The History Bunker

[Peter Graham]

I'm considering buying a repro WW2 German tan and water camo parka and while checking the options I came across this site. Has anyone bought anything from them ? Some of their leather jackets are pretty nice and well priced. I really like the Luftwaffe jacket and the RFC coat, although their A-2 is probably the worst I've ever seen. The site gives the impression that they are made in the UK, but I very much doubt that.

But what really interested me were these.

Wow! They sure nailed the sleeves on the A-2!

I can see myself picking up a Carentan Road sign, very nice.

Cool. Keep us updated. I'm still hankering after a Carentan sign.

I will post pics. Postage to the US was not bad. Really the cost of these (if they are as nice as the website photos) is pretty reasonable.

Hi. Thanks for the link. Another site to ponder. The parkas on half a dozen sites look nearly identical but the prices vary, quite a bit sometimes. I'll need to get some advice on which are the good ones.

awesome purchase, surpassed expectations, nice price, quick service, inexpensive postage IMO for an overseas item. The sign looks a little bowed but its the camera angle. Going to purchase the Carentan for myself as well. Also ordering a Carentan and Dachau as gifts in re a large WW2 project I am involved with in the Fall. Based on their products, service, communication, I will probably try one of their made to order wool jackets. Back to the road signs, an absolute must for the WW2 man cave! measures in inches: 32 1/2 by 12

Looks fantastic. The Carentan sign is on my shopping list for sure now.

I will have pics of the Carentan sign in about 2-3 weeks. I placed my second order already.
