Thank you for wanting to see what just a few of our customers have to say about our products and service... We graciously thank these customers for sharing their experiences for your benefit!  Initial message: I've had it with the Pakistani made leggings and haversack I've been using. The bayonet won't stay in the eyelets on the haversack, and the keeper for the strap that goes under the boot bent on my right legging at an event. Fortunately it didn't break, but it began rusting over night! The shelter halves I ordered from your 4th of July sale seem to be top notch. Subsequent message: If I may add to my comments in anticipation of receiving the WWII Imp. made leggings and haversack. After receiving, handling, and trying on the items, I am most pleased. I'll start with the leggings as there is less to them and I own several sets of originals. The fit at the boot is snug, as are the originals. The "economy" versions I had were loose and looked terrible. The material is a match for the original, a lighter, coarse canvas. The cheap ones were yellowish and soft (much less durable). The hardware matches the originals and feels very durable. The cheap pair was simple, stamped, thin metal (aluminum maybe?) and bent easily. Hands down, worth the money, they look and feel great and I think they could go through a war or two. The haversack is pretty much the same story. I don't have an original to compare it to, but there are several things that stand out when compared to the cheap foreign made version. First, your meat can pouch is the right size. My mess kit actually fits without being forced. The cheap one didn't have room for the utensils with the flap closed. Second, you have the correct number of grommets for the bayonet. I know two shouldn't be a hard number to match, but the cheap pack had three, three! Why?? They weren't spaced correctly and the bayonet tended to flop out and fall off. Oh, and the loop was way too low for the short bayonet. Your's holds both my 10 and 16 inch bayonets securely to the side of the pack like it should. The material is the same as the leggings, coarser and a better color, its similar to all of the original and quality repro web gear that I have. All in all I'm very happy with both items. I'm also very pleased to have a nice, new pack carrier that looks like it was issued with the pack. I will most definitely be shopping WWII Impressions again and again. I had previously purchased an Army and USMC shelter half from you, and they're equally wonderful. I know you don't need to be told that your products are top rate, as you run the business, but I feel that its always nice to hear positive feedback, and in today's society, too often the only feedback take the time to leave is the negative. I've heard from online message boards that you show up at events and seem to genuinely take pride in your company and its products. This is very promising and worth encouragement. Please keep up the great work and keep it all made here in the U.S. just like the originals! Thanks again! Joe Coppens 8/9/10 "I'm so glad you have these back in stock. I have actually just sold my What Price Glory USMC shelter halves to make room for these two. Your USMC gear is the BEST!!! I am hoping to geth these by 8/14 for a display event. Thanks Again!!! 8/5/10 Eric W. K. Hi, Just received my cap this morning - excellent. I think the best compliment that I can pay is that it is identical to my original cap in every detail. I look forwards to using WW2 Impressions again as the service and quality of goods are both excellent. Matt Price C Co. 1/327th GIR, 101st Abn. Div Living History Group, UK Hello Juan; Received my ww11 Marine Corps helmet cover. I'm very happy with it, a top quality, well made, great item.. Thanks again John Doyle Juan, I wore that shirt I ordered from you for the first time on Veteran's Day and again yesterday at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, where I work. I received the highest of complements from not only the museum's administration staff, but from my fellow docents who served in the AAF in WWII. They couldn't get over it. They thought I was wearing the real thing, in other words a 60 year old shirt. The shirt is very comfortable and I can see why Army officers loved it. I received complements from visitors as well and getting a "thumbs up" from other WWII vets really makes it all worth while. Thanks again for making such a quality product. Bill Barto Juan, I received my order the other day and the suit looks fantastic. I'm reallyimpressed with the new material, it feels more durable than the previous one, and the new zipper's are great as well. I do like the reinforcements on the previous run better though, the canvas was heavier and the new canvas is kinda used looking. I'm still trying to get used to the green, but overall good job. Thank you for all of your help, I must say your customer relations are top notch. Eric Juan, Thanks for getting back to me so soon.  