likewise, I have a pretty bog-standard Sony Walkman for cassette tapes. Model WM-EX116. Still works fine. I considered throwing it out the other day along with a box of jazz tapes, but I didn't get around to it. Happy to pop in the post for you instead - PM me if req'd. Also, let me know if...

I'd agree with Jackdaw's comments re shortening. I had about 4-5 inches taken off all round, but mine was an XXL and I'm only 5'9", but a bit of a friar tuck in the belly department... So shortened, the bush shirt came to mid thigh on me and generated fewer quizzical glances from passers-by than...

I've had reasonable success with mothkilling hangers and paper you can hang up in your wardrobe - Rentokill is one brand. I used both hangers and paper for a belt & braces approach and it worked for the stuff in my wardrobe. For other stuff I use those big ziplock-style bags with a basic valve...

I've bought them from http://boundtree.co.uk before. They're currently £37.50 and it says Free delivery on internet orders...

I bought a Ranger Extreme from a chap on this forum and he'd sewn ~5cm velcro strips into the sleeves just above the cuffs - they do a great job of keeping the wind out on blowy days, I don't know if velcro fits in with the ethos of your mods, but it definitely works! Your mods look really good...

PM sent re brolly(!)

I have one of these jackets, and whilst my girlfriend thinks it looks completely ridiculous, I personally love it! I bought mine from Varusteleka, a Finnish army surplus shop, it's web page has pics and text describing the surprisingly thorough spec of the jacket, e.g. under the rim of...

my XXL frame is heaving with regret :-)

Hi Daryl, Similarly to the above, If they're XXL I'll have them please! Cheers, keith

I was once given a pillar-box red duffel coat (a Ralph Lauren one even :-)) and it was 80% wool. I thought if I ever wore it and yawned in the street, someone would be liable to stick a letter in my gob, so I decided to darken it. I used a couple of packets of black Dylon and a bunch of salt...

PM sent re Viper pouch...

I'm on the... wide side, and when I first wore my XXL bush shirt, it came down to my knees, which was longer than I needed so I got someobody to take a few inches off, and make a 2nd chest pocket and shoulder patches w/ the spare material. I still get "Friar Tuck" comments from time to time...

Bagsie me the Ray Mears Outdoor Survival handbook (2001) - PM on its way...

I'd be grateful if you could PM me the link too...

Hi, Tobes sold it and I bought it - and I'm slightly sorry to admit that it's a pretty comfortable fit! (given that it's a C52) I could've gotten away with a size smaller, but the drawstring waist and velcro cuffs mean I can get use of my hands and imply (slightly) that I'm not quite the size...

I'm up for this if still available - PM sent.
