    Planning to get my first piece of classic clothing soon! An M1942 paratrooper jacket.

    I wear the smallest size - 36R, so I doubt those get snapped up as quickly.

    Planning to get my first piece of classic clothing soon! An M1942 paratrooper jacket.

    Once a refund clears on my credit card next week, I'm planning to buy my very first bit of "classic" clothing, as part of a costume I'm putting together for the Penny Arcade Expo in early April. Anyhoo, I plan to get the paratrooper kit from At the Front. This will probably be my main getup...

    WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread

    I wear a size 10, so should I buy a size 9 for the Corcoran jump boots? Hmm... I think I'll give ATF a call to about the paratrooper package, since it contains nearly everything I want. Just need to get rid of the musette bag and the shovel, and I should be good to go.

    Thanks. I think I'll buy the basic uniform from ATF and buy a pistol belt and a Thompson magazine pouch from one of those vendors you listed. That should be enough.

    You've got other recommended vendors?

    Meh, I think it might be easier and cheaper to buy the entire paratrooper kit from At the Front, then. I'll place a call next week. Hopefully they will allow me to get rid of the canteen and shovel.

    WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread

    I've been incredibly interested in doing an impression of an average 82nd Airborne paratrooper, and in order to cut down on costs, I've decided not to buy most fieldgear unless it "completes the look", so to the speak. So, I have one question: If I plan to get the M1923 cartridge belt, do I...

    Anyone watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic here?

    I know some of you gentlemen may laugh at me for this, but has anyone here watched or heard of the children's television series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"? It's bloody good, especially if you remember the classic cartoons of the 1990s. Also, if you look through Youtube, it is...

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    I bought LA Noire during release last year on the PS3. Good game... but the writing was somewhat harebrained at parts. The most jarring part of the story was how abruptly Phelps's wife gets introduced - during the spotlight on his affair, of course. But, the aesthetic was spot on, even if it...

    Synthetic suits - Thoughts?

    Hi. I only have one suit - it's a single-breasted 3-button polyester suit (with a rayon lining) that I bought at Target three years ago for $60. The only reason I bought it was because it didn't need any dry cleaning and I could simply machine wash it without any trouble. It was also very...
