Re-enactor status

Is that we wear a uniform correctly.

Those who have done service know the little details that make the wannabes stand out. Long hair styles, jewellry, piercings!!! etc don't fit with the period unless we have modern vehicles perhaps!

I take the view that the vehicle should look authentic on the road as well. Hence I pack our stuff in canvas kitbags, and ammo boxes etc so a following motorist doesn't see yellow or blue containers, or worse. A canvas cover also works too.

In some vehicles, a green shirt and cap may be sufficient, but in a jeep or similar, green coverals or similar muted clothing looks a heck of a lot better than yellow PVC rain coats.

If you aren't comfortable with a uniform, then by all means go with the green overalls.

I get the kids to wear Jungle Greens when we go to events with the public present. They are more comfortable than BDs in our climate, but still look the part.
