British gear without wool

Russe11 · 2014-01-10T20:58:38Z

I'm new to the WW2 gear. I bought a sten gun on impulse as it was reduced to Â£100. Now I guess I need the outfit to go with it. The problem I have is that I am mildly allergic to wool and cannot wear it next to my skin. I figured that full battledress wouldn't work as any mismatch between a woollen tunic (wearable over a shirt) and non wool trousers would be obvious. I have managed to get a Belgian Denison smock, now I need to find a decent approximation of the trousers. Any suggestions? I'm not after complete historical accuracy, I'm more of an airsofter than a historical re-enactor.

Just ordered Denim battledress from What Price Glory. I have ordered some retro motorbike goggles in the hope of making them safe for use as eye pro and some Soldier95 leather gloves. I plan to go to Hockwerk in July
I work most weekends so the only way I can make an event is if I book a week off but I like the sound of a secret rocket facility
