Hawk Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I am considering getting one of those and was wondering what you guys would recommend, Cheers, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 They're nice and warm as you'd expect and don't look out of place in everyday wear There's much grinding of teeth regarding collars n cuffs though!!! The wartime issue jackets were tan with a mid OD elasticated woven cuff and collar but the cheaper end repro jackets are (still i think) pretty much all one shade of tan. Not completely wrong... but not completely right... if you get me!! But with most GI Issue clothing manufacturers, consistency was not a concern, they pretty much came out as fast and as cheaply as possible.

Hawk Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Cheers Bodge, I was thinking of this one from SOF http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/reenactors/select.asp then type code into search bar AG684 Cheers, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Get a decent ex Belgium Tank suit. I bought mine for fiteen euros some years back. Zips into two halfs so goes on like a coat, very warm, a great bit of kit for any open vehicle, the ankle pockets are so useful when driving.
