Jesus fuck let that meme die, it makes us look like huge faggots. (more than we actually are)

Also, got in contact with Estonihat-bro, and a size 59 copy of the M-43 pattern is coming my way. I think that that's a good average size, and I'll try my hand at a non-camo/final version with some extra material that I already have, and post a pic or two when that's done.

The romy-fleck fabric is being printed in a few months (2-3) because I'm a little tight on cash, my grandmother's roof had a collapse from a large leak paired with some melting snow and heavy rain we've had. Sorry for the delay guys, but it'l happen eventually.

It's a German police dress shirt. I paid 25 dollars for the epaulets, tie, and shirt all together. The tag just says "GOLF" with the words 70% Baumwolle 30% Polyester under it. On the inside of the sleeve it has T43/ 44 001/88 printed. The insignia on the sleeve is a regular German police patch, a red shield with a white horse. If you want any closeups of any part of the shirt I'll be happy to provide.

Could you define what you mean by actual use?

>>
>>28416397

I was referring to use on the battlefield. They're probably fine for casual wear around town.

And yes, Polan is often considered the China of yurokekistan because of all the knock-offs and plain shitty products the make.
>>
>>28416462
All right then, Is there any company that makes a non shit M65 repro(even Alpha industries tries to pass off chinkshit as the genuine article now, I'm not paying 180 dollars for chinkshit) or am I gonna have to go surplus. If surplus, where can I buy from that won't sell me some made in China piece of shit?

To quote some guy who's review I read on them, I'm not paying made in America prices for a jacket that was made in China.

I guess textile manufacturer in the UK really is dead. Not to overshadow you spook, but the biggest cost I can actually do something about is the work cost, I'm somewhat inspired to start small and eventually make larger things. I had all the materials in front of me for the parkas for example, but not the skill to use them.

It could be. Unfortunately the most they ever label their apparel as is what country its from and what time of clothing it is. ie: Czech Parka is what this was labeled. The only one ive seen labeled more detailed is the Austrian M65 parkas they have. Sometimes they have the camo type too.

It's Czech. If it has zip closed pockets it's a cadet parka, if it's got buttons it's an M85.

>>28419387

That's what I call it. It doesn't have a name. It's sometimes called "MK.1/Type 1 Camouflage" or "Japanese Airborne Camouflage", although that is inaccurate since it wasn't restricted to airborne troops.

>tie drawstrings

Tie them around your ankles and double knot.

I'm assuming you have normal boots? The Swiss issued ankle-high boots with gaiters, not normal boots.

>Snaps on the calves

Slim down the trousers so that they aren't so baggy and won't snag on anything.

>Suspenders keep falling off

Tighten them
>>
>>28423697
these actually make sense, i'm still having trouble blousing them because the drawstring seems kind of short, but it kinda works.

That was me as well. The tunic is a definite move forward from the doomsday prepper look that for sure. Just feel like having it a size smaller would've pushed it that extra notch (towards urstcore for instance).

That said...

For only 18 quid beggars can't be choosers. Always loved the butt pockets on swedish gear. It might be interesting to scope out the green (moleskin?) version of the tunic as well.

I hope Urst doesn't wear the parka like some Alien extra (that's lunarcore for your information). In his latest pictures on his weblog he has been wearing a lot of military surplus and wore it in a similar fashion to a Kapital (clothing brand) look.
