Tailored RAF Underpants for a wedding

[Spit161]

Why does this seem like a loose copy of the earlier thread, "Tailored RAF shirts for a wedding"?
Are you off to the same wedding or something?;)

Anyhow, you'll probably get the answers in the other thread.

[EOSM37]

Gentlemen,

I'm looking for nicely tailored RAF blue underpants to wear with No 1 dress instead of the cheap and nasty issued ones.

The army seem to go in for this sort of thing while we put up with underpants made by the very cheapest bidder...

Does anyone know a good tailor?

thanks,

EOSM37

Thing uth a thong..?

[TorqueOfTheDevil]

Thing, thing, or show uth your wing

Don't think that was about wedding rings though:oh:

[goudie]

RAF shreddies were in a class of ther own. M&S J Lewis et al have never come close to emulating this classic item (for the use of) underwear

[Whopity]

or drawers (olive drab) for those tactical occasions!

[Shack37]

Class indeed and versatile. Apart from their primary use could be worn as head sun protection and when necessary as filters.

[Siggie]

These gentlemen may be able to assist.

RAF shreds are specially tailored... They allow more room for the larger gonads than you're average grunt, fish head or bootie possess... and you should see the enormous size of the "pouch" on a Rockape's shreds... :E

[jamesdevice]

will these do you sir?

The 'tactical' ones the Army issued were called 'Fogups' = Filthy Olive Green Underpants!

Ah, so that's why they're always talking bollox. Never knew that. Thanks!

Winter wedding?

Long Johns will fit the bill.

Oh FFS... Show her you're a real man. Go commando. :hmm:

How appropriate to have 'per Ardua ad Astra' on the waistband.....

"You'll indeed be seeing stars after my 'hardness', my sweet!"

Not sure about the rolled up pair of aircrew socks maety-boy has stuffed down the front though....:ooh:

[Wensleydale]

Not had the lecture on how to give briefs?

[Wrathmonk]

Just in case you wish the matching socks, hankie, braces and cufflinks (not forgetting your waistcoat and bow tie for the evening do) then here (http://www.regimentalshop.com/index.html) is your answer.

Lots of stuff for the FAA as well ....

[orgASMic]

I thought that RAF briefs were supposed to be in four colours. Standards!

I found an excellent purveyor of specialist clothing whilst working in Amsterdam a few years ago:

They'll sort you out.

Should this thread be made a 'sticky'?

[Pontius Navigator]

BEagle, very GAY.

[Pontius Navigator]

HB, at those prices I hope they come complete.



on second thoughts maybe not. Mrs PN would not be amused.

[BEagle]

BEagle, very GAY.

Yes, you can bet that the male model in that photo barbecues with gas!

One always thought the RAF ones were Y Fronts, whilst the Royal Navy's were Y Fronts and Y Backs, and the Army has the words front and rear sown onto them. :E

This what you are after??????? :p

....and the underwear for female members of the Service are obtained from a well-known civilian supplier.

They cannot be donned back-to front because they are stamped C and A......

[Pontius Navigator]

Loose Nuts, which one do you favour :E

then

the Army has the words front and rear sown onto them.

Surely only REMF. The teeth will surely have to make do with words front and rear written on :}

NutLoose, that looks rather a 31 :ooh: Sqn thing....thong?

(And before anyone asks, I just Googled 'leather biker chaps'....:\)

Should this thread be made a 'sticky'?


I imagine the skidmarks will keep it nicely in place...:\

[taxydual]

Does anyone recall the QR that required 'Flight Commanders to inspect the underwear of trainees, under 18, on a weekly basis' (or words to that effect)?

We have some fun posting dummy SRO's to new WRAF Officers and new LACs posted to Leeming in the early '80's.

Alas, the 'fun police' spoiled the joke after a 1 v1 took it seriously.

[high spirits]

BEagle,
Favourite website of the truckie fraternity? For all those nights out down route....

[BEagle]

No idea, you'd have to ask a truckie. But I gather that they don't spend much time Internetting when down route.

Perhaps some ex-31 :ooh: Jag mate could assist you with your enquiries?

[Lightning Mate]

Perhaps some ex-31 http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/icon25.gif Jag mate could assist you with your enquiries?

BEags,

As an ex-Ein und Dreizig Staffel Mag Jate, may I be of assistance? :E

Actually the RAF Collection is way out in front of everyone else times wise.......

They are hosting the films of

The BBMF display @ Biggin Hill in 2097
The RAF Chinook display team @ Waddington 2096
The Typhoon at Waddington 2096
and various others at Biggin in 2097

see

Welcome to RAF Collection (http://www.rafcollection.com/ecart/control/videos)#

Good to see we are getting our monies worth from the Chinook, so just before the 115 anniversary of the RAF chinooks entry into service, do you think by then they will have managed to arrange a proper anniversary hangar party where all involved were invited, alas I doubt I will be still here, but if I arrange for my ashes to be placed in a RAF Collection holdall, will someone take me along to it?

BBMF ain't doing to bad either at about 150 odd years service :p

[high spirits]

Prefer Susannah York in BofB Officers Mess number 16 rig though....

[teeteringhead]

Careful high spirits, you'll raise BEag's blood pressure quicker than ........... a gas bbq!! ;)

[The Oberon]

EOSM37.

If rumours are to be believed, you will be able to select something suitable this coming Friday.

The House of Fraser store in Lincoln is launching a new range of mens underwear and 6 "poseurs" from Cranditz will be present to model said items, surely not part of an E & E exercise ??

[ex-fast-jets]

Susannah York in the BofB film.................................

Now that is something to stir the memory!!!

If she was wearing issue RAF undies, then at least the procurement system gets things right occasionally!!

Noooo, cannot possibly be a 31 squadron item of clothing, although the line "putting an end to panty-lines" suggest it is, the cut is far to generous for a member of 31 Sqn..... pun intended. :E

[ShyTorque]

During one's RAF time one always used the same high class tailor for one's under garments.

Matthew Alan.

Big stores in every town and retail park now, but these days one has noticed that he uses the shortened form of his Christian name..... ;)
