Just found a 'Ski costume which was auctioned. Wondered if anyone knew aught about the red cross depicted here:

Medic trained I believe.

I have a question.. in the picture Ski has his sleeves rolled up. Now I don't know if any of you have tried to roll them up but unless you cut them off it an't happen. So would this have been a back up set of BDU's that were not worn?

Steve

You can roll them up if you do it right ( Or ask Fraz or Azriel to ).

Yes, But in the picture of him wearing it the "Roll" is to small to be the whole sleeve. that is what I was getting at.

I have to agree with Steve on this one..

Been there, done that.
Actually, it tends to happen more by accident with me.

Ain't all that hard.
The proper way is to use the width and rigidity of the shirt cuff. You tend to end up with a decent 3-finger width roll.

'Ski has a two-finger roll, possibly because it's tighter and shows off his manly muscles... which is what happens when you have a woman (Emma Porteus) as costume designer!!

2 fingers thats not regulation anywhere lol
yeah use the cuff and roll up on it
remember above the elbows

I'm gonna ignore all possible mis-interpretation of that line and instead just reiterate that the girlies probably like it.

Besides, have you seen the size of Trevor's hands?
He'd only need two fingers to get the right cuff-roll!!

lol never paid attention to the hands of those who dont last more than 30 mins in the film lol

Shake his hand - It'll make sense then!!

BTW, they also had one of Bill Paxton's Hudson BDUs (again, already sold) here:
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5467982

The trousers look a bit like flares!!

You guys are all talking about rolling your sleeves up- some of us say it is nearly impossible unless you cut the sleeves short... or have pre-teenager sized arms (which I certainly don't! ).


The auction with Bill Paxton's bdus clearly shows that the sleeves have been shortened.

My question to all those who claim it possible to roll the sleeves halfway up your biceps- are you talking about a standard set of military issue bdus, or an actual set of reproduction USCM bdus?

I've already done it with my MAA 3pat BDUs.
Rolled the sleeves without putting them on first to check the length

I have a set of 2PAT bdus myself.

There is no way on this planet that the cuff of my 2PATs will fit above my elbow; the circumference is just too small.

Kevin

i can do it with any shirt!!!
currently doing it with a british desrtt dpm shirt which is huge on me!!!
still get it perfect just my screaming eagle gets in the way

Obviously if your desert DPMs are too big on you the sleeve is going to be big enough to fit over your bicep when rolled up.

The point I'm making is that we are not talking about any shirt. I can roll the sleeves up on a set of US Marine Woodland bdus, DPM, or a Canadian Garrision jacket- I can't with my 2PAT bdus.

Yeah.. what Kevin said.

Okay.. Let's see some picture of your USCM BDU's rolled up like Ski (full sleeve) with a small tight roll high above the elbow.

Kev, your arms are MASSIVE, dude!!
I'm surprised you can even wear a t-shirt without splitting it!!

Pics will be sorted in a few days... very busy organising Claire's birthday atm.

dont have uscm bdu's atm am using british desert dpm combats