I went to the Post Office and it was there for me.  I am very pleased with the officer's chocolate shirt. I will always do business with you.  You are definitely the BEST for reproductions.  I have been spreading the word about your products. Thanks and best wishes! Ron Mr. Gonzales, I just received my order and I wanted to thank you for the high quality of the merchandise. More importantly, I want to express my appreciation for the professional courtesy shown by your organization in my phone conversations and emails. Everyone I spoke with was patient, and went the extra distance to accommodate me. You are miles ahead of that fellow in Kentucky...he will never last against this old fashioned type of customer service. Thanks, Steve Shackleford Milton, Indiana Juan Just wanted to say your products are of the highest quality.  The M-42's are outstanding.  Looking foward to doing business in the future.  Thanks!!!! Keith Patenaude Northampton, MA B/307th AEB recreated I just received my order when I returned home from Ft. Polk La. (JRTC) I am VERY impressed. your product is very well made and looks AWESOME. Thank you very much. Bert Puckett 1SG A co 3/504 PIR 82nd ABN Div., Ft. Bragg. To Whom It May Concern, I am writing today to express my sincere gratitude to Juan Gonzalez and the WW2 Impressions Staff for their superior products and service.  My recent order was handled as if it were their most important business, delivered on time and to top it off, the shipping costs came in at less than estimated! The '42 Rigger Modified "Overlord" jumpsuit is simply fabulous. The color, and fabric are exact and the suit 'weathers' beautifully. The Corcoran Jump boots fit perfectly. I heartily recommend to reenactors, collectors and military history enthusiasts everywhere to consider the museum quality products and world class service of WW2 Impressions when making their next purchase. With appreciation for your commitment to excellence as together we honor those who literally 'saved the world.' Tom Clegg Des Moines, Iowa Hello Juan and Staff, just want to say how awsome your new run of m42 paratrooper uniform and your m-43 paratrooper pant's they are dead on. I sure can't wait to order more thing's from you. Keep up the great work. Mike Kuhn 506th easy co. 101st. airborne CURRAHEE WWII Impressions, I recently received my OverLord M42 outfit...Wow! I am impressed. I compared it to an original and needless to say it is very hard to tell the difference, even right down to the label in the bottom right pocket. Great job and Thank you! Kenton Falerios Airborne & Special Operations Museum volunteer. Juan         I rcvd the ankle boots yesterday.....I am quite satisfied.....THANK YOU.....it was worth the wait.  .... thank you for standing by with followup service to your customers respectfully mark chun Dear World War 2 Impressions, Last week I received my Quartermasters coat. I am pleased with it to say the least. Having not seen it in the flesh I wasn't quite sure what to expect but on receiving my order it was far better quality than I had imagined. I looked at several sights on the internet that sell reproduction uniforms but yours was far better quality than any of the others. I also noticed you are mentioned on the 101st Airborne web site "Trigger Time" in the uniform section commenting on how you're paratrooper jackets are as good as the originals. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and have bought the coat as an every day garment, not just as a collectable. Kind regards, Mat Tonks J- Received the paratroper jacket today . It is AWESOME!! As promised I found the 48 star flag and 101st screamin' eagle . Everything has more than met my expectations . Dr. William Christensen WW2Impressions, es la mejor Web,para todos los que amamos la gran gesta que hicieron posible los hombres que combatieron en la WWII. Felicitaciones, Ramon Farre, Spain. Juan, Just received the russett boots I ordered some months ago. The wait seemed like forever, but now that the boots are in hand, I have to apologize for my impatience. The quality of the boots could not be better and the attention to detail is perfection itself! I seriously doubt that a finer pair of WW2 era repro boots can be found anywhere, for any price. I have no idea who your competition is, and quite frankly, if you have any competition, it is my opinion that they won't be for long. You know, as re-enactors, we hear all kinds of stuff about everybody out there who sells us repro stuff. If my note can help you spread the word about the quality of your stuff, have at it with my blessings. I assure you, that if I hear anything negative about your stuff, I'll be the first to defend WWII Impressions. You may also rest assured that when I come across a compnay like yours, I will do everything I can to get my compadres to buy from you. Look for my next order soon. Thanks again, Jeff Dissell MVPA, 1st Fl. Chapter Gainesville, FL Juan, My order of the chocolate brown gabardine shirt and cap arrived today. I must say the quality of workmanship is beyond reproach. A truly outstanding product. Thank you. Bill Barto Hi  Sylvia & WW II Impressions Staff: I had ordered my Boots, Combat Service,  Shoes, Service Reverse, and Shoes, Service Russet back in November and December of 2001.  