Historic Hillwalking

[Alexi]

I had been saving up for a pair last spring, but ended up blowing the money on bike parts...
[huh]
but if the wait has gone down...

 

[NY_Confidential]

for some reason when I saw this thread, I thought it said "Historic Jay-walking"

and I said to myself.. WHAT??

Thanks, Mose.

We've just moved house and I unearthed another box of Rucksacks.
I think I have more than 20 vintage examples now, including some from the
'30s, WW2 era and earlier German and a good few from the '40s and '50s.
I also have a Swedish Army one, dated 1913.
Plenty of Rucksacks for this lifetime- don't think I'll buy more...

I'll re-edit,- post,-thread it there. I have another Denig catalog, from 29/30, on the way

Brrr, moving house. Do you have more room for your Musee en Closet there?

 

[BellyTank]

Hello- yes, much more room, it's a 5 rm apartment
with lashings of cubbage- not so many boxes in the cellar now.

Looking forward to the next catalogue installment...

BT - good luck with the move - I'm sure your collection will expand to fill the space.

Tip o' the fedora, Mr. Mose...

Love the catalog...amazing how stylish one could be for a tramp in the woods...once again, reminds me I was born in the wrong era...(whistles wistfullyy...)...

 

[Mysterious Mose]

Thank you gents,

I've moved the pics. and added some more. The 1929 catalog should be here next week. I'll keep you posted.

M.M.

 

[BellyTank]

Ooops-

I didn't mean you should take the pics away...

They're still around, in the winterwear thread, and I've added some. The other thread had more catalog scans so they seemed more in place there. You'll find 'em.

Even with 5 rooms and lashings of cubbage will there be enough space left for your wife and daughter and their stuff when you get all your boxes up?

You could hang all your vintage rucksacks on one of the walls and use them for additional storage...

Anyway congratulations with the new appartment.

 

[BellyTank]

Thanks, Speedster.
They have room enough, don't worry.

We have a large, separate room, with its own entrance and bathroom,
which we have rented out. Now that room could give me some extra space...

Having just watched Ray Mears in Arctic Canada, I'd really like to get hold of a Caribou anorak and boots. Any clues?

From Carl Denig's summer 1950 catalog:

And from 1952, some hobnail patterns, from light to heavy:

Thanks for this. The item this lady is wearing is almost identical to the 10GBP cadet smock and assorted 1950s civilian anoraks that were discussed in the 'Anorak' thread.

Basically, she has my look. I'm not sure what to read into that...

From Carl Denig's summer 1950 catalog:

 

[Mysterious Mose]

It's called the "Alpine Anorak" in the catalog. How about that?
The *****et with the riding crop has mine.

 

[H.Johnson]

Yes, what is she grinning about, I wonder?
