Summers End Defence Of The Realm Attire!

[Mooncat]

Having seen Nellie's tweet regarding the wave of merch, I'm now torn between paying for the costume or some merch (which will obviously get more wear) :?

[LivingForever]

I'm going to have to be a boring old fart and come in regular clothes - we're a bit broke until Karin gets paid from her new job, and the tickets, fuel and hotel are more than enough outlay for one gig...

(sorry)

Don't worry you won't be the online one in civvy's

You could always wear your demob suit. You know the one. The one lurking at the back of the wardrobe for the last 5 years!

I'm going to scavenge the town looking for headwear tomorrow and Monday. I hope to at least aquire some kind of pipe. At least I have the jacket. Chocks away!

This is what you need, Mouse - a licorice one.



You can always eat it once you've finished with it as well.

[RacingHippo]

And everyone will crowd round you wanting a nibble of your pipe!

Had a slight stroke of luck wandering around Leicester today with Son of Pedro, looking for somewhere to buy the last few bits and pieces for his Uni flat.
Stumbled onto a shop called "Irish" which appeared to be an outdoor gear shop (boots, skater gear, rucksacks, etc.) but one of the window displays had some military gear in it...and one or to items had price tags on....

Inside we discovered the Military Basement which was crammed with loads and loads of stuff from all the forces it seemed.
Quite a lot was a bit pricey but there were some reasonably priced items to be had.

So, if the last-minute desparation plan I hatched yesterday falls through (still only bothering with head gear), I will have an alternative hat! Phew!

 

[Mouse]

I have a Russian paratrooper's hat in my possession! It's quite snug and it muffles my hearing, so I definitely won't be wearing it when music is being played, but it'll do.

This might prove to be controversial, but I don't like licorice...

[Pedro]

It's a filthy habit....but it takes allsorts....

[Pedro]

Well I am nearly sorted for DOTR.
As previously declared, I can't get any actual military garments in my size or that will not result in me melting (My miltary-style "FROST*" T-shirt will be good enough)....so it is just headgear for me. I had two plans and they'll both work.

Things just require a small amount of customisation to get them to pass muster.

I'm also working on an additional item that seems appropriate at such celebrations of national pride.

[The Cosmic Lawnmower]

I'm afraid it'll probably be civvies or at least regular Frost* attire for the Isle of Wight contingent too, unless we have some fortuitous last minute luck.
Mucho looking forward to it all the same.

[Fogeyspasm]

Well im sorted, maybe a last minute comedy moustache to buy, but ready for action. (Damn i will need to shave to get it to stick due to my "designer stubble" or to put it correctly "Can't be ar*ed shaving stubble"
Still got some overheating issues though :lol:
