Si acesta e citatul insotit de poza:
Original uniforms, none of which match. The 4 on the right are all made in 1943.
If this is difficult to swallow, please call A.Speer at the Reich Economic office in
order to lodge a complaint. I'm sure that Deutsche Telekom in Berlin
information will be most helpful in locating his number!
Wool and Color
"If my pants don't match my coat, I'm gonna call my Mommy....!"
We have a lot of questions about wool color. Here's the one and only deal:
We copied original field gray garments. "Field gray" comes in dozens of shades, depending on dye lot, material content (wool versus substitute fibers) and so on. The base color is essential a mix of gray, green and blue fibers, that blend together to yield the color.
The Germans were extremely supply conscious and recycled everything. An M36 tunic made from late war material is not a typical thing, but an M43 made from earlier stocks is entirely feasible. Originals come in numerous shades of green, gray, olive, and even brown. There is no single, correct "field gray" color! There are only acceptable parameters, and we are familiar with those.
"So why can't I have a 100% color match with my pants, cap and tunic?"
Life would be easier if we had just ONE color. Please understand this. It is a supply nightmare, but we are striving for authenticity, not mass marketing of cabbage patch doll wear. Just like the authentic garments, we use several shades at different times for different items. Moreover, the tint of one roll of the same wool, will sometimes be different from that of the next. We will not alter our policy to fit modern misconceptions of historical fact! We will not change history to satisfy the customer. If all originals matched, then we would do it. Our measuring sticks are originals, not the fantasies of Professorus-Emeritus-Knowitallicus-Reenactoricallus.
"I MUST have a matching set for my impression and to be satisfied."
You're a farb. Call another company for farb-wear. We don't copy repros and our standards are not dictated by modern fantasies and factual ignorance. We're striving to duplicate WWII-era uniforms and please our own sense of creativity, not to please customers unfamiliar with or unwilling to accept historical fact! If our unwillingness to make incorrect garments offends your sensibilities or makes you pissy, tough.
