it can work, but military garments don't really lend themselves to fashion because they're built for layering and mobility

pic related for example, the parka doesn't have a particularly great silhouette even though it fits properly

>>9176659
omg w2c?

Never wear matching camouflage pants and top. It should always be one camp piece (fleck parka, but no fleck pants) or you will look like a soldier/maniac.

>>9176649
as long as you arent full military gear it's fine as an accent piece.

>>9176699
so many designers have made military inspired clothing and collections it's not even funny.

>>9176760
>military inspired

I was talking about milsurp itself, not clothing that looks like milsurp.

What do you guys think to digital camo?

>>9176649

the only milsurp item I have is a US cold weather parka from like the 90s in woodland camo. It's really nice and does a good job of insulating but I feel like if I wore it anywhere in public I'd look like the unibomber or a terrorist.

Keep in mind that:
>digital camo is pretty ugly
>you should never wear any garment from your own country's armed forces
>you should never match camouflage pants and tops
>you should avoid wearing more than one pattern at the time: go for a camo parka and plain tops/pants or for camo pants with a plain top, etc

>>9176649

Can someone post flecktarn parka inspo?
Really dig them but haven't come across much.

An olive m65 is the best fucking jacket you can buy. Not that warm, but tons of utility and you can wear it with fucking anything. You can even wear it with a suit and tie.

Just avoid camo.

>>9176649
no offense op but what you've posted look good


check out this dyed flectarn jacket

>>9176649
Milsurp as a fashion item can be done a couple ways. You can wear the pieces unmolested as a statement, or you can dust off those sewing skills and make/modify an interesting and unique garment. Milsurp boots are obviously great in some cases, like the classic McRae jungle boots or the old FFL jump boots.

Knoch would probably have some solid insight about milsurp fashion, but I haven't seen him post in a few days. Here's his tumblr, http://herrurst.tumblr.com/ , there are loads of examples.

>>9177276

Velvet black Dylon. After a long while of wear with it through rain, sweat ect, you will begin to see the pattern underneath. It's that simple. That guys jacket has seen a wash cycles to get it where it is.

>>9178187
*a few wash cycles.

Any way. Just dye it black with Dylon. It's better than Rit as it is more concentrated. Dylon has pretty potent dyes. Also, do not get that shit on your skin. hehe. It's worse than permanent ink, that way.

>>9177226
I'm thinking about copping this but the website is throwing me off rn. I'm very short at 5'2 and their sizing says to order a short if you're short, but their smallest inch size is a regular. Not sure which I should get.

If you want a fit that is not like garbage bag you should try French imperialist military garment such as M-64, F-1, and F-2 they are probably homosexual from having Focault in country for so long so they like tight fit.

I have the same jacket Joaquin is wearing in Inherent Vice. Pretty lightweight and was cheap.

>>9179496
Get a GR1 m8. The GR6 and GR1 fit the same on the chest (36inches) but the GR6 is longer. I'm 5'9" and the GR6 fits a little bit long on me.

Basically:
GR6 is 5'9"+
GR1 is 5'7"+

>>9179862
Noted, thanks mane

>>9179587
The (current) shorts are much worse IMO.
It's great on female soldiers but it makes the men look super gay.

Next time, you can buy your fatigues from Zadig&Voltaire, see if I care.

How does the German military sizing work? I'm looking at a Flecktarn on ASMC. I'm about 1,86 and about 60kg, which size should I get?

>>9179977

1/2/3/4/5 are the same height with the waist getting bigger at every iteration.
6/7/8/9/10/11 are for taller people, with the waist getting bigger at every iteration
I'd suggest 12, since you're pretty tall and thin.

Did someone say milsurp?

>>9180051
Your night desert kinda looks like PJs.
But you get extra points for your vegetato.
I need sauce for bottom right, and third from the left upper row.

>mfw the french woodland looks better than the US one

>>9180039
>size 12 since you're tall and thin
wtf? wouldn't 12 be for a fat and tall guy

>>9180104
No.
As I said, it works in increments once you're within a group.
1-5 are too small
6-11 are too small
12 to 16 are your size (height)
Within the 12-16 group, the thinnest is 12, the fattest is 16.

http://www.asmc.de/content/en/Groessentabelle.html

GEDDIT?

