Their British Battledress is the best on the market.

Not too long ago, one of the owners passed away and Panther Store discontinued the Allied uniforms i.e. the Battledress. Really a shame because it certainly was the best available. The website is still up in Czech language which is a bit difficult to understand...but they do sell German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian uniforms .

Rocking a cap made from 1943 Splittertarnmuster pattern today.

Here's my 1944 pattern Winterjacke in 1943 Sumpfmuster (later) pattern and the jacket I lived in today. It was hugely welcome as I was getting thrashed with hail and snow driven by gale force winds. One other nice thing with the ATF version is that it has the proper metal "shield" buttons on the front closures. Just a great foul, cold weather coat.

going to Star Wars the rise of skywalker in the
Noble house B 3, it was only -2 but the lack of sun
And wind made it feel very chilly so I broke out my
Woolly bully.
movie was good if you turn off your critical thinking
Like most sci-fi movies

Thin drizzle and rain here today so no chance for the B3. Today it was a Fjallraven smock no.1 along with a New Zealand Chunkies fisherman's sweater.

I really like British 37 pattern denim BD trousers. Great to wear and very tough.

22 must be a blessing, jeez it's been hot back there. I saw Penrith hit 49.8 yesterday, that's just bloody mad. Keep cool mate and make sure you've got a ton of tinnies in the fridge.

It's been snowing here today and it's hard to sometimes remember just how bloody awful 40+ plus days were back in Oz.

I miss people, not the summer.

People here shit me! So much FB angst over the fires. Everyone is blaming the PM? Emergency response is a State based matter, as you know. Everyone is demanding local action on global climate change. I am demanding that restrictions enforced by local councils for years are removed. No more protests for protecting the bush. Let those that live in it manage it. Anyhoo...

Just a button switch and voilá.

Not only... they had their ID N# ( Stammrollen Nr) stamped in, since back to base they gave it to a special laundry service... plus the rank and breast eagle loops... plus the special rigging of the buttons and special buckle...
But yes... fakers just sheepishly switch ( mostly the wrong) buttons.

I was referring to the Germans back in the day... I am sure that there are dubious types out there that could replicate or consolidate period insignia for an 'original' to move on to an unsuspecting buyer.

1000% agree... only a trained and expert eye can make the difference...

Prien and Topp are arguably the most famous U-boat commanders to use British BD but they were used by an incredible multitude of Kriegsmarine men. You can also see photos of Schnellboot crews using British BD.
