The partner to Khaki Drill and Jungle Greens is also a very good book to have.
Yup... the first book I listed is the new paperback version of that.
Aha,did take a quick look at the link but didnt recognise the cover 
Make a hole or slit. It may be best to sew it on a bit as well... sometimes

loops of thread, like you do for medals on a german tunic?
DO YOU???
Ah, so THAT's what they are for 
I just stabbed holes in my M43 but my M36 came with a thread loop. I was about to cut it off (whilst cursing the shoddy seamstress who left a loop of thread on my tunic)
Also, anyone care to explain what's going on here...?
the " lambeth walk"?
how do you attach the officer 37 pat brace attachments to the belt? mine are slipping off as soon as I put the set on.
You really need to take the brasses off the belt and thread them through like a buckle, that way the tension of the belt keeps the little metal bar down.
Pigs to put on by all accounts.
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I've never had to do that and I've had no problems with slippage either.
They are put on in a fairly weird way, but it's not tremendously difficult and certainly ends up with the being held on very firmly.
I can't think of a way to explain it. But you do have to push a big loop of belt through before passing the stick back in and then tightening back up.
Whats a reasonable price for an 37 pattern map case? I'm after one for the "Polish Connection" for Crich. I ordered a reproduction map of the Arnhem and surrounding area it's on the way.
I paid £12 for an economy 37 pattern one in mint condition. I'd not pay more than £20 for a 37 pattern one.

looking at the thread post date I wouldn't have thought it was still for sale !!
Blimey, I didn't think map cases were now pricey items
I've both types; full-backed and economy, both in fantastic/unissued condition, and paid £4 and £3 respectively.

whats the difference between 37P and 37P Economy?
The economy has an exposed back board with a plastic cover and a single webbing flap over the top. the early version like yours is completley webbed.

A new question - will the webbing sten bandolier take MP40 mags?

yes, no problem.
Anyone tried converting French battledress to British Austerity/1940 pattern?
I've seen a couple of jackets on Ebay, and apart from the open collar (which looks like it could be altered) they seem to be dead ringers for '40/Austerity pattern.
Yes cut is similar but the colour of material is nowhere close. Once you add in the time and dificulty of re tailoring a repro of the British jacket makes more sense. Far Eastern and Czech supplied ones are available for £45-90 as well as the Pegasus, WPG, MPP and SOF options.
