Who makes the best pinks and greens?

[fishmeok]

I'm thinking it's about time to stop scouring e-bay and department stores looking for a near-enough pair of pinks and greens. I could have bought one replica pair of officers' trousers for the amount of money I've spent on various pants trying to get the next best thing for cheap. What's the consensus about which repro maker has the best value for the money? I'm talking fit, material, etc.
Cheers

But you'll pay for them.

WPG has a pretty good set that isn't near the cost. Never seen them but WPG has always done me right and their quality is good as far as I'm concerned.

Pinks and Greens at NCHS

I recently bought a pair of Pinks and Greens at National Capitol Historical Sales in Alexandria VA. He carries the Chocolate Officers dress shirts as well. I believe he said there all made in Thailand. However he does have a large quantity of original WWII uniforms for mucho dinero! Check out their website:

You might also check on eBay under member (nchs).

Interesting. I hope you don't have to kill me if you tell me this, but do you men wear any repro kit out there? I've heard of British officers buying old-style cold weather wool jackets (the sort of thing British officers wore when Britain dabbled in Iraq in the early 20th century). But what about your people?

All the best.

And...there's no blouse available. I can only imagine what an Eastman Class A 4-pocket would cost.
