usaaf93 Posted November 28, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 28, 2018 Hello I recently bought this set to a forum member. I bought it for an original ww2 set and I am 100 % sure about the seller honesty. I got it today. I am 99.99 % the jacket is a nice original example. I do not feel the same with the pants since I have them in hands. I see a couple of weird things on it. I will share my thoughts tomorrow but I would like to hear what you think about them. Please write some argumentation as why you think it is good or not not just it's great or it is crap. Thanks Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Flage Guy Posted November 28, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2018 Looks good to me...very nice Jacket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted November 28, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 28, 2018 I can see your concerns. You need to post better pictures in better light of the pants including the thigh pocket tag........if it has one. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted November 28, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2018 Now that you mention it, shouldn't the size numbers on the tag be embroidered rather than printed? Don't know if they ever did them like that... UPDATE: OOPS..Just went and checked my "King Kard Overall" pants- the size is printed, and not sewn.

usaaf93 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted November 28, 2018 Since you figured out what bothers me the most, no need to wait for a day.... No tag on the right pocket (and no trace it ever had one). This was my second flag. Here is a comparison with a size tag of a mint HBT pants for comparison.

USARV72 Posted November 28, 2018 Share #8 Posted November 28, 2018 Trousers size tag looks new compaired to overall wear. Other than that , shirt is good, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Graffiti Posted November 29, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 29, 2018 Trousers are good AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted November 29, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 29, 2018 Another thing you can do is burn a loose thread to check if the thread is cotton or synthetic.Looks like several to choose from. Im not familiar with all the repro makers and maybe someone can chime in and answer if any of them go to the effort of using cotton thread in repros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M422A1 Posted November 29, 2018 Share #11 Posted November 29, 2018 It all looks good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaaf93 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted November 29, 2018 I just checked the thread of the tag and of the pants. It is cotton for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted November 30, 2018 Share #13 Posted November 30, 2018 Pants are good. They appear to be hot washed in a machine giving them a brushed whiter look. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tag on the right pocket (and no trace it ever had one). This was my second flag. Nothing wrong with those trousers, they are the real deal. Not sure how you missed the washed-out Manufacturer's Tag in the pocket, you show it in your pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaaf93 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share #16 Posted December 2, 2018 The picture you show is the tag of the jacket not of the trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIJive Posted December 2, 2018 Share #17 Posted December 2, 2018 Okay, my apologies. At any rate the trousers are genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
