Exactly, I've never seen an original in HBT even the very rare 1st pattern sumph smocks were in smooth cotton.

Still that sort of thing won't bother many people. Groups with an unrealistic mix of camouflage - 1st pattern sumph smocks, splinter smocks, splinter A tailored items trying to portray a late war unit, it just shows a lack of any research into the subject. As highlighted in one of my previous posts that’s not how armies issue stuff.

All that needs to be done is a bit of co-ordination within a group, approach panther store and do a order for the group. Then it all looks issued at the same time and you even get a discount, I think we got ours for about £70 a smock - good value for money considering the quality and attention to detail blows most other stuff out the water.
