Can't comment on SueSue.
I have found Spearhead to be excellent value for money. My latest Summer uniform + insignia was ordered at 22:00 hrs on the 8th May and was in my grubby mits on the 15th, $147 to the door.
I have a feeling that I will get more use out of the summer uniform than my wool M36, have you considered one?

I got my M36 set from a trader called Transparent Sunny on Ebay. Quick delivery good quality & price.
No M36 but here's an M44 set he has at the mo

Well suesue has a problem with identifying sizes, order a 61cm hat & you will get somthing totaly diffrent, I got a coat that was supposed to be a large but ended up being a XXXL, Barry Lyndons stuff aint bad, delivery time 10 to 12 days, beware German tunics are quite short, all his measurements are on the site, but I would go a size up to be safe, at least large as the lengths are short as per the origionals,

Gadge, are you going wool or summer uniform? Barry was doing a deal on the M36 summer feldgrau canvas - US$109 for tunic and trousers. I ordered large tunic, and it's fine. I'm 6'0" or just under, and have long arms. :) Trousers are spacious, and of course, best worn with braces.

I personally have not found his tunics to be short - with your sylph-like figure, maybe you won't either. :wink:

BTW, I also have a spare Russian campaign ribbon, if you are interested.

Wool, not a big fan of the summer ones and i dont have a problem with gaming in wool, doing UK doesn't give you much choice

OK, I have Barry's wool uniform too - M40 in my case, but if you can remember what it looked like at Arnhem? Anyway, I think the quality is great, and 10 days or so is not long to wait.

Suesue is great for the bits n pieces - Zelt, braces, socks, etc.

Used both , both are good :lol: . Suesue normally takes a day or so, Barry between 4-8 days . Quality seems on a par , although suesue's is German Sturm stuff.

although on barry site i normally take a large jacket i ordered an xl SS tunic because it was a pre-aged one and i suspect there is a little shrinkage.... so my sleeves are now a little long but its much more comfy for crawling throught the undergrowth
