Cheers Ben, I love OG, you may have seen this one on another forum, but now it's mine all mine

By the look of the photos i thought you had the "khaki" uniform.

Here's a couple of my canadian "solid colors" uniforms.

Is funny that not many people care for those uniforms and they are getting really hard to find, specially the tan ones...
i have 2 versions of the desert solid, not sure if the colors are different, or if it's just faded.

Desert, tan uniforms:

Hi drmatz.

No this one is khaki green, which is faded, plus my camera is crap which makes items look even more washed out

I would love some of the Desert /Tan versions to add to my small Canadian collection,and I can't understand their lack of interest,they are very functional pieces of kit!!!

Many thanks for showing your collection , which is very impressive indeed, I have a way to go I think.

Cheers

Gary

hi gary,

i dont know why people are not interested in older canadian stuff. As you pointed they are really functional and well made.
I actually wear the tan trousers on a regular basis and they are one of my favorite uniforms... (to wear obviously)

The OD stuff shows up here in new york every once in a while for a very decent price. i haven't checked the store that sells it in ages, but they used to carrie lots of them. The winter jacket in my opinion is the best military winter jacket i ever tried on, i use here in the cold months that last from november thru may ahahaha

Anyway let me know if you need help sorcing some stuff

cheers
danilo

PS - thanks for your kind words

hello there danilo, is there any way i can score a set of canadian tan lightweights, as well as the greens
i love the candian older sets, but the ebay sellers usually sells sets that look old and well used, i usally go for uniforms that are in good conditions

have you tried the iecs? any good?

Nice one Mate, great addition to your collection, a lot of the canadian kit has the D on the labels, it's just their disposal mark, but does not detract from how great this kit is

You know you might be onto something there Mate...here's another theory on the D thing

Don't let them yanks or brits get hold of it

I Must say that CIC officers are military they are members of the canadian forces. Not to mention they are commissioned officers. one of my officers at cadets served 2 tours of duty in afghanistan and was wounded so he switched to CIC. So please have some respect for them.