>>9180051

Yeah, the NDC was obviously washed several times before I got it. Also, I don't own any Vegetato, are you perhaps referring to the far upper-right uniform? That's actually Finnish M/05 and I love it dearly.

The very bottom-right (grey jacket) is a Russian Arktika Mabuta, created for Soviet VDV forces in case the Cold War escalated and moved to a European front, extremely hard to find despite it's overall simplicity, on the outside at least. The inside has an internal Makarov holster with several other pockets and the left sleeve has a special watch / compass holder that protects it from the cold.

The third from the left at the top is my Czech M85 parka, these guys are getting much harder to find nowadays but they used to be like $20 a pop. A lot of guys on /k/ equate it to being the "fedora of milsurp" but I see it as the quintessential piece of inexpensive winter gear, especially with that fake fur liner.

>>9180141

Meant to reply to.

>>9180068

Here's the F2 jacket, I love the cut and it's extremely comfortable, I get compliments all the time.

I am searching desperately for more casual lookin parka just like pic rel. Where I can cop men parka like this?

>>9180068
Upper one is a chezch winter coat.
Bottom right might be from the nva but i'm not sure.

>>9180051
Need a closeup on the maker in the BGS jacket. Val Mehler? Also shame about the "Ärmelbüro" on the arm. I was so happy to find one without a single thread loose in my size.

>>9180039
>>9180125

Cheers man, I'll try a 12 then.

>>9180051
>>9180141
>>9180155
Oh, but when I post "w2c" on /k/ milsurp threads everyone flips shit.

Also my Swedish parka is pretty decent here without the liner

>>9180164

Your best bet would be something like the US fishtail parkas, probably one of the most over-copied "military" inspired type of clothing next to the M65.

https://www.varusteleka.fi/fi/product/us-m51-fishtail-parka-vuorilla-repro/21824

Original ones are expensive and usually not in the best condition and reproduction ones don't come cheap either.

You can buy the fur-lined hoods separately.

>>9180180

Oh great, look who showed up.

>>9180193
Of course I did, just who the hell do you think I am?

best camos comin through

>>9180168

Correct! This one was such a crazy story, I got it from a hole-in-the-wall surplus store in Salem, MA for like $15, it had an ROTC patch that was poorly ironed on the front.

It looks like it was shredded and repaired with Strichtarn material (some with the bubbles some without) but whoever did it did a great job.

>>9180168
Well you have the advantage of being close to the source.

And a job....

>>9180208
>mfw

also finally got the hood for the bw splittertarn jacket

>>9180208

Fuck, you should post that shit in the milsurp threads, what I'd give for that Splinter.

Here's the inside with all the repairs.

>>9180212
Weiiiird. Does it still have the metal D-rings in the back? Mine were not removed, but rather never sewn into the thing, but the rings themselves were still in the jacket pockets.

>>9180224
Never understood why whoever did that didn't just get some more OD fabric

>>9180224
>einstrich/keinstrich

That's even weirder. A BGS jacket with NVA camo repairs. Wonder who did that.

I really want the paratrooper version of the Splitter jacket. I actually bid 800€ on the 3k auction a few weeks ago

>>9180224
>einstrich/keinstrich

I actually bid 800€ on that paratrooper version of the Splitter jacket a few weeks ago. The one that went for 3k

>>9180240
Yeah it's kinda unusual to use NVA camo in a BGS jacket.

>>9180231

It has the permanent ones, as well as the weird little "J" hooks on the sides.

So how'd you manage to come across your uniforms anyways? I take it you live in either GB or Germany, otherwise that'd be a pain in the ass to find over here.

Now, time for some Fleckerlteppich, the most effay camo of all.

>>9180155
Sorry about the Vegetato, the orang-y tint of the photos made it look like it.

I've got a few of these F2. They are comfy.
Pretty easy to find in Europe, too.

The M85 is quite tempting. Varusteleka has it. Why is it the Fedora of milsurp? The fake fur?

>>9180249
Germany actually and I go to a lot of auctions and flea markets. aaaand I buy lots of shit at wholesale prices in bulk. The J hooks are called "Koppelhaken"

the board seems to eat my posts for some reason

>>9180249
Aren't the "J" hooks the belt hooks for the old internal suspenders thingy? Or did they abolish that by the end of the war?

>>9180279

How good is that mess kit (german?) ?
I have a swedish and a french one, they're pretty satisfactory, but I hear the swiss are very good.

