jasonc Posted January 3, 2014 Share #151 Posted January 3, 2014 60 would be fine for a large K-pot. +1 on that. I wore a size 7 5/8 barracks cover and a size L helmet. A quick google search shows that a 7 5/8 is about a 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonc Posted January 3, 2014 Share #153 Posted January 3, 2014 Was it comfortable enough? Sure, given the weight, etc. Good enough to wear for a few hours at a stretch with no problem. I didn't need a shoehorn to fit it on my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaOscarAlphaUSMC Posted January 4, 2014 Share #156 Posted January 4, 2014 Wardog militaria has Kevlar helmets listed check them out. Nevermind they only ship to US addresses. Mack I Thought so, about a year earlier I was looking into ordering stuff online from an american surplus store, and it did say kevlar items can only be shipped inside the US... don't know exactly why. Anyway, I found kevlar helmets at a decent (sorta) price in a spanish store, but I'd have to double-check if it's legit, maybe you guys could help me, here it is... Daniel.

Another user was selling one in the forum, so I posted on his sell page but he didn't respond :/ Besides he's probably american and shipping is way to expensive. Anyway, nice looking loadouts!

Fender Rhodes Posted January 4, 2014 Share #170 Posted January 4, 2014 Here's my blouse, size medium-regular. It was issued to someone else before me, hence the need to alter the laundry marking. Here's a close up of the laundry marking and tag. The blouse has a 1984 manufacturing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fender Rhodes Posted January 4, 2014 Share #171 Posted January 4, 2014 Here's a close up of the club patch. Here's the trousers. Size small-regular. While I can still fit in my blouse, I can't fit in the trousers anymore. Normally we cut out the blousing tapes from the ankle cuffs. These have a 1990 manufacturer's date.

Fender Rhodes Posted January 4, 2014 Share #173 Posted January 4, 2014 Here's an interior and exterior shot of the kevlar helmet cover. Note the Eagle, Globe and Anchor stencil.
