Re: Best retailer for FJ kit?
The first pic of a Barry Lyndon is a great smock for the price, not bad a pattern. The last 3 pics are not worth buying IMO, they're splinter A. Spend a few more quid and get the Barry Lyndon.
Cheers

Re: Best retailer for FJ kit?
He guys,
Because we make museumquality products of any division it is possible that we help you?
Our products will get an 'battlelook' treatment before they will be sold. Not straight from the box
Our last order was to complete an display scale 1:1 Pak38 with three men of the waffen SS divsion Hohenstaufen.
This took place at the Liberty Park in Overloon the Netherlands.
Please feel free to take a look at www.n-i-s.nl
Regards Rob

Tom has re-enacted FJ since the 70s I believe, when jumpsmocks were cut down Dutch overalls. He gets his own material printed and makes the smocks himself, they're one-offs and very hard to come by and expensive when you do.Paulkd wrote:Who is/was Tom Gulliver?

Darrens correct with the above statment, Tom had bolts of cloth printed many years ago and it is perfect. But unfortunately Tom refuses to make any more smocks?, even if you wave cash under his nose! so the cloth just sits there in his house gathering dust
Re: Best retailer for FJ kit?
I didn't realise he still had the cloth!

Re: Best retailer for FJ kit?
Yes he's still got it, apparently he has enough left to make about 18 smocks and then god knows how many helmet covers etc from the scraps. The last time he made something that I know of was a step in splinter smock for Bob Sellars (which i think went to a guy in your group ) and Bob had to nag him for months and months to get it done.

Don Calder makes a really good bando, He goes my FJfabik or something close on ebay. I have one of his early type one blues with the slanted pockets. I love it and holds ammo snugly. Unlike the cheap China made ones.Hans Gowert wrote:hmmmmm correct bandos !!
Im on the far end next to the guy in the T/W smock.
