Thankyou for the heads up yith. I will get the beret off soldier of fortune then (I am guessing it is the one called WW2 Airborne Beret...in red)
It's called "WW2 Airborne Beret", is code "BE565" and has description "WW2 pattern airborne beret with large crown, leather band and 2 metal air vents on the side. "
Could someone tell me what size size 7 is(for the beret)? I have a 22inch head and want to know if it will fit.
To get a size, take the circumference of your head in inches.. (I assume thats what the 22" is...) then divide by Pi...(3.14159) to get the diameter... that's your imperial hat size...
So for you imperial size 7 is what you want or 56cm (actually the circumference) in metric
BTW,they are a bit adjustable with some ties at the back..
Once again thanks yith (I think I will have to go with replicators denison smock because I cannot afford it anywhere else)
dieselmonkey has a replicaters denison in the For Sale section... go and check it out before he puts it on ebay!
A set of denims: "British Army World War two (ww2,wwii) uniform Two-Piece Denim Overalls (jackets and Trousers):" would make more sense as they were worn by infantry in hot climates.
Brown for early war, grey green for late... or look out for real post-war ones being sold... on here and ebay... I picked up a jacket for £15 ish
Talk to dieselmonkey again, I understand he's had some good luck with these recently.
101 - if you want to save money forget the BD blouse and trousers (of any description).
The Denison will cover what you a wearing on top anyway and a pair of brown trousers from your army surplus store will do fine.
Beret, denison and period webbing will give you the iconic look and is more than sufficient. An original belt, straps and ammo pouches will cost not a lot. Job is done then.
yup, chommers is quite correct... 
hi my name is matt christianson
ive never been to a ww2 event as i have only been airsofting for a year ive wanted to though ever since ive jioned
this all seems very confusing i have bouth kit for a british trooper and a german ost battalion. please advise me on
what to do next.
thanks.
Hello Matt, and welcome. All you have to do is adhere to the basic kit and weapon standard - look under the Reference heading at the top of the page. A lot of the discussion on here is from those of us who want to take it further, and spend more time and effort (and money!) on kit - we do NOT require that new players have anything but the minimum kit, so don't feel you've got to go and spend 100s of pounds before you can play - you haven't!
If you do decide you want to get more kitwise, then have a look at the Kit guides - at the top of the page again. For anything you do want, it's always worth posting in the Wanted section, because people are buying and exchanging stuff on here all the time.
And feel free to start your own Introductory thread, and tell us about yourself. 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
thanks well ive wanted to do ww2 since i started really and well id be more than happy to buy the rest of some basic kit for american as i have an m65 jacket which looks the part and a set of dark green trousers if i brought some gaitors and webbing which i could almost deffinately afford do you recomend me attending the carrentan game?
As you say, what's the point in spending £50 or more on something that isn't accurate, when you have good repros for £99. The full-zip version was only worn by officers, if I recall correctly. Half-zip much more common.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
As stenier says, get the SoF half zip version. Unless you have mega bucks its not worth bothering elsewhere.
hello and welcome to you both. dont get hung up on gear, get to a game and have your mind blown first.
Welcome
