Where can we obtain.

ok, that size puts her mostly out of the range of original uniforms. The reproducers whose products I have examined and find to be accurate representations are www.whatpriceglory.com and www.wwiiimpressions.com. Her US size for ordering purposes would be a 14.

Remember...you'll need an officers' cap patch too...a mirror-image of the enlisted one in your photo. OD caps with black/gold officer piping are harder to find..they were worn with the Ike uniform..I have some originals but don't know of anyone who does repros, though you might google-up EPIC MILITARIA? Also, if you wear a "chocolate" blouse, as an alternative a "pink" garrison cap would look very spiffy! Good luck.

 

Ian :thumbsup:

Already got Cap garrison Officers with correct piping, badge and rank insignia got that from S.O.F. in Wales last season! Elastique.

Wanted one like "Airborne" style to wear with Class 2 Dress uniform, which I already have also got Choc/Pink shirts and ties, and trousers for Class A.

Just trying to get one of these BL---Y caps!

Hi

yes tried that, I have heard that some guys had bad experience with these? Anyone heard anything?

I can never get anyone to answer the 'phone there!!

 

I have their WAC ETO uniform, and I am pleased with it. It is a decent uniform for the price and looks good. The wool is a little bit lightweight (lighter than anything else I own - the rest of my uniforms are originals), but that's a welcome thing in Texas anyway. For a reenactor, I think it is a great uniform. I have ordered many items from WPG. He isn't the friendliest guy to talk to, but he is honest and I've never had any problems with anything I've bought from him.

 

I also have the WWII Impressions women's cotton khaki blouses and one of their reproduction women's garrison caps. All of it is very nice quality. I'm sure WWII Impressions women's uniforms are nice, but IMHO the cost is somewhat prohibitive. Same thing with them - I've never had any problems with anything I've bought from them. If you decide to order from them, I really recommend calling first and confirming the items are in stock. Lots of times they'll be out of something and if they are, you're instantly put on a backorder list and when it comes in they charge you and ship it.

 

In her size, she may be able to find *some* original items, but they will be far between and expensive. Any uniforms larger than a vintage 16 (about a modern US size 10) - the price skyrockets. I've never seen any original uniforms for sale larger than a size 20, about a modern US 14. I am just on the border of being able to wear original stuff, and I have seen girls much larger than myself wearing original uniforms, so I know they are out there.

Sure, no problem. I've just boughten some insignia from Kevin, seems like a pleasent person to deal with. I sent him cash, which is never advisable, everything turned out okay, I'll be going back.

Hi

many thanks for your time/trouble replying, got it sorted with Seal militaria in UK for shirt/skirt/tie/cap/belt.

Looking for shoes should not be that hard a problem,UK size 6 "Low Brown Oxford shoes". Just trying to find an officers jacket AS WELL (HARDER)

Money not the problem, it's how can I say politely, Rather big girl on top, so will definitely need a UK 16 ,or buttons straining, ENOUGH SAID on that. (embarrased now)

 

Once again your help appreciated

regards to all who helped
