Re: GJ rucksacks

WHEN, oh When, will they make a reproduction M-31 rucksack?
Every original I have seen for sale has been ripped/torn or extremely worn.
My 15 Jagers in mein Eineheit need them!

Re: How to shrink wool - or not?

If the uniform is a...

WHO MAKES A GOOD REPRO WINDJACKE?
Now that Lost Battalions is truly "lost".. out of business, who else makes a good Windjacke?

I like the flexibility of an open coat when things (the chest) get warm!

He has made me two caps, one I let one of my Jagers buy from me... here is a photo of us wearing them after a hard days battle! look at the photos from Camp Roberts ...
