Heads Up: Canadian Battledress Uniforms - Reproductions

[SimonvanSoest]

Since a few months we have been busy reproducing Canadian Battledress uniforms, pattern 1939, because large sizes are becoming very hard to find.

The uniform consists of a jacket and a pair of trousers made of green wool with reproduced, green, metal buttons. All the original sizes are available, including oversizes. The total price of the uniform is €275,-. A jacket costs €162.50 and trousers €112.50. The shipping costs are €25,-. To order, please send an email to dsmilitaria.ordering@gmail.com. We will send you an order form.

We are still trying to improve the quality of the reproductions. We also want to reproduce early Canadian uniform with collar hooks instead of a tab with a button and white lining instead of khaki lining. That is why we ask for a small gift to make this plan come true (more information in Facebook message). Your gift will also be used to reproduce other accessories of the Canadian uniform.

The guy making the Pixie suit repros is also making Canadian BD... worth contacting him if you want some.

I'm the guy who is selling them for him. It's my product

Ah ok - didn't know... I have another project with him - he mentioned it in passing.

[SimonvanSoest]

Ah like that! What project do you have?

Hello Simon,

First of all welcome to MLU Forum!

As per my email, please explain to the membership who "we" is and what the business model is. It seems Irfan is the manufacturer, so are you the distributor (either as a private seller or as a registered business)? Or are you collaborating with Irfan to develop these and bring them to the market (like Jim Burrill does with the pixie suits and crew suits)? In the former case this is a "For sale" ad, in the latter case a "Heads-up" ad.

In the end it is important for buyers to know if they are doing business with either the manufacturer direct, or via his distributor. The order and payment should be placed at either of the two.

Thanks in advance for your clarification!

Regards,
Hanno
