I have seen a couple of these jump smocks and the Splinter pattern on the material is pure fantasy, it resembles Splinter "A" rather than the correct Splinter "B" pattern.
These smocks are also supplied "stone washed" to give them that worn look but it doesn't work as the wear is uniformal over the entire garment. IMH these smocks are fine for private battles but for static displays or to dress a manequin with they are wrong.
I cannot comment on the jump trousers though.
All the best,
Mark.

Knackmandl stuff...

Hi all

By looking at all the stuff he has he is just another one of those "Sturm" re-sellers. Sturm's wool stuff is really good, the FJ smocks, so far, are not! Wrong pattern and/or wrong material. Anyway, it pays off to compare the prices...most dealers now a days have the same stuff but different prices and different selling stategies...

cheers

It looks like that guy is just reselling Hong Kong stuff for twice as much as you would pay on ebay.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbarrylyndon28 looks to me same material as http://kleiderkammer.usermaatre.de/index.htm ... Is this correct ?

Not only the same material, but BarryLyndon has a website (not functioning for buying yet) and the pictures are the same. Buy direct and save a lot of money.
