My denison from replicators: The main problems with it were the colours were faded before it even arrived, and faded as soon as it got wet, and the brass poppers were really flimsy and fell apart.

Detail showing missing popper front:
I also bought some denims from them as well, and they were just bloody awful. they were the wrong shape, the wrong fabric and just, well, crap.
I have some Replicaters stuff which I'm very happy with - Denison (no fading in the wet, poppers all top notch), BD Denims and Barathea SD. Others have had stuff which they were unhappy with. It seems to be a bit of a lottery. Sanjay's stuff represents extraordinary value for money IMHO, especially for WWII Airsoft and the odd social, but if you're after re-enactment quality I'd go somewhere else.
Pictures won't really show you much. You need to examine garments yourself if you're concerned about things like fabric thickness, cut and stitching.
I cant believe, after all the horror stories of crap kit, no kit and lost money, that people are still willing to risk using Replicators as a supplier.
Yes some of his kit is ok, his jungle greens and some of his KM stuff looks fine, but the bad news that comes out of Replicators is just too much.
I tried them once, for a shirt they claimed to be experts at making and that was exact in it's details. You couldn't even use it for a duster.

Yup, I did put this 'public service' post up a while ago:
You might think long and hard about ordering anything from Replicators. Some people have had goods arrive. Some have even has decent goods arrive. But take a look around multiple forums and you will see complaints about non-arrival of goods, late arrival of goods or goods that arrive and are not as described or are useless junk. His web site is shambolic, he has stolen images from elsewhere (ie not even depicting his handiwork) and shows reenactment groups that supposedly buy from him or endorse him, which is a complete fiction.
For all the above reasons, despite one or two items being supplied 'correct' to some people in the past, frankly it would be little more than a gamble ordering from him and it would be irresponsible to 'recommend' him as a supplier. You have been warned.
