Right that´s the point :wink: ! This is what I wanted to hear, so I totally agree, just like I have wrote in my first post. But I think it is imortant to let the people know that the Spearhead smock is not bad but it does not reach the authenticity of the high-end products such as G-Max or Zeug. I a...

But why the heck is there then so much hype about this "Spearhead" jump smock

Pietje, Here are the outside photos I promised Regular http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/jagerroll/FJ%20smocks/100_2619a.jpg Vintaged http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/jagerroll/FJ%20smocks/100_2616.jpg I´m sorry Jaeger, I have to repeat my former statement ! The Berry Lyndon (Spearhead...

Wow that's outfuckingstanding! That´s far far away from this cheap-looking new reenctment Softair shite! I thought that seriously ww2 living history is slowly dieing, but you guys have convinced me of the contrary, thank you! Your HBT work suits looks perfectly, from where did you get this stuff? Li...

Comparsion war time boots vs reproduction by Sturm or ? ATF ? and of course offered by all other vendors


mmmhhh ..... this originals looks like the actual Zeugmeisterei boots...

Splitter pattern was not always green, that is true, but in the last two decades I only have seen FD jackets with a green base color (live and in all books). The base color is not the biggest problem, the fundamental problem is the camouflage of this Berry Lyndon FD jacket, it is 50% pure fantasy, p...

Looks great on the first view, far better than the splinter A (HORROR) smock from Sturm. But on closer viewing.... the camouflage pattern is only 50% accurate and the rest of the camo pattern is a imaginative design. Compare the Barry Lyndon splinter B with original FD jackets or jump smock´s and yo...

The "Leiber" pattern has really exist, also winter jackets and trousers exists. How Sheik allready said, winter clothing was often not longer reversible at the end of the war (exceptions prove the rule). But the worst crime , is the copy of the camouflage pattern ! At the first view, it lo...

I've had that Sumpf smock, it was also wrong because the material was too thick and felt (and looked) a bit synthetic.

compare the Barry Lyndon splinter B with pictures of original FD jackets or jump smock´s and you´ll surly find the errors.

People with fantasy uniforms (especially fantasy camo like 4 colors pea dot pattern) who transforming a reputable hobby into a karnevall event. Air mattresses, camping chairs and hippie hair cuts are also a no go ! People who have their knowledge only from the studying of books or images (never had ...

Schuetze Arsch> Are you basing your writings on experience or by "reenactors expertise" collected on internet pages? Please re-read what I wrote. Mikkel, I have my personal experience with the Sturm-boots. I started with the collecting of WW2 militaria a long time before any WW2 internet-...

Sorry, it has nothing to do with the care of the boots, sounds like the chinese manufacturer has no idea how to make proper German marching boots! The "Sturm" boots are not really well done, the soles are only glued (not sewed) and the leather is also more a leatherette stuff. The "St...

So, who makes the best Splinter B Bandoleers? The Sturm ones I can get wholesale are too short and too small for the 8x57s, and the camo is wrong. I emailed Spearhead, was told the next run will be made longer for Westerners. Nobody's Splinter B is perfect. So, what options do you Europeans have? L...

But I don't think this tread was about which reproduction that was the best. it would also be a lot more fair to compare the repro to originals, instead of the typical comparison of reproduction to other reproductions :) What is the point here, opinions on the At-the front peas jacket, rigth ? I th...
