Hi guys

Hello and welcome, you don't need "all the kit" just make an effort and post up if you need anything to finish off your load out for a game. I have enough kit and guns to sort myself out as well as 2 others!

Epic militeria is a good stockist. Julian is very fast on his postage. Soldier of fortune or eBay. Boots wise it depends on how much you want to spend. I have a pair from epic and they have done me proud. My real corcorans I use for dress boots.. I.E never been worn for longer than a few hours
Helmets some times eBay come up with a few gems but again it's down to how much you want to spend. For airsoft you don't have to have it spot on.
Pistol holsters and pouch most vendors have them.
Let us know your requirements and we an point you in the right direction.

Hello and welcome,

As imp says, Epic is pretty good for stuff.

Cheers

Most of our guys use repro kit. Dutch boots are an option if you don't want to spend cash on jump boots. The best advice is buy enough to get you to a game. See how you feel about it afterwards. Have a look on the re enacting forums. You can pick up bargains. Scout out eBay as well. Good luck.

Don't get hung up on the boots, WW2 boots look the part but grip under foot like a wet fish.
Remember you have to go back in to work on Monday

The trick is to find something that looks the part and you are happy with. Few people with pick you up on what is on your feet within reason that is.

Many people come on here and buy loads of kit and then don't have the money to get to an event, it happens continuous.

As Oddball says, I really wouldn't sweat what boots to wear at first, just wear something comfortable and get along to events, because if people don't go to events there won't be any more events and all that kit becomes a bit pointless

If you are going to get repro boots, it is worth spending some money and getting decent ones, as, along with trousers, they are something which is going to get a lot of wear and tear. So save up for something decent, and in the meantime wear something else.

I spent a year wearing British Army Assault boots with WW2 kit, cheap, hardwearing and no-one pointed and laughed.
