Default Interesting....

I got a British AFV repro from WPG which is very nice but the cotton is very light weight material.... now he does sell them as North Africa and Italian campaign garments. I am afraid to wear it as I don't think it would stand up very well except for parades or clean re enactments.

Just out of curiosity when did the Canadian Armored Corp start using the one size fits all jet black heavy denim coveralls .....as used in their workshops I have worn those and they were very sturdy.

I have given up finding a suit that would fit my 6'2" 210 pound frame.... but would be partial to a good sturdy repro.
