"I started reenacting the WWII 82nd ABN Division in Southern California in 1986 and I've been to weekend events in the sun, rain, seawater, and snow. I have seen first hand how uniforms, gear, and boots can deteriorate off your body. Being 6'3" there were few original uniforms that could be found for people like me and I started filling that need in the early 90s. I know what it's like to be eagerly waiting for purchases to arrive in the mail. I also know what it's like to be disappointed. Our professional staff will work hard to earn your business and help to make your ordering experience a pleasant one. We respect and value you as a customer and we want to bring you back again and again for all your WWII uniform and equipment needs. We have been in business longer than most others and intend to be here for as long as there is a demand for quality American made products." Juan Carlos Gonzalez
"I wish I had bought from you first!" We hear this phrase from customers all the time. We offer a refreshing contrast to the plethora of low-cost low-quality reproduction products available elsewhere. We exist to satisfy the high standards that quality and value minded historians have for the uniforms and equipment they need. We have a loyal base of customers that are tenured in the historical programming community. They know who to buy from when they need quality uniforms and equipment that will last time and time again. We sell WWII era mil-spec quality uniforms, not low quality costumes. We are the only company offering such a vast selection of domestically made WWII military new-made garments and footwear. When placing an order for garments always include accurate size measurements. Call for uniform dimensions to insure proper fitting. We are not a tailor, therefore we do not make alterations to our garments. We recommend you see your own tailor if the uniform needs altering. These uniforms are authentic in every way and are in "off the shelf" sizes. We do not guarantee they will fit anyone whose dimensions deviate from that of a typical fit soldier.
