How does one go into wearing a flecktarn parka?
I just got one and I expected it to be big but not xbox huge big. Im guessing that a black skinny jeans fits with it.
So what does /fa/ advise/
>>8347134
> meme jacket
>>8347139
wat
>>8347134
Like that, splashes of colour, bits of personalisation, black skinnies/skinny cargos, cool shoes
w2c liquid that will saturate colours like this?
>>8347254
Pretty sure thats just photo editing. However if you want a bright flecktarn I'd suggest getting a newer version, the vintage versions are a lot more mellow and worn (which I personally prefer).
Forgot to add something. When you got your parka did it smell like.....grandmas clothes? Mine had this weird grandmaish smell to it.
Besides that I got the smallest size and the zipper is about belly button size while the rest is buttons. Is this common with the flecktarn parkas.
FYI its still big for me.
>>8347171
welcome to /fa/, if a piece of clothing is owned by more than 2 people on this board, it's a meme.
thats a meme parka, just like the cheap monday ones.
geos, velcros af1s, roshes etc. are meme shoes
everyhting by uniqlo, raf, rick, cdg, etc. is a meme.
every denim brand is a meme.
you are a meme

by not doing it
>>8347381
I need geos! 61!
>>8347134
>that Flair! accessory
TF2 core as fuck
>>8347338
Similar size as you, interested in sizing if anyone has experience with these
>>8347312
dude it smells like victory! It's the smell of bullets and manly army men.
>>8347338
I ordered size 1 and Im 175 and the parka comes to 5-10 cm from my knees. Like I said its xbox huge for me.
>>8347312
> When you got your parka did it smell like.....grandmas clothes? Mine had this weird grandmaish smell to it.
Mine too. I guess it's because they're deadstock and they've been badly stored for ages in some small space. I threw some old clothes in a trash bag in a cupboard and forgot about them and they came out smelling like that two years later. It comes out if you wash them.
> the zipper is about belly button size while the rest is buttons. Is this common with the flecktarn parkas.
It's common with German milsurp in general. I wondered if maybe it's so soldiers can piss in the woods without unzipping it. Tactical pissing.
You shits stop buying them so I can start my militia.
:^)
tfw Russia has nice military clothes but I'd feel weird dressing like the people occupying Ukraine
>>8349442
Not to mention that camo like TTsKO is expensive, even though it feels cheaply-made.
I got the smallest size I could and it fits fine in the chest area, but it's hella long on me but I'm a shorty short. I'm guessing you'd need to be around 5'10+ to get a fit like in pic related. Just wear it as a long parka brah, usually does nicely with a pair of black skinnies. :o)
how would I go about copping one of these in the UK?
>>8349480
Try some on at Urban Outfitters to find your size (the German size on the label, not the S/M/L on the price tag), then buy much cheaper from eBay. You can also find ones with winter liners on eBay, which the UO ones don't have.
>>8349480
I bought one at a softairgun-store, so i'd say you should try googling or just look in stores that seems to have a vague military theme of some kind.
>>8349501
you mean they stock them at oxford circus? Cause there's no sign of them on their website
>>8349536
Can't remember if I ever saw them on the website but they definitely had them downstairs at the Oxford Circus in May. I bought mine there when I got caught in the rain.
>>8349554
ah alright cheers`
Guys. I'm interested in copping one of these.
Is this the one: http://www.amazon.com/Fashion-German-Military-Hooded-Flecktarn/dp/B00669R8MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402621930&sr=8-1&keywords=German+Army+Flecktarn+Parka
If it is, what size would a 5'9" manlet get? I'm thinking Small.
>>8347381
Roshes are so overplayed at this point that they are legitimately a meme
>>8349598
Yeah, you'll probably want to size down with these. I'm 5'10 and small was the best fit for me. Medium looked like a tent.
>>8349625
Maybe it's a UK thing but I still hardly see Roshes on the street. I don't want to stop wearing something I like just because it got popular anyway.
Most of these things become memes because they're legitimately good products but it's only some internet culture of a few thousand people that really give a shit.

>anon is that a german flag on your camouflage jacket?
>why are you wearing a german army jacket?
>are you a nazi?
>>8349666
>nono, it's from a long time after the nazis... germany has changed a lot
>removes totenkopf pin
>>8349630
I'm thinking of copping the small one too, there's no smaller size.
Anyone have the bundeswehr size chart?
>>8349799
try this
http://www.militarycollectibles4u.nl/a-17421948/uniformen-camo/bundeswehr-flecktarn-jas-origineel-nieuwe-maten/
Borstomtrek= chest size or whatever you call it
Lichaamslengte = body length
The chart counts for all Bundeswehr clothing
>>8347134
where did you guys cop your parkas and should they only be german or do other army's designs look good? I hear you can get them really fucking cheap if you go to the right place.
>>8347134
you know you could take it to a tailor...
>>8350783
not him, but do they also have to be army parkas? I've seen a parka from acne which was pretty cool, dunno how it compares to military stuff tho
>>8349799
here's the translated version knoch made
>>8349625
I live in Chicago and I see more dick ovens than roshes
>>8350836
>tfw I'm exactly 165
There is hope...
>>8347171
he's from /mu/
>>8350849
oh boy, aint you in for a treat then. I bought a parka and Im 175 and got size 1 (the shortest) the parka still was huge. If your 165 I can predict that the parka will be so big that it will cover your knees.
>>8351059
well you have to remember, the sizing list is made for it to fit a soldier with gear
not gay ass fagbois
so you have to adjust and if you're too short you're all out of luck
>>8351059
fug. would it be weird to tailor a parka? I don't think its something tailors would generally have much experience with, right?
>>8349625
My friend had a pair with airmax window in the heel. I liked them a lot.
>>8351234
Yes, its would be weird because that means you will be redesigning the whole parka.
Why? Because you would need to remove the lower pockets, the lower stretch thing( I dont know how its called but with those cords). While removing this you wont be able to reuse it unless you want to resize the upper pockets, remove and replace the middle stretch thing. etc. etc.
At this point it would be better to just ask someone to make a parka for you with the flecktarn pattern, or buy the flecktarn jacket but not the parka. Or option 3: grow

>>8351437
Just because you can't be /fa/ wearing flecktarn doesn't mean other people shouldn't.
>>8351442
Flecktarn isn't /fa/ it's for poorfags

MUH TRUST FUND
This board is utter fucking shite and I am unsure why I still come here. Bunch of spoilt brats.
There's plenty of nice cheap pieces around and plenty of shitty ones from high-end brands. Money isn't some instant pass to /fa/ness. Sure it helps.
I'm not a big fan of the sleeves on the flecktarn parkas. The arms are cut really wide for military functionality I guess, but the contrast with the tight velcro cuffs makes it weird to me. I'm going back to my old olive parka.

It's for them to be able to crouch easily as in fire a weapon.
Jesus how fucking feminine and oblivious can you get

In NY, you can't go on the street for five minutes without seeing at least 6 pairs of Roshes
