hello all,
I have been thinking of becoming a german reanactor, and if i am to become one, I would join "der erste jug" (i have not contacted them yet though, oops).
well...here is a list of some basic gear that is required to be a mamber of it, mainly what i would like to know is how to know your' size of uniform and a good place to buy equipment, because like most poeple I don't have money to through around on mitchels mousers (i spellt that wrong, and im not denoting it, it is a great site).
Field cap (Feldmutze): Model M-43
Tunic (Feldbluse): Heer Model M-42 or M-43
Pants (Keilhosen): Model M-43
Socks (Socken)
Foot wear (Fussbekleidung)
Work shirt (Hemd)
I.D. Disk (Erkennungsmarke)
I.D. book (Soldbuch)
Gaiters (Gemaschen)
Belt and Buckle (Koppel und Schloss)
Helmet (Stalhelm): Model M-42, 40, or 35, Original shell
Overcoat (Mantel): Model M-42 or 40
Ammo pouches (Patronentaschen)
Bayonet (Seitengewehr)
Bread Bag (Brotbeutel)
Canteen (Feldflasche)
Gas mask (Gasmasken)
Spade and carrier (Spaten und Tasche)
Y-straps (Tragneriemen)
Mess kit (Kochgeschir)

I know were i can get some of these, but i would like to know if there are other sources for these specific items, I would prefer not to use ebay (i have had to many bad experiances there). if anybody has any link to someone that sells these (at a reasonable price), please post.
thank you.

ive been on ww2militaria before and the m43 is not on it. And many other sites are way to expensive.

he has not got them on his web site but does have them listed in his ebay store... check there he also has m42.... look now he has just got in fresh stock of m42 and m43 uniforms and they are perfect, it doesnt look like he has any M40 pants in stock, you may consider buying m37 pants but his m37 pants are alot grayer then the m42-3 tunics so you might consider contacting him and asking him if he doesnt have any (he should he keeps some set aside)
you may have to buy pants else where

timmy, it seems you are worried about expense, if so, don't become a reenactor. #1, big waste of time, #2 expense for travel and equipment. Stay at home and look at porn on the internet, hell, it's free!!!!

i think what timmy means his for his initial impression he wants it to be cost effective and to move to more expensive things later

i would rather do somthing good like re-enact then look at porn
