Re: Class A Question



C'mon Bob, don't ridicule the man.  He asked a perfectly straightforward question about wearing of the Ike Jacket and Woolen ODs.  I'm like you regarding the suspenders as the only suspenders I remember seeing were those worn by BAR men and their assistants who needed the suspenders to help carry the magazines and maybe a couple of other uses.  I did have a pair issued to me to wear with a pair of rubberized fatique pants during the Spring of '52 but I soon got rid of those hot things.  They even had a button or two for each cuff to keep out the snow/ice.
 
But Dress ODs with suspenders, no way.

HAHAHAHA. A guy with suspenders would be laughed out of any barracks I was ever in. I think some Limeys wear them with their uniforms, though.

Hi,
 
    Thank you all for your comments.  I recently but a Ike jacket that fits great but it kept riding up over the belt when I wore it.  I even tried to pull the pants up a little higher and tighten the belt but that got to be a bit much.  Were suspenders ever used with the wool dress pants?  There are buttons inside the dress pants.
