FJ in Italian Camo pants?

[theduke335]

Did they use them anyone have any wartime pics?

[Hans Gowert]

yes, also coveralls ,

the only pictures i have of FJ in italian camo are back from the lines , not actual combat photos. Not saying they didnt as i wear mine for front line use also but i dont have any photographic evidence at hand. Sure some people will do.

I would post them up but its hard to pick em out of a folder with 1560 Fj photos, lol

I like the look of the Italian camo jump pants and i want to wear them with my impression but i don't want to be farb! lol

[Hans Gowert]

not italian jump pants ! just normal trousers , luftwaffe as far as i know copied there tropical trousers and were often seen with with leg ties and attached belt

[theduke335]

Ok i ment the copys of the tropic pants lol the ones with the map pocket on the thigh not the wool "jump" pants !

I would say it would depend more on what Theatre of operations you were re-enacting as to whether it would be farb or not.

Italian camo trousers with jumpsmock look imho a bit starnge.. very confusing with so much camo.
But they look very nice when worn with Fliegerbluse only so I'd wear then in camp

[Hans Gowert]

you seen the pic yannis of the FJ in italian cam jump smock ?

[GRFJ]

I'veen one pic of an Fj which looks like he's wearing an Fj smock made out of Italian camo material, if that is what you're asking?

[Hans Gowert]

yeah,

standing with italian SPG's .


I wonder what made him get a FJ smock made in italian camo

[theduke335]

I would like to see that pic!

[Hans Gowert]

if i can find it, somewhere around here.

In what context do you want to wear italian camo duke ?

[theduke335]

context? Well i guess i have always liked the look of the Italian camo and i would only want to wear the tropic style pants ...the unit i am in mostly does stuff from Italy ...but we also do russian front (they want us to wear tropics when we do russian front <farb!>) so i am kinda branching out on my own ..doing my own thing but staying true to the game so to speak. Im also trying to get into the wholesale gig (mostly selling Fallschirmjaeger gear)

Looks good with a Lufty Tropical jacket for Italian/Monte-Cassino portrayment though?
