Hello everyone, I need your help!! My friend and I are looking to get some cheap WWII US web/field gear and I've found a seller who sells all that we need. He is on eBay and goes by the name youchunhe2008. I was just wondering if anyone has bought any of his gear before and I would like to know, overall, what they are like. Any home pictures of his gear would be nice too, besides just having his stock photos. Like I said, we are not looking for high quality reproductions. Just decent equipment that will do the job.
Thanks a lot, everyone!!!

good luck, remember, if you can keep from attaching and re attaching your gear the grommets won't pop out as much. their stuff takes around 3 weeks to a month to deliver. They also have a site that gives discounts on bulk orders: www.ahagreat.com/Supply-militaria-german_c5Good luck!

Once the gear is attatched, we plan on leaving it on, in hopes that the grommets don't all pop off. If they do happen to, will say (canteens, for example) still be able to hang on with out the grommets? And thanks a lot for the link!

yes, but if you leave the gear in, chances are they won't pop out.

Me and two of my friends bought most of our equipment from either Youchunhe or Shop2009mb, (including their jumpsuits) and they are decent quality, not as good as most others but they get the job done. They do hold up for a very long time too, I've had no problems with anything

Thanks for your input! Now, I can buy with confidence! (Once we get our P41 uniforms ordered first!)

I finally ordered and received my equipment from Youchunhe. I gotta say, I am really pleased with it. I know it may not be the highest quality, but I really love it!

Do not get anything made of leather from them. It was all dry and crap. I got Y straps that snapped my first time using them. Pretty disappointing

Yea depends on the item. Most of it is not as much a durability issue, its the issue of historical accuracy as far as patterns and materiel go. Of course some items aren't going to hold up well such as leather, like ob mentioned.

I have some carbine and five cell thompson pouches along with a mussette bag and suspenders enroute as well as some vietnam NVA booties which should be accurate since they are the real deal. The price and the free shipping he was offering was just too tempting. I expect they will be shipped on a "slow boat from china" and he warns accordingly but thats fine with me.

Leather items from these companies are definitley a waste of money.
I honestly like the US field gear I received from him. Even if it isn't the best money can buy, I really like it for what it is. I mean, I'm running around in the field with this stuff on and getting dirty and beat up. I don't want to waste a bunch of money on stuff like that.
Nice to hear their tunics are good! I got my SS tunic from Military Harbor, which I still love and is holding up after a serious beating. Still looks brand new.
I'm wondering what Youchunhe's M1 Helmet replica is like. I'd like to see if anyone else has one of these helmets.