After a wait of nine months,  with only a promise of future delivery, it would have been easy to have become discouraged and cancel the order.  I stuck with you over the long haul based upon nothing more than your promise and my satisfaction with the quality of your products and your service in my several previous purchases.  All three pair of my boots and shoes were delivered this afternoon. To say that I am delighted with them is not enough. The quality in materials, workmanship, fit and authentic pattern was well worth the long wait. I could not have asked for nor expected a more superior product in all aspects. Thanks to all of you at WW 2 Impressions for providing such high quality, authentic products for the historic re-enactor. 1st Lt. Phillip Owens A Co. 105th Engineer Combat Bn. 30th Infantry Division  WW 2 Historic Re-enactment Society Dear WWII Impressions: Thanks once again for the excellent quality merchandise. I've been completely satisfied with items I've received so far, from head to toe. I'm really pleased to see that you're now offering the M1 (rifle) carrying cases in both regular Army and Paratrooper styles! I've ordered two of the cases to carry and protect my authentic (and functioning!) 1942 and 1943 Springfield Armory M1s that I take to the shooting range from time to time. I know when I receive them, I'll be very happy with the workmanship. I look forward to receiving them! Best Regards - Dave Tremper New York Juan,  Yes, my purchase was directly related to the level of customer service that you personally, and your company demonstrated. I could not have asked for more from anyone if I was trying to decide between products.  I posted on the board exactly what I saw with my own eyes, and that was that your fabric samples were identical to a set of original HBTs. I did this in the hopes that other reenactors wishing to purchase as exact a reproduction as they can possibly get will patronize your business. My sincere thanks for taking a personal interest in the satisfaction of your customers, a trait that is sorely lacking in some areas of todays marketplace.  Regards  Charles Richmond Juan: Just quick note to tell you that as a U.S. WW2 militaria collector for many years, I was very impressed with the quality of the items I was able to view personally at your new warehouse showroom.  The quality of the materials, stitching, dye colors and variety of items was very impressive. I recently purchased an Army HBT short-billed cap that was nearly identical to one that I got from a marine vet.  Nicely done and good luck! You guys kick butt with your quality repro items!  Keep up the great work! Sean Prizeman Wheaton, IL I know of no other place I can obtain the quality of uniform that you have to offer. I am a stickler for detail as a result of having been a re-enactor during the Bicentennial in Philadelphia during the 1970's. During the 1960's I was a commissioned officer in the Quartermaster Corps, so I also know something about uniforms.The WWII officer "chocolate" dress shirt and pinks trousers I ordered are great! The next best thing to wearing the real thing. You are my source for any future needs. Thanks also for the service, and constant updates. Sincerely, Charlie Fass I have dealt with every other major vendor and by far your service, communication and speed of shipment are far superior than your competition. Your EM products relative to quality materials, color, construction and how they hold up in the field  are the best.  Keep up the good work. I for one have purchased numerous GI EM items from WW II Impressions. Every item I have purchased has been of the highest quality. I have never had any problems with colors fading, shrinkage or fit. Juan and his staff have been extremely professional and very accommodating. When I have a question it has been handled to my satisfaction. I have purchased other items from other vendors and quite frankly would rate WWII Impressions far above the other vendors. I do not believe the other vendors provide the level of service, the quality of product is not up to WW II and as far as shipping and price I have found WW II to be above average. I would and have recommended WW II to my unit and other individuals. You cannot go wrong with WW II Impressions. Mike Capodarco Dear Sir, Thank you very much for the prompt attention to my pervious orders.  