Frühling 1944. Sicherungs Bataillon 1008, Ostfront (Weißrussland).

Came across a set of Stolla Wien Austrian Y straps made in 63'. The three obvious diffrences are the padded shoulder straps,the 3 way conncetor for the straps rather than the wartime ring,and the extra loop above the D ring on the shoulder straps. So far,ive managed to remove the extra loop above b...

Took Gavin 3 months to send me the wrong uniform.

Great.

Thanks guys,

I needed a mantel with higher+tighter arm holes. I sell suits for a living and the Sturm option had the arm holes cut too deep/long on the body. Looked frumpy and didn't correlate with original examples I've handled.

I've been disappointed by the loose-fitting poorly tailored Sturm & Gavin offerings.

Does anybody own a Schuster.ru mantel? Or how I can go about ordering one to fit me? (165cm tall, 88cm chest)

Sorry all, been very busy and for the past 3 days I haven't had any power. Massive snowstorm smashed all infrastructure on Aquidneck Island. Was not fun. Heated myself with a fire and cooked food on my Esbit. When I clean up my home I'll get around to posting photos. But trust me, these trousers are...

Placed an order from Gavin months ago. Never arrived. Only after pestering the guy (which I hate to do) I was offered a refund. In the same email he said my package was "lost." This is only minutes after telling me in an earlier email I would receive it early next week. I work retail, in m...

Received Sumpfmuster padded winter trousers the other day.

All, I was due to have a Trikot Offiziersbluse ready in time for a big event in 4 days. However, I got boned hard due to circumstance and it won't be ready. That forces me to wear my original Nachrichten Oberleutnant bluse, much to my chagrin. Thing is, I only have Trikot/whipcord breeches. IMO this...

Has anybody heard from David recently?

He hasn't been responding to my emails and I need the tracking number to my package. I want to see if it ever made it to the US, and whether or not it was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy while being processed in NYC.
