the giveaway of an M1911
M1911 Stetson...
Just Me. Great photo! I fully understand your being uncomfortable wearing the flared breeches. I always believed that we wear what makes us comfortable. However, If you really like them, get a pair and wear them for training to at least satisfy your own likes.
Yes, that was the point I was making. I have noticed in many napoleanic cavalry photos that the rider did sit more deeply in the saddle with a very extended (long) leg. If one thinks about it, an extended (long) leg and more upright position lessened the need for flared breeches and more...
just_me, to answer your question directly, all of the men (and women) of our troop wear the full breeches at all times in public and at the stables whenever called for and without hesitation. Yes, we do wear them wherever there is a demand for our presence and regardless of what other...
