The first pic of a Barry Lyndon is a great smock for the price, not bad a pattern. The last 3 pics are not worth buying IMO, they're splinter A. Spend a few more quid and get the Barry Lyndon.

Cheers

SASAK eh darren ?

Who is/was Tom Gulliver? Ive heard his name/smocks mentioned but ive no idea what folk are talking about.

Ive put an impression together (for dog walking), i got my jump trouser and bluse from Richard U (fantastic quality Bluse) but my smock is a barry lindon plain green early one, no cammo, no problem!
I dont wear jump boots, dice shakers instead! Oh and 43 cap! Right I'm of to Son, anyone coming?



Me dog walking

Paul you look better w/o beard

Although the FJ had on occasion display a goatee! For some reason the Sturm regiment were very prone!!

He guys,

Because we make museumquality products of any division it is possible that we help you?
Our products will get an 'battlelook' treatment before they will be sold. Not straight from the box
Our last order was to complete an display scale 1:1 Pak38 with three men of the waffen SS divsion Hohenstaufen.
This took place at the Liberty Park in Overloon the Netherlands.
Please feel free to take a look at www.n-i-s.nl

Tom has re-enacted FJ since the 70s I believe, when jumpsmocks were cut down Dutch overalls. He gets his own material printed and makes the smocks himself, they're one-offs and very hard to come by and expensive when you do.

Thanks, now I understand!

Ive heard people tsalk about them as the last word in detail etc! But I did'nt know (to shy to ask) what was meant! Thanks again!

Darrens correct with the above statment, Tom had bolts of cloth printed many years ago and it is perfect. But unfortunately Tom refuses to make any more smocks?, even if you wave cash under his nose! so the cloth just sits there in his house gathering dust

I didn't realise he still had the cloth!

Yes he's still got it, apparently he has enough left to make about 18 smocks and then god knows how many helmet covers etc from the scraps. The last time he made something that I know of was a step in splinter smock for Bob Sellars (which i think went to a guy in your group ) and Bob had to nag him for months and months to get it done.

hmmmmm correct bandos !!

Is it me or does the ATF bonesack look too brown to you?
(see below
Regards P.

the lighting looks pants tbh.

and according to soldat vol 8 , there are 3 FJ smocks on there which have a brown backing.

looking for a decent type 2 atm

Don Calder makes a really good bando, He goes my FJfabik or something close on ebay. I have one of his early type one blues with the slanted pockets. I love it and holds ammo snugly. Unlike the cheap China made ones.


Im on the far end next to the guy in the T/W smock.
