Check out Trident. They are a bit pricey, but their uniform pants and tunics are dynamite. They're made in Ukraine in one of the factories that made Soviet...
I think you're right. I got my son's uniform last November as an Xmas present and that's probably why I went with Trident. I remember emailing back and forth...

I bought the $73 one from Collect Russia, it's pretty nice. They use post-war buttons, so later on it might be good to replace them with originals or good ...
But how long do you shop before you buy? IMHO when an outsider comes into a group to tell everyone they he is knows more than they do even though he doesn't...
I asked Clay/Toomas some time ago is they were going to make them. At that time the indicated probably not to maybe, leaning to towards not. Apparently the...
I think one reason why the M43s might not be selling as well is because there are so many other sources. If you wear a small size you can easily and cheaply...
I got a question about why ostfront has the shoulder board loop and button a little forward on the shoulder. When I wore my 43 the first time with the boards...
The loop and button should be forward of the shoulder seam. ... button a little forward on the shoulder. When I wore my 43 the first time with the boards on...
Yes, and the key word in your reply is "post-war." You must remember that post war tunics are different than war time tunics. Not so much in style as in...
I don't believe anyone is going to kick you out. Where are you at then? Martin ... this group, but somehow I ended up propelling nearly the entire place into a...
Thinking about it, might the difference also partly be that the postwar uniforms have often been worn and used for years, washed, etc and the material now...

I wish I could put this on a billboard. You guys need to be very careful about which M35 tunic you buy from Trident. One of them is very good and all the...

They should be slightly forward of the shoulder seam. That is how they were during the war. Take a look at some photos. Or better yet, find out if anyone in...
Well then you are in the 8th Guards area. Dan Knight is on this list as you have probably seen. He is the overall unit commander for the 8th. I guess it comes...

Don't buy the one with exposed buttons. That is the one Jason is talking about. If you can show those type of pockets on tunics. I would love to see them. The...
Where did I say that I know more than everyone else? Can you point it out? No, because it didn't happen. My interest in authenticity is limited only to...
It doesn't take much. We are a pack of nuts for the most part. LOL I think the issue comes from this. If your not a RKKA reenactor, how can you know if we are...
