Glad you found the forum and sorry to give you the bad news at Victory show- you will see on the Finnish web site the caps they sell which differs to Hikis. Not sure if Milpro/ Milform are still doing summer tunics but you can always call them (and our Finnish friends I'm sure will provide an update on what is happening there!)
Cya at Pickering (if you are going to that - look out for the red hackle) - I'll be 1st Battalion Black Watch, Highland Division again (until Rich starts participating in shows again - hopefully Beltring next year??)

Varusteleka is currently in process of buying Milpro. I don't know if there's much left in Milform these days unfortunately... luckily we've just gotten our own Etulinja & Varusteleka co-operation going so we should be getting more and more quality repro out there in REASONABLE prices
Hats in Varusteleka are Milform made.
