    New Air Force Uniforms to be made by Brooks Brothers

    If I remember correctly from my Marine Corps days, the sleeve length regulation was 1/8" above the second knuckle on your thumb.(kinda long for you lounge posters) but we didnt have any fancy cuff links to show off :) I don't know about air force but she looks about in regulation.

    Thanks for the quick replies guys. That AMT3000 looks to be exactly what I want. Glad to hear everyone is pleased with its performance. Sounds well worth the money.

    Transmitting your own signal

    So I was at my local drive in, and they transmit their own signal for the movie sound. So I thought, can I do that at my house so I can use all my old am radios I have with a cd player or my computer playlist? I started searching and Im not really finding what I looking for. Anyone of you guys...

    Odd that in the movie he had a 3rd Marine Air Wing patch. Not sure about Navy uniform regulations sinse I did my time in the Marines 2nd Air Wing. But we could in no way alter our issued uniforms or wear uniform items with civilian clothes on our free time. Let alone place random patches on...

    Army Officer Trouser questions

    I have a pair of Officer Dress Trousers date stamped 1949. They are a grayish color. I was wondering if these are close enough to pass as a ww2 era uniform item. Also if they do, what color dress shirt would go with it. Also, from my Marine Corps experience, we didnt have a cuff on the paint...

    Help! What boots are these?? I need some

Because of my size (6'2" with a 46" chest and 36" waist) I have a horrible time finding vintage that fits correctly so Ive pretty much given up and...