All enquiry e-mails to WW11 Impressions were answered quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Dispatch of my orders was efficient and I was extremely happy with the quality of the items when they arrived. I would have no hestistation in recommending WW11 Impressions as a dealer of very high standing. Campbell Finlay AUSTRALIA Great stuff! Well made and quality material. I've heard various horror stories about WW II Impressions from different reenacting groups and individuals. Well... As far as I'm concerned... They're full of (*&^. Everything I've bought from WW II Impressions has been spot on and held up exceptionally well. I've had NO trouble with color fading and spotting. My 42 Jump suit is 2001 stock and it's in great shape. Juan has good products and reasonable prices. Hey! They guy has to make money, that's the American way and Juan makes his the old fashion way, he earns it with outstanding merchandise and service. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, RICH LT. Cranwell Easy 502nd PIR 101st. ABN Living History Association I recently ordered the Quartermaster Jump Jacket and I can only say, this is fine quality. I have spoken with veterans who have told me what a great reproduction it is. Well, worth the price, and will definitely do business with these folks again. Randy Caughell New York, USA Juan, I just received my Roughout Boots. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. I applied the Dubbing today also and they look just like the "real" pair I have in the closet. Congratulations on a great MADE IN AMERICA boot. My Uniforms are all from your company as well. You will get my repeat business. Brian Ogstad 117th Inf Regt, 30th Inf Div (HRS) Juan-I was at the the reunion of the FSSF last week doing a display for the veterans and I got a first hand look at the new mountain pants you have produced. As I was wearing an original set, it was easy to make comparisons with the reproduction pants worn by some of our group. Other than the fact that the new ones are "new", you have done a magnificent job of reproducing these pants. The butttons, fabric and workmanship are identical to the originals. I will recommend that anyone in our group that has not already placed an order with you should do so if they are looking for a good pair of pants. John Dallimore, FSSF Living History Group Lt. Juan, I received shortly after my reply back to your response.  They fit absolutely GREAT!!!! I love em!  Can't wait to get them dirty at Fort Custer in Battle Creek Mich this weekend! Satisfied customer! PFC Andrew Peitsch/1st InfDiv/16th InfReg/K Company Sylvia, thanks for your patience with my calls! the officer's field shirt and jeep cap arrived today. i cannot imagine a better, more accurate looking knit cap out there! it fits great, feels great. thank you for producing such a fine piece. the officer's shirt is a terrific fit and great weight and look! thank you for the buttons as well. i wore the jeep cap all evening (even though it was rather warm). i'm ready for winter and fall now! thanks again, Bill Search Juan... Juan, I received the USMC Camo Jacket, USMC Shelter Half and the new M41 Field Jacket and  they're all superb! Your new Field Jacket OD is by far the best reproduction out there! And the USMC items are perfect. Many thanks for also shipping them to me before the weekend. I deeply appreciate it! (I can now show off the items at the upcoming Pacific War event in Paris, IL.) In the past couple of years I've purchased from you a couple of Jump Suits, a Tanker Jacket, Boots, Dungarees and now these items and you've always delivered a very high quality of items. As  always, thanks! ...Then again, your USMC Cammies are perfect. I saw at least 6 Marine reeanctors, including me, wearing them at the event. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to the Tanker Jacket. Chris Mantas Morton Grove, IL. Juan,     The Marine HBT material arrived yesterday.  Thanks a bunch for helping me obtain this!  I am very impressed with the quality and was surprised to find out how heavy the material actually is.  I showed it to my Japanese mother-in-law who remembers very well when the Marines arrived for Occupation duty in Sasebo, Japan in late September 1945.  She was also very impressed with the material. Thanks also for enclosing your latest catalog.  I will definitely place a few orders for some of your fine items in the near future.  You can now count me as a new customer! Thanks again, Phil Eakins Hi Juan, I just wanted to let you know that I recently received a M41 USMC Assault pack and cammo shelter half.  They are outstanding.  The quality of material an construction are second to none, excellent job!! Thanks again, Tim Hodge Sir:  Just a fast note to thank you for the quick turn-around on my order. The horse hide gloves, compass pouch, e-tool carrier, canteen cover and riggers pouches I received were top of the line. This is my third order with you and I've never been disappointed with your equipment and uniforms.  Keep doing what your doing, your the best out there.  