He even does custom work for a very reasonable price also.

Can't fault this seller

No idea on the clothes. But the boots are not a great repro... possibly Chinese army surplus... anyway there was a short discussion over at the red army re-enacting forums...

I have had some of his jap stuff and that was good.

I just got a complete M43 uniform from him, plus belt and various bits of webbing.

Decent stuff, lightning fast service (week and a half from China) anda good price.

I'd just be a bit cautious about those tunic sizes, 'M 42-44"', I don't think so, more like M 40-41, which is a good job as I'm nearer to 40 than 44. Breeches are fine though.

Cheers

Are you happy with the color of the uniform?
I was thinking to order a complete set myself but they appear much too light colored on his site? Or is it just the photos?

I got a pair of breeches from him and the colour is fine. pretty much the same as a post war pair I've got, but they do shrink a bit in the wash so take that into account when picking the size

They are a decent mid-khaki which looks fine and it matches my existing pilotka very well. I think some of the photos are a bit off, the grenade pouches look almost white in the pics but they are the same khaki colour as everything else in the flesh.

The items I ordered arrived yesterday and, they are pretty good, as far as I can tell. Decent quality materials and it all seems well made in a nice khaki colour. No complaints from me and I'd definitely buy from him again.

Aha... so now you have both uniform bits from koliya and hiki, which is best, if any?

I'd say that the Koliya stuff is better, both fit wise and quality wise.
