Spoke with Jerry this morning. New product coming out in the next couple of weeks. So if you want to be like Lee Marvin, keep an eye on What Price Glory

Drydock · March 22, 2018, 11:36:11 AM

Yeah! I want one!

Yep, that looks pretty good. Would work better around here that a great coat too.

Later

Just to show off my ignorance, is this a reproduction of an actual military coat, or just a movie prop?

Jake C · March 23, 2018, 08:48:27 AM

I need to get that coat once it comes out.

There were several patterns of mackinaw used by the US military from 1900-1950's. The one Lee Marvin is Westin I this movie is very reminiscent of those used prior to WW1 and during.

The nylon rope is pretty special too.

Niederlander · March 23, 2018, 02:57:22 PM

I'm sure it was an early "experimental" model rope.................

A brand new hemp rope looks a lot like that. USN still used a lot of them in my time,

I want one of his 1911/New Service revolver belt rigs. Actually multiple belts, pants and holsters.

So did the enemy really use chain shot to take down the rigging when you were in?

Don't forget all those cutlasses he had to polish for inspection.

Drydock · March 24, 2018, 03:43:13 AM

Ah well, wooden ships, Iron men.

One of the favorite sayings of our old Naval Weapons System instructor, Lieutenant Buss. (A fine Surface Warfare officer!)

Actually, if I recall correctly, it was a M1860 Sabre. Ask him about it sometime when you have time for the rest of the story.

That's a good one. Memories . . .

Baltimore Ed · March 26, 2018, 07:14:41 PM

I hear the harp music already.

Niederlander · March 30, 2018, 11:19:24 AM

Looks like these are on the website now. $165 plus shipping. They look nice.

38OVI · April 03, 2018, 04:23:38 PM

There are 16 available and the largest size listed is 44, when I just looked at the site.

S. Quentin Quale, Esq. · April 03, 2018, 10:05:20 PM

I wrote to them about larger sizes. They should be along in 7-10 days.
