John Kettler Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Remarkable doesn't come close. Thought this was a gag photo at first. Caption says otherwise. Photo is also an excellent visual reference for GI rifleman in heavy winter kit. During the Battle of the Bulge , allied soldiers decorated their helmets with lace curtains, after realizing it provided excellent camouflage in the snow.

Wicky Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Nothing remarkable - as it is used even today in a variety of applications... Dutch lace Kevlar weave Edited August 13, 2017 by Wicky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Wicky, No idea where you found that photo, but it left me gobsmacked, first, for the (not Belgian!) lace being on a motorcycle, second, for somehow being woven into/sandwiched between Kevlar™. Looks to be aftermarket rather than custom. Regards, John Kettler Edited August 16, 2017 by John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'd guess the lace is woven FROM Kevlar JK, it certainly looks like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
