A pair of moleskin trousers for shoulder seasons. Had to buy mens ones as the womens ones looked like I wearing old fashioned jodpurs. Not every woman has huge hips and skinny legs. I hate buying jeans and trousers. All these different fashon styles do my head in! So I generally end up with mens items. I had to try on 4 pairs (2 female and two male) before I got a decent fit. Imagine the backwards and forwards plus postage costs trying to do that with online shopping! Proper shop, helpful assistant, paid cash and a thank you for my custom. Just how it should be, and no waiting for it to arrive several days later, only to find things don't fit, or quality is not what you expected either.

Earlier I bought a set of yoke straps, grey one on top of photo:

I have this Savotta Askare that I intend to fasten bottle pouches to and make it a hiking belt kit.

The yoke is to be fastened on the backside to the two loops on the Askare and on the front the yoke will be fastened to the bottle pouches like ammopouches on pattern 37.

Today’s arrival was a Dutch Army 35 litre backpack; it was advertised as Grade 1 &, apart from the ‘surplus’ smell & the previous owner’s name written in tiny letters, it’s in mint condition.
Cost £28 & I’m more than happy.

We’ve got that one but haven’t got the stainless steel spigot yet; the water definitely looks & tastes better after running through it.

Austrian Army Boots. I found these on Facebook Marketplace last week for £20 plus postage. The feel very comfortable around the house. I gave them a clean and applied lavish amounts of Mink Oil and they've come up lovely.





 
Your carpet is much too clean, you need to get out in them :)
It's not actually my carpet, it's this rectangle box thing that you can fill with all sorts of things, currently filled with my son's toys. They are quite useful but they are covered in like a shag pile (my girlfriend buys them, not me)
