Smocks still available, I'm accepting offers

Now this may sound quite absurd to many of you, but can anybody recommend a good UK dealer offering Spearhead/Barry Lyndon items? I'm asking because buying from HK via ebay from here (ie Italy) means suffering expensive customs, weeks of waiting, loads of paperwork and general sh**t. It seems we're ...

The only real problem I'm having with HBT from Asia is the size naming - they do not seem to be as reliable as the European manufacturers (ie a Medium is in fact an Extra Large or something like that) and the fit often leaves a lot to be desired (sleeves reaching to fingertips and the like). But for...

Hmmm...the first two and that one with Rommel and his officers look hand-tinted to me

Nice stuff anyway, thanks Kamerad !

It worked :mrgreen: ! I used a small packet of Dylon Olive Green and my DAK web belt is now a very nice and slightly faded olive green. Perfect! As an aside - which others might find useful and interesting - since I was there, I also dyed an old pair of cheap Italian camo trousers (made in Asia and ...

But I DO have seen them, my friend ...Think I'd shell out that amount of money without a good reason to do so ?

Hi! Regardless of their being practical or not in the field, the absolute best DAK tall and ankle boots available today are those custom-made and offered by Zeugmeisterei. I'm having a pair made for myself right now. If you are looking for a top-class reproduction which is as close as possible to th...

Just ordered the Dylon dye (Olive shade), will try as soon as I get it!

This is going to be fun

Thomas is back, has contacted me and is sorting my orders out - rejoice everybody , I believe everything will be back to normality soon.

These are the smocks I'm offering (pics are from the Epic Militaria website, which is where I bought them). Plane tree No. 2 is available in Large and Medium size, Oakleaf Type B in Medium only.

All three smocks are brand new and in absolutely mint condition.

cheers!

Will try to take and post pics asap for all to see.

cheers

Got it

Thanks you all

Yup, I know it has to be soaked thoroughly- but what sort of dye exactly? For textiles I imagine - any suitable brands suggested? Possibly something I can get in Europe (thanks for the kind offer Grabenkater, but importing from the US is a pain nowadays )

Hello Kameraden one question for the real experts - how do I color (permanently) a Wehrmacht tropical webbing belt? The one I have is a pale yellow-tan and I want to tint it in the often-seen DAK dark olive-green. Already thought of Blanco but it seems messy, not lasting and above all it's totally u...

Hello Kameraden I am selling the following to make room for new high-end (ie Zeugmeisterei) stuff: - one Spearhead Planetree SS Smock, fully reversible, waterproof/windproof lightweight cotton duck, Large size - one Spearhead Planetree SS Smock, fully reversible, waterproof/windproof lightweight cot...
