7 year resurrection. A record! lol
I've had this thread bookmarked now for a couple of years. The last time I was here, which was probably a month ago, the pictures were still here. I'm curious as to who removed them. Would it have been Chamorro or do the pictures only stay on the site for a certain period of time?

7 years. Anything could have happened. Not the least of which he/she closed a photo hosting account or it was closed due to inactivity. Or, they just got a life and don't waste all day here like some of us... lolEither way, they're gone.

The Toko-Ri jacket is unfortunately not in the Gibson Barnes catalogue anymore. Too bad. What a nice jacket configuration. And what a great movie, and book.

You're right that the jacket is not in their catalogue or on their website anymore but they do still make the jacket. I asked them about it last month and they will still make the jacket for people that want one.

Another version of the "Toko-Ri" jacket.

The GW jacket looks like a dead-ringer for the one in "Toko-ri" (minus the name tag)....but I don't think John could pass for William Holden

I never knew till I saw this film that some officers wore olive slacks, rather than khaki chinos? Gots to get me a pair. Though maybe I'll wear them with something more subtle than a chino shirt?

There once was an air green shirt, at least during WWII (much as there was a camouflage gray shirt to match that uniform), but these were rarely worn - good luck finding one.

I'll stick to the green slacks, I'm not a renactor, just a aviation nerd. Slacks should be easy enough?

Maybe Charlie McGraw, if McGraw had a very accomplished wig make we don't know about?
