@Anesthetist:

Anybody out there have a Tripper? It's high on the want list.

  … hell no!

It's a German term for 'Gonorrhoea'

We have rainbow thread here, it's a great option for bobbin thread hemming…

Wow, AND that collar!!  I'm such a sucker for cool details…

Apparently the new Tripper Type III has an orange lining

Garrison pants arrived.  REALLY liking these - fabric and the cut.  Note they are higher-than-average waisted, so this may turn some prospective buyers off.  The measurements showed a pretty narrow thigh which I was a bit worried about, but I'm not finding it to be an issue at all.  Granted this is pre-soak so everything will snug up some.  Also shown is the Calvary twill map shirt which I use as a light jacket in the Fall/Spring.

great look @Bluegrass

[Broark]

Very nice, I've been looking at those same pants for a little while now.
On the fence mostly because I can't decide if they look khaki or green!

[Bluegrass]

Thx Rocket!

@Broark they def. have a mostly green tint - maybe they're more of a grey/green… there is a lot of white peeking through.  But I think most people would, at first glance, call them green.

[Broark]

Thanks @Bluegrass, I've had a few others on other forums tell me the same thing so maybe my eyes are just off.
What size are those? If they're 36 I might be interested in measurements.

[Bluegrass]

They're 38" - as big as they get!

[grandmasterben]

Perfect fits on everything my man!

For example:

@Bluegrass the Garrison Pants look great. Unfortunately although I'm a few inches shorter than you, my legs are disproportionately long, and I'm not sure that the inseam would work for me.

[Bluegrass]

@Graeme I sure hear you, having struggled to find nice clothing that fits well my whole life.  But it's kind of funny, as I've gotten older, the shorter I find I'm wearing my pants inseam - even with my IH gear with 36-38" inseams, I find myself sporting big cuffs and moving it back to 32-33".  I think some of it is the cut of the pants makes it more viable, i.e. higher rise vintage cuts - but it's also the fact that I have all these awesome boots I want to show off…

[Graeme]

I think that somewhere around a 34.5" inseam is about as short as I can get away with. Any shorter than that, and they'll be flapping around my ankles!

Perhaps buying awesome boots is the solution.

Oh, wait, I've got size 14 (US) feet. Finding footwear that fits is also a problem…

Hey Davito, you have the Indigo and  the Cream/White version of the melton wool drover?  Nice.

Thx guys.

@Omega Man the vatdyed indigo is 31 oz meltonwool, the white/cream drover is made from NOS Vintage Military wool blankets. Yes i had both but sold the blanket. Thx man
