Stylish in a forest commando sort of way, and secure, our N-B-C protective suit is from the UK military. Separate pants and hooded shirt are about a 40 regular, or men's medium, although the pants have a more generous, and expandable, waist. (The Brits say they're for folks 5'10".) Lotsa pockets, tabs, hook-and-loop fasteners, suspenders and zippers, and they're a solid forest green, not OD. Surplus (although unworn) and manufactured in 1992, so no nuclear, biological, or chemical guarantees, OK? On the other hand, where else can you buy a new suit at this price?

You can tell military budgets have been cut when Russia starts selling us her uniform buttons. Our bushels of buttons are 1/2" to 1", mostly metal (brass, copper, silver), mostly Russian (with some Canadian, French, and others), all interesting and collectable. The shiny brass buttons with the stars are nice, if you don't mind a hammer and sickle. We'll pick out (10) for you, but can't promise which ones.

Direct from your Uncle Sam, (2) each, olive drab wool/nylon military mittens with trigger fingers. Medium size and 12" long OA, but they're knitted mittens, so they fit the largest paws in our office. Don't have a trigger? That spare finger-cover is always handy for scratching your nose.

It's from Sweden, actually, but its multi-tasking screams Swiss Army to us. It's the garrison cap (envelope) style, winter version, approx 12" long x 5" tall, of olive drab wool with gray-brown faux fleece. Wear it as is, or fold the fleece down over your ears, and use or ignore the hidden button-up chin strap. Or pull out the little woolen ear flaps with their own fabric chin ties instead. Not alpine-looking enough? Reach up and pull out the little hidden visor. Available in Euro-sizes 56 and 57, approx U.S. hat sizes 7 and 7-1/8. (Note: This has the usual military-surplus aura that demands a few hours of freshening, maybe in the wind and sun, before wearing.)

But not our government, so it's OK. These fashion-forward boxer shorts are from the UK military, in green nylon mesh with an elastic waist and marked "Size 6/40" which we're figuring for a men's large. And they're all brand spanking (you should pardon the expression) new.

For running white glove tests. These are closer to a cream color, and are unused UK military surplus liner gloves for N-B-C suits, but they're nicely made, and would be quite useful as emergency opera-wear if you're in white tie but left your gloves in the Bentley. The man's Small are labeled 6 to 6-1/2, and are 8-1/2" long from fingertip to end of glove. The men's Lg are labeled 8 to 8-1/2, and will be either 9-1/2" or 13" long (our choice) from fingertip to end of glove. These are also very nice painters/craft gloves for folks allergic to latex. Package of (3) pairs.

Hope it rains? Good. Here's just what you need, from our friends in the Netherlands, where it rains all the time. In OD rubberized canvas, this cape measures 48" from the nape to the point in back, with a 4-button front and a collar with (2) buttons to adjust for larger-necked troopers. Hanging loop, no arm-slits. Perfect for forest vampires or duck hunters, but with a certain urban-hip chic that wouldn't be wasted on a struggling poet. One size fits most, the Dutch told us.
