TrenchfootJoe66 Posted May 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2014 This set walked into the Ft Lee show and by some stroke of luck, right to my table. They were not cheap, but you just don't say NO to Windproofs. I didn't take pics of the pants but I will post some better photos later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrenchfootJoe66 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted May 24, 2014 Mich Thanks buddy !! Unfortunately they are not ID'd but with a set that rare it almost doesn't matter. The pants are really cool too with little zippers on the trouser cuffs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riflegreen297 Posted May 25, 2014 Share #10 Posted May 25, 2014 Oh kammo-man, oh kammo-man where art thou?! I figure his Windproof cammo senses should be going tingling by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted May 25, 2014 Share #11 Posted May 25, 2014 Nice 1st pattern print. and thats is why going to shows is much better that on line shoping . o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted May 25, 2014 Share #12 Posted May 25, 2014 Check the pockets! You never know if a name tape is buried in there! Very nice, and not something often seen. Very interesting that it has the direct embroidered rank and branch of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaigonSVFan95 Posted May 25, 2014 Share #13 Posted May 25, 2014 You are excused. I've had the drool cup on all day Good to know I'd do anything to own a Windproof set. Especially given this one has South Vietnamese Airborne patches on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrenchfootJoe66 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share #16 Posted May 26, 2014 Nice 1st pattern print. and thats is why going to shows is much better that on line shoping . o Yup. You should see the flight suits and party suits Im getting from the same guy. Really cool stuff. I doubt I sold even a 100 bucks worth of stuff but it doesn't matter a bit. It was good times, good folks and lots of treasure. The only bad part was that River Patrol split before I could buy that ARVN shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted May 26, 2014 Share #17 Posted May 26, 2014 what ARVN shirt ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrenchfootJoe66 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share #18 Posted May 26, 2014 He had a nice little ARVN cammo shirt, no patches but a good solid example. Plus a pretty nice tan ARVN beret. I couldn't swing all that until late in the day and I missed him. Damn shame, he had lots of good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Patrol Posted May 26, 2014 Share #21 Posted May 26, 2014 Yep......I had long ride back. It was a fun show.....got to see the Quartermaster Museum. The windproofs were soft as butter.....classic French Vietnamese tailoring.....I would have popped for it if it would have had a name. Glad you got it.

River Patrol Posted May 27, 2014 Share #24 Posted May 27, 2014 J, Oh you mean besides the horrors of mid-day D.C. traffic....yea, I got home safe. The Vietnam berets, headgear and uniforms will be up at my website soon- Blindbatmilitaria.com We are going ALL Vietnam - ALL the time now~! PLEASE look at the removed tape on the windproof set and let me know if it's a U.S. Army tape or a name tape? And if so, can you make out the name?

TrenchfootJoe66 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share #25 Posted May 27, 2014 Steve You poor bastard ! DC/NoVA traffic is about as much fun as being on the wrong end of an ARC LIGHT. Cool news re the website !! And I will check out that uniform properly when I get home tonight, I've been on a bit of vacation since the show ended on Saturday. I've got a big box of cool new treasure to dig thru and Ill post some better pics and reveal whatever little secrets it may hold. Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
