It wouldn't surprise me if NATO is kept financially secure thanks only through the sale of second hand combat trousers to the archaeological world !Miles Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581296676233050831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120401471738916620.post-25812063273776206942013-11-05T09:02:42.144-08:002013-11-05T09:02:42.144-08:00Heh, this gave me a right giggle!

During the week, it's all boat shoes, tight red jeans, button-ups, and navy jackets with the lads and colorful leggins, skirts, and wooly jumpers for the girls. Stick them on the field, though, and they're just as combat-booted and army-surplus-trousered as the rest!

I know I am! <br /><br />As a fellow archaeofashionist I was always strived to fall into the rigid ethos of beard, unwashed sweaty garments, unkempt hair and over use of the words 'is that it!' every pay day. <br /><br />After all my brain is far to engaged in contexts and the historical relevance of things to be clogged up with the mundane notions of clothing and cleaning and food, and all that nonsense. <br /><br />Maybe with a touch of colour, some aviators, a Nike tick here a Nike tick there, maybe just maybe we will shake off our regular ribbing that our common ancestors are broke pirates or the French.<br /><br />What should an archaeologist do to keep up with fashion Miles??? I was thinking of having a hair cut, but thats just a dream....<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
