Hi all, hope you can forgive a longtime lurker for asking this type of question here.
I've always been intrigued and excited about specialist equipment, particularly the Luftwaffe equipment and uniforms.
I had been looking around for a long time for a good repro of the Kanalhosen, preferably the lovely summer version in blue, but never managed to find one exectly up to spec.
And, since starting training to become a bespoke tailor, I started to entertain the thought of making them myself, both for use by a fellow collector and pilot friends with a penchant for history, and as a way to preserve the legacy of the flying crews, since unfortunately, the originals will probably fade away, one day.
I've found a person on the panzergrenadier.net forum, but my account was never approved, even after repeated messages to the forum moderator.
The member in question, who goes by the name 'FtrPlt', has made a great looking copy for his fellow reënactors, and I would love to get in touch with him to talk about his work, and if he allows it, purchase patterns and instructions from him.
My question is: Can anyone assist in making contact with 'FtrPlt', or someone who has done something along the lines of his work?
All the other roads I've taken led to nothing, and I'm hoping that this thread will help Christmas arrive early this year.
