Customer support of ww2sale stated that they can make this gear customly, and that Hessen steal their photos. ;))

Just received today a M-37 Feldbluse from ww2-uniforms.com

Good communication, fast shipping. Quality of the uniform pretty similar to the Chen`s ones. "Shiny" not that thick wool, not top accurate interior lining color+material (some of the reinforced parts just are looking too synthetic), looks a bit purple! . I asked for a 36R and I got like a 40R. Apart from this, you get what you see in their pictures. Another Chinese repro. option... Not for me again.

Cheers!

Communication is good. Poor quality, wrong dyeing, wrong size. Pretty much left apart...
You was a Chen's customer before?

WW2sale and WW2-uniforms are pretty well the same company
I brought stuff from both and came in same parcel after asking with their customer service person she said there the same.
Anyway im no expert with WW2 clothing but they stuff is ok and quality is better than some of these chinese suppliers

I decided to give ww2-uniforms.com a shot just to see what happened. I ordered a wool M40 Fliegerbluse. First off they auto check out did not work. I recived a request for payment from paypal in about 30 min. and then a phone call about 3 am local time. The phone call was to inform me that they are out of the wool and don't know when they will be restocked, but they would "upgrade" the tunic to the gabardine version for no extra cost. As this is just an experiment I told them to go ahead. I asked about their turn around time on an order, and they told me about 2 weeks. 7/22/12 is day 1. will keep everyone updated to when it gets here and will post photos of what it looks like if it ever shows up.

What rank boards? I am just interested as not many people do them. I have leutnant ones which I had to have custom made all 4 pairs. Lol.

Week #3 No uniform yet, but now I can track. Tracking shows the package is in the USA, and now has a USPS tracking number. I checked it out on the USPS site, and it shows that it is just an electronic pick up notice.
