hi Otto,

from my point of view and experience, HIKI is the best. I´ve got their WH panzer tunic. Friend of mine has their SS tunics (both panzer and assault gun). And the quality is really good for that price...

well from our experience - there was problem only in two cases. One with size and one with type of product. In both situations we contacted them and they sent us correct products according to the order. And they left us the wrong stuff as bonus :wink:

Due to no offers of Panzer W-SS Dot44 uniforms ( except of too expensive for me SMW set ) i decided do take a risk and order such a uniform from Gavinmilitaria. He has no dot44 panzer trousers in his offer but after a little chat i persuaded him to make some custom trousers for me and my group. Total cost is 125$ ( 70$ tunic and 55$ trousers ) + shipping.


I must admitt that im very suprosed by quality of his product. Fabric is well known hiki-made dot44 material, tailoring is just as it should be for W-SS version .


See for yourself. Its really great alternative to SMW product even though its not 100% linen.

I have to say Hiki os fine overall
I tend to guy only field gear froom them however I did get my tropical gear from them and it was good.
Hats are ok
I think you just have to be selective on what you get.
Its really hit and miss on some stuff though

5 days delivery to Australia was great
