Best Tunic on the mart.. on a budget..
Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to German stuff,
what happens to be the best tunics on the market on a budget.. I'm looking into Epic Militaria Sturm M40/M43s and Gavin M40/42/43s...
I'm a bit wary of Gavin... very far over seas and don't want to loose the tunic if I were to buy one!
Sturm ones look a bit iffy on the cut but are inshore from Epic... I have no idea!!
Help me,
cheers

Re: Best Tunic on the mart.. on a budget..
Ok, I know everyone thinks badly of Chinese made stuff, but Aviator2046 on eBay has some well made stuff...actually the officer's tunic I got from him is the best I've seen (honestly! He paid attention to all the details with the marks, cut and the wool is thick and good quality) might be I just get lucky, but so far I have always been happy with his Tunics. Pants are good, but I prefer other sellers.
But if you want a top quality tunic, custom made to your fit, go to Schuster militaria and you'll get a way better tunic than Sturm for the same price with excellent service.

Re: Best Tunic on the mart.. on a budget..
...I did, still got no jacket or trousers from him... and that was a fair few months ago.. he has the trousers which i don't doubt him on, seeing as i've payed for the trousers, but he promised a tunic which i would pay for when he got one in, and i still haven't heard anything from him.. :/ i understand he has a life outside of reenactment, and has a family etc, but kind of takes the water works when he doesn't reply to messages, nothing against him at all, just wish i could get the uniformJohn Wilson wrote:seconded.SplinterB wrote:Try dog green 1 on this forum

Quite long. If I remember correctly it's about 3-4 weeks to Denmark from China.

Re: Best Tunic on the mart.. on a budget..
My stuff from spearhead took about a week to arrive, the wool stuff I'm not fond of but gabardine items are good, the breeches are the best I ever bought and fit me perfectly (I'm one of thos tall skiny guys who has a hard to find something a small waistband) it really depends...sometimes you get lucky with China and sometimes not.
But Schuster...you always get lucky!

Re: Best Tunic on the mart.. on a budget..
With Schuster.ru, how do you order? I've tried in the past but have received no response. I wanted the German swim shorts for my "artilleryman in bootyshorts and a Stahlhelm" impression. Also, mittens.Oberleutnant Ulrich wrote:My stuff from spearhead took about a week to arrive, the wool stuff I'm not fond of but gabardine items are good, the breeches are the best I ever bought and fit me perfectly (I'm one of thos tall skiny guys who has a hard to find something a small waistband) it really depends...sometimes you get lucky with China and sometimes not.