Thanks again Frank Walizer Dear Juan, I am a immensely sastified customer,I have ordered two USMC shelter halves,Two USMC camo covors{hats],two USMC covors OD, two m41 blouses two m41 trousers, and a complete USMC camo ensamble all of these products are incredible,I takr them out of the closet just to look at them.{when I am not wearing them}.I was the guy who sent you an email last fall about how great it was that you were doing so well,keep it up YOU are the best of the best!! Jonathan M Caruso Juan Not that you need my approval...but I just received my first set of USMC camo fatigues. I WILL be ordering more...thanks for the first rate job! Clint Smith Mountain Home, Texas USMC 67-70 Combined Action Platoons RVN Uniform arrived today in great shape.  The fit is perfect.  I would like to thank you and your staff for their courtesy in my dealings with them.  I will be ordering more gear from you in the near future.  I wished I had ordered from you in the first place.  The only reason I did not was because XXXXXXXXX includes a fatigue cap with their uniforms.  I will be in touch.  By the way I never got the uniform from XXXXXXXXX.   LARRY Just a quick thank you for the wool shirt that I ordered. It was very good quality and looks like an original that i have . It is a pleasure to deal with a company that the product is as good as advertised. Dave DeHart Gentlemen: I received my latest order as well as the exchanged goods (I had changed sizes). I am very pleased with the great service you provide, and delighted with the superior quality of your WW2 military reproduction clothing. I will certainly be ordering more items in the near future.  Best regards, John Gebhard Woodbury, NJ 08096-2755 I just wanted to share with you guys how great WWII Impressions was in making sure my stuff made it here in time for the Gap, I placed my order's in yesterday and had both orders at my door this afternoon. They gave me great customer service and did everything they could to make sure I had what I needed for my first outing at the Gap. Thanks Dave Dalessandro Juan, Just wanted to say thanks for the M42 reinforced suit I received a few weeks ago. This is the second suit I've ordered from World War Two Impressions in as many years, and I think the quality is unsurpassed!! Chris Burton Alexandria, VA Dear Mr. Gonzalez, I received my first order via UPS from your company on Christmas Eve. I want you to know that I found the Winter Combat Jacket to be absolutely superb!  The other items, which included the Knit Wool Cap, HBT Fatigue Cap, and CBI patches, were equally top quality. I am preparing an additional order which I will be forwarding to your company. Be assured I will make known my complete satisfaction with your products and service to my colleagues at my forthcoming MVPA South Jersey Chapter meeting. I will be very well outfitted when I am driving my '42 GPW Jeep when its restoration is completed in the next few weeks! Best regards, John (Jack) Gebhard Woodbury, NJ Just got my Christmas gift from my wife and boy was I surprised.  I have always wanted the Paratrooper Jacket (like the one's in Band of Brothers).  It is a magnificent effort on your part.  The material, the feel, the buttons, and the smell are as about as authentic as you can get.  I can't wait to wear this back to work and show this  beautiful jacket off. WELL DONE! Robert Pearce Oklahoma City,  OK Mr. Gonzalez,    I just wanted to say that I ordered your Quartermaster set and I have never been more pleased with a WWII reproduction. It is excellent quality. The weave and weight are excellent. Please continue making these beautiful uniforms! Your prices are excellent and your quality is beyond description! Thank you again for making such wonderful uniforms!!! Kevin Doyle  I just thought I'd write a few lines about the service World War Two Impressions has offered me to date. Living in the UK I have been plagued by excessive import charges in the past and this led to me having to return items for a promisory note for the future. Circumstance rather than choice have made me a difficult customer but the courtesy that Juan has showed me has been unconditional and unwavering throughout. Add this to the high quality and consistent improvement of the product range and you have a winning combination that assures continued business. Thanks Juan. Tim Parker. Airborne command/ 507th PIR living historian. Mr. Gonzalez, I wish to thank you and your wife for accommodating me today! Every good recommendation I have heard about you in the past is well deserved! Ken Shigemitsu Juan I received my WW 2 Paratrooper uniform and was very happy.  It is everything I thought it would be.  A little side note.  Before I knew of your company's existence, I visited China and spent several days in Hongkong.  I had taken with me several photographs and drawings of the uniform.  Their quote for making the uniform was $350 with no guarantee of when it could be delivered. I'm glad I waited as yours is authentic and much superior . Many thanks Airborne!  