[quote:phocuss:MV8yMjg3NTU2XzM4OTM1NjA5X0E4RkU0REFE] [quote:RAG 31997898:MV8yMjg3NTU2XzM4OTM1Mzc3XzZDQzM0ODY=] Remember the leggings worn in boot. Lol. I agree with stenciled last name above left pocket and rate/rank on left shoulder ironed on. Bit of trivia that all squids will know. Why bell bottoms and not a straight leg? [/quote] I hated those leggings, so glad when boot camp was over! Why bell bottoms? Flotation device! [/quote]
Original Message
I bought a set of old-style bellbottom dungarees that I plan on using as a costume, and I just need to know how they were typically worn. Were they marked with name and rank? If so, was the crow iron-on, a sew-on patch, or just a spray-painted stencil? Was the belt the same web belt worn with the newer (early 2000s) utility uniform and coveralls? Thanks in advance.
