Gruppe,
Does anyone have a reproduction kradmantel they are happy with? If so whom did you purchase it from? Early post war W. German mantels are long gone and the French ones are not a good option and original ones are hard to find and too far gone to wear in the field.
I purchased one of Hong Kong Keith's new kradmantels and the pattern was spot on. The buttons were crap, the collar was crap and the material was too thin and once it got wet it became chalky white.
