Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10237677, member: 10944"]I wear an Israeli army shirt all the time. I got it before the most current of the recurrent conflicts in the area. I love it as a shirt. I actually didn’t even know what language the text on it was in when I pulled it out of a closet at an estate sale. A couple times American Jewish folks have assumed I’m also Jewish when I wear it out. I’m missing a button or two as well. I was thinking of stripping all the olive green buttons and replacing them with a purplish maroon button. I think it would look cool. Not sure if that would be disrespectful to the uniform. I guess it’s mine to do with as I please at this point. Some part of me thinks the former owner might be glad someone liked a piece of his history and is giving it new life, maybe not though.

From boots, to short shorts, to trench coats, and everything in between. All belong to a guy named “Winner”. So it’s kind of odd when they have a name patch on them. You’d think the shirt with it was a prize. It took me a minute to realize what was going on. I’m guessing the short shorts were for when they had leave. If I had better thighs I’d rock them.[/QUOTE]