>>9180270
The thing about austrian pea camo is the fact that here it almost exclusively get's worn by right wingers who are too poor to get SS repros

Met a black dude in the S-bahn last week who was wearing a wehrmacht splittertarn jacket.

>>9180286
Indeed they are. You can still find them up to the late 60s in most uniforms and even civilian gear.

>>9180295
NVA issue. It's okay. BW>THW>NVA

>>9180272

You've got me, maybe it's just because of who buys them? How they're worn? It's all nonsense.

You won't regret it, especially if you get one in your size, it'll last longer than you will and keep your warm all winter, and when the weather warms up a little, just take the liner out.

>>9180279

Oh man, you should see that one guy on /k/ who has all those mint-condition East-German uniforms.

You should definitely swing by the milsurp threads sometime, I can think of a few guys (myself included) who'd gladly pay your price + international shipping just to get their hands on some nice gear right from the source.

>>9180308

>>9180279
s-strap heaven

post fit with all those straps like some final fantasy character

>>9180308
Did you get pics with him?

Also lel about the poorfags.

>then again I don't have enough to get my own APD camo right now

Also not sure if I should bother offering at the store trying to sell OG 107, M65 and M51 coats for $100 a piece and an Ike jacket for $100 because, I assume, it's WWII and has a 1st Cav Div patch. Though maybe I can get the Ike, the same guy's Korean jacket, this one OG 107 with some cool period patches and the Women's Corps M43 for $100.

>>9180352
Yeah, I've seen a few pants and jacket combos in shops here

>>9180363
How much does it run over there? Last set I saw was for the winter cut and the guy on eBay wanted like $500, iirc.

>>9180332

No, the guy who posts like the mile-long image with all the NVA stuff. This is one of this pictures, IIRC, Shit-Lips is a completely different beast.

>>9180338

Huh, I'll consider it then, links?

>>9180348

>>9180371
Oh yeah, him. Shit, that fucker makes me jelly.

Yeah, shitlips is pretty high level in terms of collecting.

>>9180371
herrurst@live.com

>>9180368
Depends on the size mostly. Can range from 100 to 400 € for complete sets

I got my brown TTsKO pants and jacket in size 44 for 60€ sadly without the jacket liner and collar

>>9180410

Neat, thanks.

OP here. It was me all along!

>>9180051
I found the parka on the second row fourth column, the night desert camo, for $9.99 at a Savers yesterday but it was too big for me ;_;

It was mint too.

>>9176760
>military inspired is not the same as actual military clothing

>>9181948

That's why you buy it anyways and sell it on eBay for $50 so you can buy more stuff.

Some of the tripfags on /k/ move through like $200 worth of surplus a month just from buying and selling.

>>9176896
w2c? I've been looking for this pattern forever

>>9182105

Can't believe this thread is still here.

Swedish M/90, you can buy "factory surplus" right here, just be sure to get your size right: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/swedish-m90-field-jacket-surplus/29840

Good luck finding any real ones or any of their derivatives without paying out the ass. It's almost as hard to come by as M/05.

>>9180410
I remember you used to suggest a couple pairs of surplus or replica boots that were available online, I think they were US style, but I don't remember.

Any chance you might remember what I am talking about?

>>9179925
most englishmen are actually germanic.

>>9178187
Where to buy In the U.S for cheap?

I've checked around everywhere online Don't want to import.

Also sizes? i Messared my chest and i'm 34 in and 5'10 so what size should i get?

>>9176649

>>9180371
Mommi pls

>>9176649
few rules
1. no patches or rank indicators other than a flag maybe
2. nothing currently used by your country, for example assuming your American your op image would be ok >>9176670 would not
3. only have 1 camo piece on at a time

this just keeps the stolen valor types away.

>>9184355

>>9176670 looks ugly as shit tho. Plus he's wearing the shittiest brand of milsurp copy ever.

>>9184084
Unless you are absolutely bent on surplus one Brandit does repros in different colors of the BW parka.
Or you could dye it with only little coloring if you want to keep the flecktarn pattern.

>>9184804
Brandit is overpriced.
Considering it's ripping off milsurp which is already dirt cheap, it's FUCKING overpriced.

>>9184841
True, but just saying there are options
The whole idea of making repros of something readily available surplus is so retarded because they can't match the quality or the price.

Some inspo for BGS/Austrian camo
