For Sale: 1945 Tanker Oversuit

[Tim Bell]

Also interested in some and I know last year for the Project 70 event there was huge demand and no supply... so suspect there will be others interested too.

Cheers

Can't 100% say from the pictures but the material looks like that used by Alder which has a strange turquosie hue to it and looks wrong when compared with originals.

Dusan,
My lads in my club have committed to about 15 suits, but several will need to be made to measure.

Can you get a copy of the measurement sheet he prefers we use?

I expect the common measuremnts, but most charts do not ask for the crotch to the neck. This is also called the torso height. This is critical to have for a one piece coverall, tank suit, boiler suit, flight suit garment.

Would it help to ship all suits to one USA address? If so, I can receive it and then take to the members of my club, or remail using cheaper domestic postage.

That would work for me and possibly Eric.

I mauntaun a UPS address in Ogdenburg, NY and can pick up any or all Ottawa based tank suit.

That will work for me and the other 2 guys in my neck of the woods.

Might check on the shipping though. Too big a package might actually cost more that a few smaller ones. Especially if it is 15 sets!

[Bob Carriere]

Probably will go for two myself.....

that measurement again.... <g>

My wife is a professional costumer for film, stage and TV. I asked her what that measurement was called and she said it is "Girth" (I always thought of that as "around" as in a waist, but will bow to her knowledge!)

She says to take the measurement, put the tape on the mans' front at the base of the throat. About where the knot of a tie would be. Run the tape down the front to the crotch, under neat, and then back up to the neck about where the base of the collar sits.
