You can now enlist for fashion savings
Hup,www.fairhomeinteriors.ca/archives/1959, two, three, four. The military look is back in fashion time to seek out those old army pants. My mother hated mine. She attempted to coerce my buddies to lose them.
The style mags seem like armyrecruitment manuals: think Michael Jackson meets Sergeant Pepper.
We checked out SaveMore Sport Store at 114 Queen St. E., selling "genuine army surplus from around the globe, police force and security gear, camping equipment, luggage and foam" since 1953. Who shops here? "Everyone," says Lauren Jacobs, the shop manager's daughter.
"Current military, exmilitary,www.newcastlesc.ca/?paged=3, army cadets, kids as well as their grandparents; fashion people. The style people are available in for Canada Goose parkas (which start at $420 and go to $900). You should have been here a couple of hours ago. It is minus 20 and people suddenly decide they need winter coats."
Pea coats are all the rage. SaveMore's navy issue are $99.99; trendy Royal Military College wool capes are $49.99. British,canada goose pas cher femme, Russian, Swiss and German winter flight crew jackets are stickered at $200. Armyissue silver dog tag for $6.99 at SaveMore. You choose.
Punkers have appropriated the bracelets of spent shell cartridges costing $24.98. For overkill, they could pair them with army belts of empty bullet cartridges going for $89.90. Army jacket ($19.99) and tart it up with patches and insignias priced from $2.99 to $49.99. Individual brass buttons go for 99 cents to $1.99; epaulettes, armbands and badges are $4.99 some and up.
"Your mother wears army boots" was once an insult. Now, army boots are hip. Used Canadian combat boots start at $40; used parade boots are $40, brand new ones $110. Army camouflage socks to put on in them are $8.99
Coco Chanel's iconic sailor striped Tshirt was inspired through the French navy. SaveMore's are from the Russian navy,canada goose oslo, 100 per cent cotton and only $15.99.
Herms showed aviator hats around the runway, an homage to Amelia Earhart. SaveMore has cool aviator helmets: $44.99 for cotton and $79.99 to $89.99 for leather.
Russian, German and Canadian military caps are $34.99; a Dr. Zhivago Russian fur hat having a Soviet pin costs only $36.99.
However the star attractions are the gilded vintage pieces like the French riding coat for $49.99; the Russian great coat for $139.99; along with a truly magnificent Russian threestar general hat, coat and pants ensemble for $499.99.
A black dress tunic with brass buttons and red trim readily available for $99.99 is a doppelganger for a Balmain and a $199.99 Russian pilot vest with multiple pockets could be a Vuitton.
