From time to time I get emails from manufacturers, usually deleted since I'm not an importer/retailer. But it is interesting to see all the bits and bobs so I'll post them here when I have the presence of mind.

Don't contact them unless you are a retailer (in which case you will know who they are anyway) and no point slagging them off here with expert knowledge, as that is neither here nor there. For curiosity only!

I particularly like their rather unique interpretation of the 'WW2 German Nazi Swastika T-shirt'.

I've always thought the people who bought that sort of stuff were a bunch of tits.

Another manufacturing outfit: http://www.warreplica.com/
Their email was in poor English and they didn't say what country they were from, worse, the website gives no contact information at all. :waggle: but their website server is in the USA. The email is signed 'Shashwat' so I presume this is actually an Indian company.

Problem with a lot of the sites in Pakistan is what you see on the Web site is not necessarily what you will receive in the post. Ended up with quiet a few items that weren't even good enough for fancy dress.
Was always amused by the products some companies had to offer. Bagpipes, drums and brass instruments , oh and German uniforms and insignia. Must have been a hell of a brainstorming session around a table for that one.
