gadge, i found a pic on the net of two glider pilots at arnhem both wearing kilts.
Sorry Gadge ,misread it was your posting. Definately going with the kilt on this one , also looks like I've sourced a loan of the kit I was missing.A mate who's a collector has offered to lend me the appropriate gasmask and bag,1907 bayonet and frog and waterbottle holder.
I just saw this over at ASC UK... basically its a repro MkVII gas mask bag.

But with a daft logo on it..
But that may be hideable.
Its cool but cantyou get a real one for much less?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Yes you can. 
I just ordered me some early Frenchy style-ee webbing by beating some fool on ebay (trying to last minute bet me twenty seconds too soon good sir 
) .
That's phase one of my 1940 concoction procured, now onto a uniform. 
Plenty of leather French webbing on e-bay. A lot is Algerian stuff but still the same pattern.
Beware the long leather pouches are often 50s ones. They fit the mp40 mags a treat though.
If you find as site for tunics etc, do tell 
Cheers
I really and truly can not.
I have looked and looked but even the chaps who re-enact the French 1940 fellows do so in shirts and greatcoats (from what I can tell) and no militaria stuff has come up either. I don't know if there are secret words to type in to find more but I am just about out I think.
Do you have a load of reference pics?
Send them to Sanjay and get him to quote for a bespoke one - bet it comes in at less than £150 posted.
You stumped my friend on the French webbing 
This game had better be ace now! I've sold my Systema PTW to fund a loadout (or two!).

It will be, all CIA and WW2 games I have been to have been amazing.
I've got all of my kit for this now, with all of the correct RTR insignia sourced and attached to my battledress . Now all I need to do is get the time off work for the game!
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

No disrespect meant at all, just squaddie banter, like calling Green Jackets "falling plates", or Sherwood Foresters "men in tights". ANYONE who goes into battle wearing a kilt has my utmost respect!

go into battle in a kilt,,, pah, dead easy. go into the pub in one on a sat afternoon when all your mates are in...........
There's nothing better designed to put the Fear of God into your enemy than a man in kilt running across the battlefield at them !
