I've bought stuff from them. Its good quality however you'd do well to reinforce stitching on the buttons. Overall I was very please with the quality, price, and speed of shipping.

Bought a b-10 jacket and M42 jump jacket. Not too bad! I also purchased the older version Mackinaw, which did not fit too well.

B-10 and Jump Jacket were fine, the Mackinaw Jacket fit funny in the shoulder and arms. I would read the descriptions that show the actual measurements, so you get the proper fit in the arms, chest, shoulders, ect.

But that is one of their BETTER items! They do the nice early M38 smocks and a couple rare patterns that nobody else does. I was impressed.

Im not sure weather to order a size down or not, I usually wear a medium but there medium denisons have a 49" chest! the smalls mesurment listings seem to be more my size, but I have never worn a small anything in my life haha. Just dont want to have it get here and be to tight.
Do there mesurments run true to whats listed?

The buttons and shoulder boards it came with were crap,and were replaced with original buttons and better boards. Thier SS and Luftwaffe camo are nice,Heer/SS wool is pretty good,but their Luftwaffe wool is not so good.

Getting measured is not the problem, Im just curious to wether the measurments listed are what the actual item is.

I just got a Tan and Water winter Smock from them. Size Small. With a 36" chest I'm swimming in the thing. I actually took a tape measurer to it and it really is meant for a 44" chest. Not that I'm complaining much, winter things are meant to be bulky. Guess I'm just not built for reeinacting

My tunic is a Spearhead. Originally got a medium, but it was too large to be taken in (without MAJOR garment reconstruction) so I got a small and still had to take it in. Maybe he's catering to the reenactor market?
That said, I really like their wool, it's nice and soft. Some repro tunics I've seen have the texture of a scrubby pad.

Guess I'm just not built for reeinacting Remember these things were made to be big, they were supposed to fit over all of your combat gear. Originally Jump smocks were never intended to be a garment used in combat.
