I got the stuff after a week of shipping!The only problem I have is that I ordered the gaitors a size too small.The mess kit is a 3 piece one (Bundeswehr?).The M44 is nice but need to add insignias.The M43 cap is good and comes with BeVo sewn on.The pants are a good fit!I will post pics of them soon here.

I've always sewn on insignias myself on tunics. Glad to hear that you are generally happy! I don't know how the gaitors are today, but the ones I had from Hiki a good two/three years ago were bad. Ordered a pair from Epic instead. How are the ones they have now?

Ordered a pair from Epic instead. How are the ones they have now? I managed to squeeze the gaitors on barely.Though the boots I'm wearing isn't WW2:DI guess they are alright.The stitching seems good and so is the canvas.I'm not an expert on leather but it seems a little flimsy but not too bad.Here are the photos.The breadbag is not from Hiki though.

Not bad!
Should doublecheck your focus as well. *cough*
The gaiters seem to have improved, especially the leather, but still not sturdy. It's a shame. I also think your right hand shoulder board is upside down.
Nice Kodak Brownie in the background! Do you use it or is it just for decoration?

Lol yea I forgot to focus it.The tunic might be slightly loose on me but I might machine wash it a bit to size it down.And yes that is a Brownie I have.I have used it a few times but havent' developed the film yet.Anyway I want to be careful in washing it.Don't want it TOO small. EDIT: I tried it on again and its a good fit so no need to alter it :)I do though need to buy me some insignias soon.

Don't mean to necropost, but I don't feel right making a new thread.
I'm not asking how long the transit time is once the item is shipped, but I ordered the Flak Helferin cap for my Wife and I placed the order on the 25th of Dec, and it still says "Processing & Shipping" and no tracking number? Is this normal for them to just have blank periods like this? Has it been shipped and will I get a tracking number once it reaches US borders.
Sorry, I'm just getting worried, because I thought I ordered it with enough buffer time get it in before our anniversary, in the middle of the month.

Yup, sure is! Its coming, or at least I hope so, haha. Nah, I have faith in Hiki, a lot of people here recommend it, but that doesn't stop me from worry when it says "Processing & Shipping" a week after I ordered it....

It actually came today. No tracking and no heads, but I'm not mad. It came here faster than I thought it wood.
