I was never really into fur stuff until I saw those in John Carpenter's The Thing, then I was completely turned on.
It's also one of the oldest issued uniform items in the U.S.
Originally starting as the Jacket, Aircrew, Heavy, Type N-3 introduced in 1945, in 1958 it was improved and redesignated N3-B, and went through several modifications over the decades such as color from brown to blue, sage, then grayish, a wolf/coyote/beaver fur trim to synthetic fur, and lining material, and it's still issued today to USAF and USN crews in Arctic conditions.

pic related, as worn with the also quite old N1-B Extreme Cold Weather "Mukluk" Boots.

Helmet, Flyers, Winter, B-9B
Mittens, Extreme Cold Weather, N-4B
Parka, Extreme Cold Weather, N-3B
Trousers, Extreme Cold Weather, F-1B
Boots, Extreme Cold Weather, N1-B

All of which went through several changes, but most if not all are still seen brought out for the coldest ops like Operation Deep Freeze and Exercise Northern Edge.

All three are nice but the M90 and S95 are a little to big on me so I might sell them or trade them in st the surplus shop here down town.

Nice but undoubtedly modern. Not only the velcro which could have been added any time, but the style of the stitching. Especially on the bottom of the hem and the sleeves. Print looks good, no misalignment. I'd buy it for an average price, $60 or so?

I have one of those, printed on ripstop so definitely a repro as well. I'm not sure where they're coming from. Stitching says sweatshop or little old woman using fabric. Hard to say if the fabric is being sold as second quality or being printed for testing, YUMCO still own and exhibit the pattern but they're really cagey about it.

Sorry, real guns are too expensive, and even then it's not like I'm going to actually operate in this shit, I just like collecting it. Why buy a real gun when I can just buy a fake one to complete a look? (And yes, I know the Swiss have used the Sig-550 since 1986, but I'm looking to get my hands on a Sig here directly, 552 model, not the 550)

>>34610951
Ok, then let me correct myself: Winter trousers and parka. Better? I didn't mean an actual difference in the camo, just the styles of the uniform.

You look like a tryhard. Like the first ones to die or get captured in an unit.

This is actually a really inspiring photo for collecting.
I'm still working on getting equipment (For multiple loadouts, my Swiss being a pretty basic and actually rather enjoyable collection) , hardest part is just finding substitutes for stuff I can't find. Such as the OD combat belts they wear over their parkas/jackets, can't find those for the life of me.


Any suggestions for sites/milsurp pieces for a Swiss rifleman loadout?
What I've got:

Helmet-Swiss M-1971 w/Alpenflage cover
Boots- Already Stated
Firearm- (Just Bought) Sig-552 (Fake, I'm a poorfag after all) (Doubt that it's used heavily by Swiss army, but it's within my price range)
Face Protection- Already Stated

But I appear to be lacking a shit ton in terms of equipment. I'm looking for:

Mag Pouches
A Holster for the Sig P220/6
E-tool With Cover
Alpenflage Carrying Pouches
Combat Belt (Found and will be ordered)

If anyone knows any good sites for those, it'd be much appreciated.

No winter, summer, fall, or spring. Just uniform. The only other set was TAZ83 which wasn't used on deployments. It was more of a "barracks" uniform.

Also the belt wasn't a standalone belt from what I remember. It is the strap from the gas mask bag.

Thanks for the diagram, Alpenfudge, all of the pictures I've been able to find I've mistaken the pouches on the back of the parka for separate pouches that might go on a harness rig or a combat belt. This clears a shit ton up and actually pretty insightful.

Posted a thread last night on a VKBO I received from Grey-shop.ru

I questioned it's authenticity when the tag's were hand stamped, lacked a OTK marking, and the shade of the material was much lighter in color then the usual authentic Digital Flora EMR.

I emailed grey-shop asking why the shade was much lighter, and it lacked a OTK marking, they told me the OTK marking doesn't mean anything and every Russian company uses it, (which is untrue as its a military quality acceptance stamp)

They dodged the question on why the shade didn't match the hat, which is a genuine issue Item, and replied the hat was made in a different factory and the material could be different.


I linked a few images of authentic VKBO's and asked why they are different in color compared to my suspected fake, and they dodged the question and simply said it was made on Rip-stop which is why the color is different then the authentic VKBO's.
I emailed BTK Group and they responded that it is indeed a counterfeit.


this is exactly what I ordered, talk about fraudulent, "our shop is purchased directly from BTK group"

Also I'd like to apologize for my confusion with the """Winter Uniform""" mixup. I found a lightweight jacket/trouser set so I assumed there was a seasonal difference between the heavyweight and lightweight clothing.

In other news, I'm planning on getting an Eastern German Summer camoflauge BDU set and will be devoting resources towards that.

What's even better is that I already have that airshit AK, probably the most expensive part of the collection.

>>34614867
Yeah that's the TAZ83 set. I just call it the barracks uniform as it wasn't used on deployments.

>I already have that airshit AK
Why not get a real one?

>>34614884
Don't make enough, only working part time, but it gives me a lot of free time. And even then, I simply collect, as interesting and fun as firearms are, I just feel it's easier to buy a fake gun to complete a look.

I'm actually going to use Hessen Antique for my East German loadout. You can get a used helmet for just 40$, good price imo.

A lot of what you are looking for should be there for decent prices (a bonus if you're looking for legit issue/manufacture stuff), some of the items are a little over-priced, but not by much.

Just looking at my kit list, I spent around ~$400, but that is with being a complete stitch-nazi and a perfectionist.

Oh, then consider me a stitch-nazi as well.

Also, on Hessen Antique, I have assembled a full-on Eastern German Summer collection for about half of what you paid.

Only substitutes are:
EG AK-74 bayonet (As opposed to the AK-47 bayonet, lower cost for same effect.)
Czech Guard Boots (Can't find EG boots, can find German Police boots, but not explicitly EG boots.)

Either way, I find East German milsurp super interesting for historical purposes. Am I alone in this feeling? Just liking something because it's super cool for no real reason?

>>34621541
Honestly, in my list, the most expensive single thing I bought was the NVA jackboots at $52.
But I also bought like 3 sets of it too, so that really doesn't help my wallet...

But hey, I like the EG stuff too, decently priced and honestly looks fine on me.

>>34621541
Also, have you looked on Ebay.de for the jackboots, there is always a bunch of them (the only problem is finding a seller that will ship to the US/outside of Europe)

Why crotch and legs before torso.

Problem with that though is that he has the UTV cut of the strichtarn. He's not going to have holes for shoulderboards.

It's just a step-by-step construction of the uniform.
You'd be a fucking idiot to operate an M-56 without the targeting system.

Pic related, it's the piece that goes over the operator's right eye.
An IR tracker on the front of the gun picks up movement and (On later models) can actually adjust the stabilization arm slightly to aid in shooting said target. On earlier models it would only point out targets and leave the aiming up to the shooter, making the operator fatigue quicker.

You sure? I have both regular and UTV cuts and I thought I saw holes in the UTV... Maybe I'm remembering it wrong... Haven't pulled that out of storage for a while... hmm...

There were some transitional versions that had both (essentially just older uniforms with the sleeve rank loop sewn on).

It's an okay pattern, especially compared to the grayscale nonsense it replaced.
Works p. well in early spring and late autumn.
