That is great news!

Questions:
Is the field cap available on Varustekela from you too? Would you recommend it?
Are the straight trousers coming soon?

In any case, well done!

For the whole war, starting 1939?

Would you have a place to find correct buttons? I have made a little research and I can only find tin, bronze and plastic, but not brass!!!

Thanks!

Could you give the different sizes of buttons needed on the tunic? (front, shoulders...)
Thanks!

Thank you, I could have wondered for quite a while if not for your infos!

Thank you for the info!
I saw nothing on their site, is this one still good? http://www.milform.fi/
I don't speak finnish so I may have missed something.

By the way do they do breeches, straight trousers, or both???

And do you think there is still possibility of an agreement? I hope it is still going on...

By the way, anyone knows if Milform is still prepraring repros of the m36 uniform, somebody talked about that a few weeks ago?

Hey guys, no news about the Varustekela deal?

One thing I would like to point out though is the difference between units. Yes I think it's an important point. :) He is wearing repro german M40/M43 trousers in the picture, at the time those pictures were taken, we did not have a supply for trousers yet. Thanks for the info, I think it settle th...

I don't know where you have heard this... If anything, breeches were more common among officers. You're right, i'm probably mistaken... After a check one of my books specifies that breeches and straight trousers were worn by all ranks. In Asepuku m/36 the typical winter war officer has straight tro...

Hello, I have a few questions about the trousers used by the Finns (especially during Winter War which is my main interest). Here is what I know, please correct me if I'm wrong: -Originally the straight trousers were for officers and the breeches for the soldiers, but then (when?), soldiers were all...

Yes the profile seemed high to me too
I will wait for the availability of a better one on Varustekela.

But good to know that the side cap looks great! But this kind of side cap was far more common on officers than on soldiers, if i'm not mistaken?

As there was No French units in the Battle and that it was found in a old German position I would say it was one used by the Germans I was speaking of a french soldier of 1939-1940, not during Nordwind. But if we know this magazine was found in a german position, then it was probably german used in...
