Any feedback on Mash Co. or M.O.C. Ltd.?

[Corey]

All --

I've been reading with interest the various threads debating the merits of companies offering WWII reproduction uniform items. I was wondering if anyone had any experience or feedback about a Japanese company called Mash Co.? I found their website the other day and it looks like they have a lot of neat stuff, particularly in something called the "M.O.C. Ltd." collection (see links below ... sorry, but the pages are in Japanese).

So, anyone ever deal with them? Good stuff? If so, how do you order it if you don't read/speak Japanese? Any ideas?

You can email the guy- I think his name's Yoshi- he can deal with English.
I picked up a few NOS WW2 zippers from him.
A couple of us have his excellent WW2 repro Khakis.
Good service!

Thanks!

Turns out my co-worker who sits behind me is fluent in Japanese ... he's kindly offered to walk my order through on my behalf.

I also found a U.S. website that sells at least some Mash stuff ... pickings are few and far between, but they actually had one of the items I wanted in my size! You can find it at:

Everything I've heard about them has been excellent-they used to do flight jackets and they were some of the best repros ever. Several of the jacket forum boys have ordered NOS WWII zips from Yoshi, again I hear his service is spot on.

I have several of Yoshi's products. They are stone cold cool. Yoshi is an excellent businessman, responds to queries promptly and politely. You will not be disappointed.
