Corps uniforms?

Are there any IMPERIALS Corps uniforms around anymore?

For possible use ... in such things as:

. exhibitions
. wearing by alums at guard duty at funerals
. other?

Another suggestion if there are any uniforms around
to add it to the display at the NP Historical

Re: Corps uniforms?

I have a battle jacket from the 70's. The linning is shot. I wouldn't mind lending it to the Historical Society. There it would be united with my shako and tam.

Re: Corps uniforms?

I still think the Norwood battle jacket uniforms of the 60s-70s (beore the pajama top shirts) were one of the toughest looking out there.

Re: Corps uniforms?

yes ... most of us agree. We went through all of this in an earlier thread .... and there were only a few uniforms in the same class. Garfield Cadets, St. Kevins and Boston were among the top.

Re: Corps uniforms?

Donna: thanks for the idea. That might help with our possible improved corps exhibit there.

Will stay in touch.
