Old is gold

I’m trying to get those thick Korean boot blousers. I found them online but it’s only been from Korean stores in Korea that don’t ship to the US and/or require a Korean phone number to sign up for the site. Do you know where I can find them?

You just got my subscription. Keep up the great work. I enjoy your content. All my best from the @mikeinmexico channel

Korean here, yes its bit odd that Ski Parka is bit more greenish. mine is more greener then summer pattern although its used in cold weather like winter or late fall.

I found multiple military shirts and uniforms in a thrift store or “ukay ukay” I got 2 korean uniforms. A tonghab from Sgt. Kim who belongs from the 3rd army corps in Korean army. Another is granite b from a lieutenant. You can get military uniforms in ukay ukay for $1 to $20 but you have to dig around. I got both for $2-$3 bucks. Ukay Ukay is a thrift store where you need to dig around until you get what you need ans they are mostly used. Philippines 🇵🇭

i have their 2009 winter jacket, i was going to buy the pants but i fell short on money, so unfortunate...

Nice video brother, this channel deserves more subs

I have the field pants. Early pants that aren't ripstop. Literally love them. I want a field jacket now! The material is a "baumwolle" material like mix & seems very similar to my German flecktarn jacket in material... very similar materials actually almost identical weave & feel, weight. Belgium material maybe being a touch lighter.

been trying to hunt some of these down myself, did the same as you've described, but the last few months seem to be absolutely horrible for stock availability - sizes like 27.5 are too small. I'd suggest getting your hands on the similar zipped pilot boots aswell, they're something I've personally worn and are quite nice

That greats collecteble item . A couple south Korean very hard to find

100% sure that's a "C" for 1983 like my one.😀

British camo is better for me and overall a better uniform.

The sewn bits on the back are graduated pleats. Many people unpicked them as it gave and extra 1.5” of chest and torso.

Try to get indonesian army

WTF???

very cool boots!! if only they were your size, but to be honest they look TINY

I have a mint unissued Cookson & Clegg 68' in XL Rare as hens teeth

I think that each military may, just possibly, have designed a camo pattern to suit their enviromement. Simples!

They used this in Indochina and Algeria after ww2 up until the late 1970’s

Cool video

How do you read the size construction

i from China do u like vietnamese army uniform or u just don t like it 😂😂

In the field, would troops be given replacement magazines of ammunition or would it be in some type of clip to fill up the empty magazines ? Would these be in bandoliers ?

I just want to say I love the work that you do here man, and that i am so glad i found this little gem of a channel. Keep it up, I'm rooting for you ;)

Fun fact "British DPM" is not actually British, Its Dutch

That thing's cool

Sickkkk

Dutch military garments are some of the highest quality out there!

Got any luck finding S. Korean Noodles/Waves camo? Pretty hard to find

Having been issues with 68 pattern jackets in the 70s and early 80s I was a bit surprised when some years ago I ordered a much later 84 style DPM jacket to spare my Barbour jacket when renovating a new house and garden. I wondered where the buttons had gone, what was with the Velcro, and why the hood had a copper stiffener. So thanks for explaining the change so clearly. Prefer the old style at least for present tasks. And the pre 68 olive drab jacket was very nice too.

You know where I can get a pair of these? They seem to be really rare. You keep them in Great condition!

Nice Vid. The inside zippered pocket is for a soldier's papers and documents. The inside pouch across the back is for a blanket. This whole M70 suit seems to be a very Swiss idea, just look at how much stuff they stuffed into a Swiss army knife.

Yeah the arm length on those combat smocks. I have tried a few on and the arms are way too short. I have a pair of the combat trousers from the same date and they are the most heavy duty trousers of all time. I use them on canoe expeditions, they are super hard wearing, heavy fabric, great for rough country conditions and working around the camp.

Awesome video! Love my TAZ 57 model 70 jacket!

I found a new pair of 90's jungle boots (RO Search) and just got a pair of these all leathers for fall/winter. I love that this sole has the look of the Panama sole with better traction. My all-leather ones from 93 came in a Altama box, added better insoles and elastic laces for more comfort.

Please note the fact you have this a criminal act took place, it is illegal to sell or have this in your possession in Ireland and old kit is supposed to be destroyed after being handed into the stores and CQMS etc..... This law is in place since the troubles and still on the books. We cannot even wear parts of this off duty or people who have since left the army

The 84 pattern (not P84) looks darker because they changed the material to 'modal' which absorbs the inks more and makes the material look darker. They actually changed to this material partway through the 68 pattern so later 68 pattern smocks are the same dark camo as the 84 pattern. The pocket on the right sleeve takes a field dressing.

I just acquired some Serbian coveralls. mine doesn't have patches. But it did come from Serbia. Its stained. Mine was listed as police special forces, I'm assuming it's real and has seen usage. What I'm getting it's anti terrorist. And the pictures I've seen have the same pattern. Mine though is darker than yours. Yours seems brighter than mine. Also my shoulder straps are camo and not just canvas like yours. Shoulders are for I thinkkkkkk body harness or extra gear. mines also not quilted by the shoulders. I have a flecktarn one that's supposedly German. A

Mann muss sehen, dass das der Ausrüstungsstand von vor 45 Jahren ist.

I think the stitched loops are for foilage, small branches, grass, rags, etc for additional natural camo.. The big gasmask pouch is useless.. Better to carefully unstitch the pouch material and make a new pouch or add some matching camo pouches. Best part is you can modifiy your vest to the way you like it. 👍

There is a lot of colour variation in Brit DPM

DAMNNNN.....Tri-pod and use both hands. Dates are written on the labels and wears off. Old out of date vest. I use open in front vests like that but not many folks do. Usually more expensive but easier to get on and off but heavier also. That snap thing is gone. Can update the vests you like with newer armor. Need videos on how older plates perform. Always figured the out of date thing was so that military and law enforcement had to buy new armor.

I think it's buttoned inside to keep it protected when out in the field

I have the desert version of this I have the waterproof liner and the fleece liner also I also have the desert hood

I was issued one when I joined, over the years, we got newer jackets but they never bettered this version, hard wearing, very warm, thicker material and just a better all-round garment, chaps tried to get hold of them instead of the newer ones but they had all gone out as surplus kit.

I have reversible fleece in this pattern 👍🏾😊

Early pattern British disruptive pattern material uniforms up into including about 1995 were horrible for losing buttons. And then they copied the Canadian slidetype buttons and it solved the problem but good Lord were they awful at first and you had to reinforce all of them nearly. That's not just a east German problem

Dpm is much better than mtp

The additional buttons on the neck are not for the hood; they are for the synthetic fur liner. The actual hood for this parka is a separate piece of cloth, which is not attached to the parka at all (a very strange and stupid designers' idea).
