just so you know, Green is the wrong color, BUT!! I took those same pouches, and hit em with Bleach, and they look AWESOME!! thats them! (in the picture) They are nice and loose once you work em in, (I also have the ones you mention mikkel, yes they are too tight) I think to get the best pouches out there, buy the sarco ones, and then bleach em. -Gordak

Gordak (and friend), Ben Bernard here. The two of you look fantastic! The both of you are 100% "on the money" with your WWII impressions. I, myself, being an EXTREME stickler for the details, give you two thumbs up! I just hope that more participants in the airsoft field pay more attention to details in their impressions, and stray away from the East German stuff. Keep up the good work men!

Me being not such an extreme stickler I still like to get it right where I can. I just ordered those 44 pouches in green aswell. What I am looking to do is bleach them out to a tan or natural color is that correct guys? It's a cheap fix to make it more accurate so thier is no excuse not to do it. Also would I only wear one side like you do Gordak or are two acceptable?

that picture is from 3 years ago! you should see me now I think I used a high power bleech in the bath tub, it had instructions on it. IT will hurt the leather a tincy bit, but some oil will restore them. wear rubber gloves, move the pouches around a bit, they change colour pretty fast as I recall. Your goal is natural or tannish, Basically, the dark green has got to go after they dry, take a 44 mag, insert it, and then twist it inside the cell to stretch it out, my set works great, no problem pulling the mags out. You can wear one or two, Ncos seem to wear one, and lower ranks wear two. -Gordak
