What kind of camo does /fa/ wear?
Recently got this genuine British paratrooper smock from the 1960s. $300 but it's made so well, unlike the modern mass-produced Asian "designer" brands.
>$300 for milsurp
these in rotation depending on weather
BGS Sumpftarn
Telo Mimetico
BW Splitterttarn

nice smock! the crotch flap always put me off though so I never got one myself.
Does it fit?
>>9188723
We're talking rare, mint conditon paratrooper uniforms that were made in small numbers almost 50 years ago.
Not the cheap woodlands that you can get for pennies at the local hipster hang-outs.
>>9188723
The most I've spent on vintage shit was 800€ on a pair of ankle boots that I have since sold for double that.
>>9188737
I'm really not into buying things like this online.
>>9188728
>BW Splitterttarn
Very nice. And you the blue variant as well. Recently saw an FJ paratrooper smock in Splittertarn go for like $3.5k on the German eBay.
Saves some pictures. This thing is amazing.

>>9188743
so you buy them at milsurp stores?
>>9188748
*backed out at
>>9188743
do you get them tailored? how do they fit you so nicely, being so skinny?
>>9188748
>Is a different version of it.
What? That looks like a Spanish camo..
>>9188751
Nope, never set a foot in them. Try gunshows and things like that. Militaria Messe Kassel for example
>>9188764
i live in canada - i wish we had gunshows.
>>9188754
It's a leibermuster hybrid. There's lots of crazy shit the bundeswehr tried out. Pic related is the more common one.
>>9188753
I buy only what fits me, I rarely tailor anything milsurp to fit me.
>>9188773
No love for the British Denisons?
>>9188714
Color me jelly
>>9188772
But we do...
You just haven't bothered venturing out of the hipster-douchebag rotten cities.
Be warned however, no Starbucks out there.
>>9188782
I like the camo and general shape, but the 6 button crotchflap isn't my thing.
I have tiger stripe light field jacket, it's repro though
Just found my dad has jacket with some Finnish army camo that's no long in use and the jacket is really old, mite have to borrow it

True, that beavertail would probably get me some weird looks.
I love the French paratrooper smocks of the 50s and 60s as well.
Different trials of the BW
>>9188802
>french smocks
I got one of those olive mountain troop smocks. Lovely stuff.
cop?
>>9188813
Not bad, but I think the TAP 47 series smocks look SHARP, especially in lizard camouflage.
>>9188818
At the prices they currently are, everyone should have one.
>>9188818
They're okay.The built in face veil is fun.
>>9188820
One thing I really don't like is 3 button rows on pockets. I have no idea why.
>>9188714
Breddy noice OP.
My Denison family. Well, part of it.
>>9188829
Whoa, did you get those fluroscent spliter trousers?
>>9188845
Nah, I don't think I want any trousers in that pattern. I'd rather get some in the BGS Sumpftarn to complete that uniform.
Only wearing the basic flecktarn parka atm
But I'm wondering are there any warm milsurp coats/jackets/parkas etc that are easy to find and relatively cheap? (don't want to pay much for something I can't even see IRL)
Need some new winter outerwear, around -10 C is the usual winter weather where I live.
I really like the late soviet butan camo, they got it in several color variations for different types of troops.
>>9188825
big improvement
>>9188874
great hues, I still got some flora camo somewhere but've never worn it
>>9188881
if I cant see them, they cant see me
Any thoughts on this?
It's 10€.
Front the front it's not very attractive.
>>9188924
The back looks ok
>>9188893
Why are you never rocked the Austrian pea dot camo? It's really awesome.
>>9188930
Fabric looks decent.
Cheap as fuck.
Anyone has it?
>>9188924
Got any pics open?
Seems pretty inoffensive and simple, though if it's surplus the sizing might be tricky if you want it to suit you well.
>>9188931
Fuck off deux
>>9188939
I'm 1.7m, 57kg, but with large-ish shoulders (considering my size).
I'm thinking French Army Sizing would be 88 ( like an S).
At any rate, I can always go to the store and try it on before I buy it.
>>9188893
thats why i go out with paper bags on my head 25/7
>>9188939
Sorry these are store pic. No "open" pic.
shall i buy a strichtarn mag pouch /fa/ ?
I'd use it to organize some of my backpack's content (pens, medikit, etc)
>>9188988
Yes, I know what "imperméable" means ^^
>>9189016
Love mine, but the cells might be a little deep for smaller items. Maybe try an E. German grenade pouch instead.
>>9189026
Just checking. : )
Italian army has loads of inoffensive trench and greatcoats too. Especially nice ones that don't have ugly ass belts.
>>9189016

>>9189037
They have dividers inside which you would have to remove and are relatively big. Picture in next post.
>>9188988
what kind of jungle boots do you wear? are they repros?
>>9189016
Get a map bag instead or if you really want einstrich/keinstrich go with the gasmask bag. Though that's even bigger.
>>9189049
>they have dividers inside which you would have to remove and are relatively big
Talking about the mag pouches or grenade ones ?
>>9189058
My previous post (>>9189062) makes no sense as you just answered before.
Thanks for the info anyway.
I probably won't go for the map bag as my shit is pretty big.
>pic related, the stuff in ziplocks mostly
>>9189071
I think you'd fare well with some of the UTV strichtarn pouches. Maybe look into those.
>>9189053
Nah, they're vintage. Bought them mint and broke them in.
>>9188868
Swedish OD parka is pretty good, has a button in liner, usually goes for about $20. I found mine at a near-ish surplus store.
>>9189049
Nice coat, where can I get one like that?
>>9188874
Slav camo, best camo.
Some of these won't appeal to you /fa/ggots because they're not as neatly tailored, but the Russians have some really cool patterns, like SMK.
>>9189190
baggy>tailored
>>9189197
Got any Russian/Soviet uniforms?
>>9189208
Some flora, ukrainian ttsko, watnik jacket and pants, bits and pieces probably some things I forgot
>>9189214
The best thing about Russian gear is you can assemble it from any period and any combination, their dress codes are pretty slack.
>>9189244
consider those dubs checked. Any love for the American Jungle fatigues?
>>9189244
He has your facial aesthetics.
>>9189099
wow thanks a lot m8y =))
will probably get it if I don't find something even better
>>9188714
>tfw no soldier 2k
>>9188818

>>9189083
colour me jealous. where'd you manage to find them and how do they size?
>hasnt been in army
>wears camo
for what purpose
>>9189475
Yeah, I'd be interested to see how they incorporate it into their clothes.
>>9188743
would you mind posting a photograph of said ankle boots?
>>9188743
that really you?
>>9189715
camouflage prints have been a mainstay of streetwear for many many years, military cuts have been big in contemporary menswear since the 90s. why are you even here