All The Way Tom Parsons Juan and Sylvia, Just wanted to let you know that my HBT's came today, and I'm very, very pleased with them. Thanks for all your help. I'm looking forward to getting my wools, as I'm sure I'll be pleased with them also. Your reputation is certainly deserved! Thanks again ! Tom News Satisfied Customer Juan,   I just wanted to pass on a little note to say thanks.  I was in your store yesterday and was able to say "hi" to you and your wife while at the same time purchase an M-41 jacket.  I was so impressed with your inventory.  I love my new jacket and look forward to doing business with you again.  I will highly recommend your business to anyone just getting involved in reenacting (such as myself).  Now, if I can just come up with another couple of thousand dollars to spend.   Thanks,   Kyle Clark I just wanted to follow up with an email to say how satisfied I have been with my tanker jacket I recently purchased from you.  I have met some people who know little or nothing about W.W.II clothing items, but have responded how impressed they were with the fine quality of the reproduction tanker jacket I bought from W.W.II Impressions. The overall look and fit is excellent, so much so that I wear my tanker jacket as an everyday casual jacket (and got some great use out of recently in snowy Canada). I am part of a W.W.II reenactment group near the Memphis, Tennessee area, and I will have to say that I intend to be a loyal customer of W.W.II Impressions in the future. Andrew Earwood Juan, W H O A !!  Got my Jacket, Field OD Shade 3, M1941 back from you with P1936 USMC emblem on it and I have not been able to take it off!!  Have modeled it for several people; am wearing it at work.  People are expressing interest in getting one so I have printed order forms off of your web site to hand out as they comment.....thanks for pressing it as well - really looks sharp!!  AM very happy with it. Stewart Rayfield Hey Juan... I got the USGI overseas officer's cap...  That's a really nice looking piece of work!  Also liked your new catalogue and it's "period" format... ~S. Chris Kelly Lynchburg, Virginia Hi - You have well layed out site with superb looking uniforms/accessories!  I look forward to purchasing items sometime down the road.  I'm hoping to join a WWII re-enactor group and your company definitely has the goods to make the image right - at a less than horrific price.  :-) Keep up the great work. Thanks - Dave Tremper CT  USA Dear Sir or Madame, thank you for your outstanding and prompt service. I had ordered a pair of rough out sevice shoes for my son on Monday afternoon and they arrived today at 4:30 pm. The boots look great and the size is perfect.  You have my business in the future, thanks once again. sincerly, Joseph Nilo Dear Sirs, I received my order for the two pair of boots, both Russet Brown and Roughout.  I could not be more pleased.  These are absolutely the best I have seen outside of originals, which I refuse to wear.  I hope all of your products are this authentic I plan to be doing more business with you in the near future. Thanks!! Vaughn Yeager U. S. 3rd I. D. reenactor  Birmingham AL Juan and company, Just a quick note to say how much I am pleased with the USMC camo fatigue set.  It is astounding!  The quality is super and comparing it to pics in the Moran book, there are indistinguishable from the originals!  They are great!  I would recommend them to any and all WW2 USMC reenactors/living historians. Semper Fi! Cpl. Shane Hardaway 4th Marine Division reenactors To Juan and the rest of the crew I just wanted to take a few seconds to tell you all How very impressed I was by the level of customer service I received and all the assistance in creating my Paratrooper impression.   For anyone reading this letter after the fact; Juan was very gracious throughout the ordering process and was very helpful in giving me resources for research. The uniform was a huge Hit at the 3rd Annual John C. Garand Match at Camp Perry for the National Rifle competitions.   I wore the uniform all day long along with my M1A1 carbine and gear.  Many questions were put to me about the life of Paratroops at Normandy and I was able to improve my score form last year's match. Many people stopped me for pictures and a few took down your contact information with the intent to order uniforms for themselves.  Pictures will follow as soon as I get them developed and scanned. thanks again.  /:-) Jim Saltzburg Juan, I wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your excellent, and speedy service. I received the "type 2 service boots" you had sent in exchange for the "rough-outs" I had received in error.  Thanks again!  The boots, by the way, are EXCELLENT! Best regards, Jeff Dvorak Orland Park, IL  60462 Juan, Recieved my roughouts and my M41 today. Excellent jacket, awesome reproduction! Thanks Again, Jacob Curtis
