My experience with Western European products was nothing short of fantastic. Their website is relatively easy to use and offers several useful suggestions for reenactors on a budget. Since my Charlemagne '45 impression is going to be for airsoft only, I cut some corners and purchased Swedish ankle boots, post war German gaiters, and a full uniform of Swiss Alpenflage. I ordered last Saturday night and recieved the products Thursday when I got home from school, so the service is definitely speedy. The service doesn't end at a quick delivery, the packing was top notch considering all the items were issued (except the gaiters). The ankle boots, manufactured in 1967 according to the sole, were well cleaned and individually sealed in plastic bags and the uniforms were free of blemishes or damage.
Interestingly enough, the base colors of the Alpenflage differ in the uniform and the pants are a lighter shade, offering a better representation of German Leibermuster. It is worth noting however, the pants have cargo pockets and so without modification are a poor excuse for the M44 style. My hopes are high however and when I receive my M44 tunic I will post pictures of my full impression.
In conclusion to this rambling review, I fully reccomend Western European Product house as an excellent retailer for both field gear and inexpensive alternatives for more pricey German reproductions.

If you email Mike at Wephaus, make sure you tell him you are in the WW2AA and a friend of Capt. Zak's (Jeff). Mike is a good friend of mine and runs a great business.
