    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I wouldn't say that... As I said, WW2 Impressions's P-41 are widely believed to be the best out there and are praised by many, many reenactors. And they're "only" 120USD a piece: https://www.wwiiimpressions.com/collections/usmc-p41-hbt-fatigues/products/760 My ATF may not be the best there is...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    You're welcome! With the scorching heat we've been encountering for the last month and a half, they are really comfortable to wear. As I said, let's see how they'll hold up!

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    The perfect military trousers that looks like civilian ones, love 'em! As I said, you should have a look at WW2Impressions, they have a reputation for being the best there is.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    @Mich486 @dudewuttheheck Thanks folks! Those are ATF P41 trousers. They're out of stock and not planning to do more because of a new USMC policy... I suggest checking with WW2Impressions, they are not cheap, but are the best out there! One more pic of the ATF P41 trousers! (With a homemade...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Received my Colchester 1892 High Top sneakers today. Great summer shoes, classical but still not your usual Converse sneakers. They feel way more comfortable, mostly due to the built-in arch and cushioned insole. I don't know about their claim of being "the world's first sneakers", and to be...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    A couple pictures taken Saturday of my new Aero B-10. Strangely, the color in the pictures is brownish, while it's a dark olive in person. The temperature was around 20°C, so I just popped it for the pictures and quickly hang it back when we were done! :D

    My New SM Wholesale A-2

    @Big J , your last post is very true. You got the fit you received from the Quartermaster, and that's it. I think there's no point in stating that there was a "correct period fit", as we've all seen WW2 pictures with fit all over the range, from trim (even slim) to blousy or baggy. IMO, the...

    My New SM Wholesale A-2

    Well I think we all know the fit depends on the maker/contract anyway. I didn't interpret CBI's rant as one against the manufacturer's fit, but more against the fit people want out of their A-2 jacket. A lot of WW2 pictures show guys with jacket that'd be considered one size too big on this...

    My New SM Wholesale A-2

    Depends on the Eastman contracts. The Rough Wear 1401-P and 27752 and the Star Sportswear in size 44 have 46 inches chest. Similarly, those in size 46 have 48 inches chest. So if CBI is a 44 chest and wants these extra 4 inches, he would have had to go with a size 46 on these ELC contracts too.

    My Aero 42-18775-P // 2 years

    They did crease, but I don't think I lost anything in sleeve length, maybe half an inch, tops!

    My Aero 42-18775-P // 2 years

    Wasn't it Einstein who said something along "get one good leather jacket and you won't need anything else for years"? @torfjord , thinking about it, if those couple pictures make you decide to go the jerly way, I think it's one of the biggest compliment that could have been said, thanks!
