I've made a few of my old pants into shorts, so its a very viable option.

But if they are super relaxed as pants, they'll be particularly baggy shorts.

If you don't like the colour or the fit, wouldn't it be easier to sell them and buy some you do like?

If anyone knows of a store selling the Mallory jacket and vest (navy or gray) in size 52, please let me know. Looking for both pieces together. Not too fond of the new colors. cheers!

Cabourn's Autumn/Winter collection looks great--"an in-depth look at the clothing worn by the British Military during World War 1. The key pieces are inspired by those styles worn by King George V and his son Edward VIII. During The Great War the troops fought under the most extreme and volatile conditions. Garments needed to be tough and durable in order to keep the battle weary troops warm and dry and offer some comfort in the harsh, black environment."

I was considering that blue cameraman last night, but kept zooming in and thinking I'd look like I was wearing a tablecloth :\

Has anyone seen the beeswax aircraft jacket in person? Can you point me to a picture representing its real color best? It looks orange or pink depending on the photo.

 

[clausc]

I do not think it's pink, more redish, I have the blue one though!!!
