Kit thread what you will wear on the day

looks ace rooster. did you sort out all the loan stuff you guys need off josh at minsk?

Yeah pretty much he has some nice thin jumpers now as well

Recently came across an old M41 Jacket which i had before i did my airbrone impression. Was wondering should i buy some more items to go with it and do an infantry impression for the game. The Jacket is from Sturm Mil Tec and it says officers field jacket (pictured below, also please note its a bit "greener" in the flesh)

Am i correct in saying just follow the kit guide here?

If that is the case i have all the webbing i need from my Airborne load out so will need the following items:

Doughboy Pack
Leggings
1937 Trousers
Roughout Boots (was going to use my Para Boots and maybe get a larger size leggings? Thoughts? Suggestions?)

I am off to war and peace on Sunday So will be looking to maybe pick some bits up there. Is there any vendors (online and at W&P) that i should be on the look out for or stay clear of?

Any advice would be much appreciated! Or if I should just come as my usual Airborne impression i could do with getting a new jump suit as mine has seen some better days.

Hi Stu

You do not need the doughboy pack in the field, they are just an additional item we have for fun.

Leggings are fine over Corcoran boots - they look like the US service shoe which was worn as well as the roughout. If you are at War and Peace, then you can try the leggings on for the best fit.

Hope that helps

As Wladek said the Doughboy Pack or a Musette bag will get dumped at the regen they always do in this type of game/event. While it is a good thing to have them in your kit for the future you will be ok with any period look webbing bag that has your name on it dumped in the Regen.
Don't over kit yourself for this there are places you may have to crawl through

By 1945 there were a few choices for US boots inc the M43 but Corcoran would be right for Airborne from the start of the war. It was only after Arnhem that their kit started to improve to the 43 standard.

By 45 both standard inf and Airborne could have the M43 but only Airborne would have the Corcoran or the M43.
