Sturm is actually Miltec a Chinese company. With that said it's not a bad tunic. I'd suggest having it tailored to fit properly. One major thing is to bring the waist in to give it that hourglass look. that improved mine a lot. Best wishes.
I work a lot in the theatre/movie scene. I had a buddy of my, she told me this trick. If you use a cheese grater it makes it look very used and beat up.
Who makes the best tunics? I’m interested in M36 and M40. I have an M36 from Sturm, but who makes a better one in terms of reality? I saw somewhere in with size stamps inside, but can’t figure out which company it is
Honestly I got a m40 from epic militaria. I did so much work into it that I can truly say it looks better than any other German repro. People don’t understand that if u really put in work, u can make a tunic look perfect.
Epic militaria really isn’t all that bad, the stuff I bought from them are pretty nice. A few things are off but really not bad I think they are nice @NFGINC idk why you are being such a dick about it really
@@silpsizzup1299 honestly, I don’t but I do agree with the other guy because epic is honestly shit, buy a Nestof or military harbor tunic also ATF makes some good ones too
Sie können es auf verschiedene Arten in den Boden eingraben und 1 Jahr lang graben und für 1 Monat graben oder für 1 Woche sind dies irspirements - was besser ist, wird nur das Experiment nehmen
Hey quick question (very helpful videos btw) but where/how do you launder your uniforms. After some hard events your uniform can not smell the best and I don't want my wool shrinking etc. (It's also awkward giving German uniforms to dry cleaners)
Just wash it like done in the video. There is no need to use soap or anything unless it’s really stinky. It won’t shrink unless you wash it in hot water and put it in the dryer. If you hand wash it with cold water, you’ll be just fine.
@@worldwarguy459 thanks for the response. I am mainly a US reenactor and have experience with really dirty uniforms from some harder events. Now that i'm getting into some german stuff I wanted to know as US wools are much different. If anyone wants to know about washing US wools use the lightest setting on your washing machine wool setting if avaliable (repros only) and make sure it washes on cold. Finally hang dry do not use a dryer. Hand wash originals never machine wash original clothing.
@@paulkremastiotis6296 just literally wear the tunic and just mess around in it and the buttons would naturally wear off, another option being sand paper.
@@paulkremastiotis6296 I used sand paper on mine doesn't look too obvious to be perfectly honest. Could always buy real buttons and put them on your tunic for the authentic look. Don't think real ones are too expensive.
I just got my first tunic and pants. And I'm abit worried that they are going to shrink if I blast then with water and then letting them dry up completely
@@stopmotionboy1085 the difference is even wearing it on a cold day here and there isn’t going to make you look like a soldier who’s been living in it for months.
Cathan Mc Cann basically you go to the website click the random letters at the top and press “copy” (btw you gotta be on mobile for this) then come back here and when you’re typing press down on the thing where the letters appear (yes I forgot don’t judge me lol) and then press “paste”
Funny... The result is quite good, but DON'T do that if you have an original tunic in good condition ! More seriously, you should have also rub a bit the buttons with sandpaper, yours look much too new and not coherent with the job you did. My experience told me, that on an original, the paint on the buttons doesn't lasted very long, even on a tunic in very good condition, just because of the metal they are made with. And I don't like the breast eagle, it's an early model with dark green backing. OK for a model 1936 tunic, but not for a model 1940, that's not very realistic. You should have chosen a "subdued" type. Don't forget that breast eagles were sewn in place during manufacturing...
I have seen original M-43 tunics with the dark green backed breast eagles which did strike me as odd and that is why I remembered them. I suspect the manufacturer was using up old stocks of breast eagles. Of course, these are the exceptions and not the rule, I have seen perhaps a half dozen over the last 40 years.
