Sturm is a WW2 based off shoot of Mil-Tec a German based company who make all kinds of kit.
Mil-Tec is probably an offshoot of another larger company.
They make an ever changing range of reproduction clothing and field gear.
It's a mixed bag, some is very good, some is ok, some is rubbish. Most of it is reasonably priced and made in China.
They sometimes get it horribly wrong, like the field grey/green winter parkas that had the closure on the wrong side. Their splinter and oak parkas made at the same time were not affected.
Some times they improve the range, their jumpsmock made in BGS camo was replaced by the now rather good sumpf print they have but was spoilt by being given a stonewash.
The rather good US M41 jackets are now replaced by a not so good very green version.
Their German wools are not bad if you are 6 foot tall or there abouts.
