I most likely collecting are Vietnamese Uniforms, from 1946 to this day, the first indochina war when vietnam want Independence, they make their own Uniforms 1946-1954 model, I have one, only make new model, so that fit's me. Collecting Uniforms is really interesting, and so many this to learn about it 😊
You might thank us for watching, but thank you for making these videos! I'm into camps for wearing them(and mostly just the cargo pocket style pants), so I don't care about counterfeits but being clones and price(I prefer clones as I'm not using up history for vanity), but I'm glad there are collectors like you keeping this info all gathered and collected! And for showing the awesome Nigerian patterns in this video as I know what my next pair of camo pants is gonna be, or well try to find a clone of for cheap online
For the organisation with the storidge boxes there are apps where you can stick a qr code to a box and scanning them shows a photo catalogue of the box
You are so lucky to have eBay to help with your collection. Here in Mexico City, it is just flea markets, street markets and Facebook marketplace. Your channel inspires my own as I continue to amass more and more great items, I thank you greatly for your efforts. Keep up the great work.
Being part of the Swiss cold.war reenactor group in the UK, I can say that wearing 'full' swiss M61/M70 is not my choice for the apocalypse - I prefer webbing over the pockets - full kit minus rifle is about 17kg and the uniform design puts all the weight onto your shoulders, and if you want to take a break and remove the weight, you have to undo all sorts of straps to get your jacket off
Got my start from just simply needing a cheap warm coat and came across an add for Czech M-85 Parka. That Parka came with "fur" collar,liner,and hood for about 30$. Knowing what I know now I should have left it unworn and in the bag( it was unissued) but man that coat is awesome and durable.
Thank you for picking my question! Interesting choices and hey everybody loves the rain patterns and very valid, wish there was more modern iterations of them.
Can you do videos on different tiger stripe camos I don't mind which but it's a bit of a crime to have just the air force's ABU and blue tiger stripe camos when there are so many types.
Brother is going to casually glance over the full Rebel Hoth grunt costume from Empire Strikes Back like it's nothing? That better have been an intentional "coming soon" tease else I'm going to sob like a wee babe.
Another nice video! As a fellow collector, I always look forward to your uploads! I'm still surprised you haven't made a US pattern of 1942 Frogskin video yet. I can definitely attest that there seemingly isn't as much information out there as I would like there to be, but you've hit on most of the major US camo already, seems odd you haven't got the first yet! It would also be cool. You can make a video on US parachute camouflages.
The prices I usually see for this kind of helmet with complete headset and microphones are moving from 370 until 700 dollars for older ones. I dont know if its a good price (cheap or expensive) . Im not an expert but I hope it kinda helps you.
Yeah we need some more of the uniforms of the Pacific theater WW2, Alamo scouts , USMC raiders, , Force M and Z , Japanese Marines! Australian Coast watchers
Watching this vid makes me think of my small collection some 30 years ago. Many of the patterns I had then I've not seen in army surplus stores for decades, not to mention the prices.
In my observations, European uniforms tend to fade pretty quick compared to US counter parts and require higher care be taken. The fact your 1986 produced jacket still has color is amazing.
If the jacket is something you use and just want to get it darker green again I’ve found Dharma Trading’s moss green dye makes a good retro military green. Follow the directions but diluted a bit more than recommended for the first go and be prepared to repeat. Wear gloves and agitate it a lot. Make sure it isn’t too wrinkled. The wrinkles will absorb more dye and give you an uneven job. I wouldn’t do it to something I consider to be a collector piece. I would also caution you about their “army green” dye. The moss green is close to old US BDU green. The army green is more like a modern TDU green.
@@judelarkin2883 No I dont use it for anything outside. Its just a part of my danish 1980s impression. I will just let it be because I dont want to ruin it. Thanks for the answer.
Thanks for another video. I have an affinity for the Italian vegetato pattern. My favorite obscure pattern is Somalia’s. It looks like it might be French woodland that has been adjusted to be for a more arid region than the woodland but less so than French desert. The Somali pattern is getting rarer, even in pictures. They have recently been utilizing various US patterns. My favorite cut is current German. Just sturdy cargo pants and a shirt with rectangular pockets, simplicity.
Theres a certain variant of the U.S. Army IHWCU top that doesn't have the velcro loops on the upper flap of the sleeve pockets and I desperately want it. Also weird seeing Americana pipedream apparel blow up after they followed me on Tumblr back when all they had was a few vintage clothing items on their site.
