Re: Finnish uniforms
Great!
So if everything goes well, in a few week it is very possible that we have no less than 3 sellers of finnish uniform: Hiki, Varustekela and Milform...

Re: Finnish uniforms
Hey, i just saw that Hiki is now selling a repro of the field cap... What do y ou think of it by the look of the pictures?
Re: Finnish uniforms
Field cap looks... weird Seems to have even higher profile than in Milform caps.
Cap badge looks fantastic though. So do side cap (besides the buttons).

Re: Finnish uniforms
Yes the profile seemed high to me too
I will wait for the availability of a better one on Varustekela.
But good to know that the side cap looks great! But this kind of side cap was far more common on officers than on soldiers, if i'm not mistaken?

Re: Finnish uniforms
True, though using privately purchased summer caps during leave or even in the field wasn't exactly rare, so go ahead if you want one as an alternative

Re: Finnish uniforms
And do you think there is still possibility of an agreement? I hope it is still going on...
By the way, anyone knows if Milform is still prepraring repros of the m36 uniform, somebody talked about that a few weeks ago?

Re: Finnish uniforms
Milform makes M36 jacket with 270e price... Quality is awesome but price isn't. Trousers are 70 euros.
Re: Finnish uniforms
Thank you for the info!
I saw nothing on their site, is this one still good? http://www.milform.fi/
I don't speak finnish so I may have missed something.
By the way do they do breeches, straight trousers, or both???

Re: Finnish uniforms
Both. Breeches and straight.
Their websites are very poor, the best way to know their stuff is either visit in Säkyläs' store / email / call to them directly.

Re: Finnish uniforms
Had a look their jacket/breeches and cap - all look great but I noted the same buttons that Hiki uses also turning up - are these the same (cap excluded)?
