Tropical Breeches

Got in 2 pairs of tropical breeches. One pair is M43 and near mint, beautiful pair. Same material as the shorts. Thank you @DAK D for your patience and generosity .

The second pair is a 1942 field used "whipcord" material. Another beautiful pair. I need a standing mannequin now. Thank you Barry Searson for this pair.

Those are pretty hard to come by mate, but they are in very good condition, I especially like the Corded pair, and you do get some great pieces, is it easier to get the better types in the states, it seems that the USA have a wider choice and items are more prolific than over here in the UK

Thanks @Davejb, I have been very fortunate to have two very good friends who collect DAK and Tropical and have been instrumental in the growth of my collection. Im on an extremely tight budget and being offered excellent items at a below market price and being able to pay on time has been the blessing for me. @DAK D has helped me in education as well, more than he probably knows. I am fortunate to have him as my friend.

I do believe we had alot of DAK prisoner of war camps over here so that may account for the many items here in the states, but I have gotten some of my best from the UK.

Nice comments Tony,

For those who have assisted you on MCN...Davejb and Dermot,

Great to have you all on here, as we all need assistance with different militaria items we buy....and perhaps we know not much about! (but we buy as we like the items and make rash decisions sometimes!)

Thanks to you All....and best wishes....Desert Rat
