Lets see pictures and we need to know the retailer.

I am very interested as I am looking for a decent EM shirt myself!

pea green, well thats not correct, mine is from SOF, but I got it from Ebay and is the correct shade of mustard.

The colour in that pic looks right.

We need a pic of yours in natural daylight. Artificial lights will probably tend to colour it greener.

BTW, from what I could see at stoneleigh SOF ones weren't even wool...

Why PM the vendor? There's no need to hide anything on this forum. If you feel the stuff you've been sold isn't right, it's good for others to know about it.

ALl the original WW 2US shirts i have are of quite a thin material-the only thick ones are the Korean era ones.

Pea green :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: -never seen one that colour

I have this pic off their website. On my monitor it looks kinda olive drab colour but I realise you can't rely on photo's for exact colouring. I will get a pic of mine later on after work.

The shirt its self is quite thick wool but feels quite good quality, I know some repro's are quite thin material so I'm not faulting the actual shirt just the colour.

I will PM you the vendor Yith.

I know its only a pic and impossible to judge from that but looking at the seams around the pockets the material looks WAY too thick compared to the originals i have.

Where did it come from?

MPP actually advised me to cold water wash it a couple of times to get it to feel/be just like the originals so maybe that makes the wool compact somehow??

To be honest not realy sure as the only repro shirts ive ever owned were SPR ones and while these were browner in colour they were spot on thickness wise.

What size chest are you?

If not massive then originals can be had on Ebay cheaper than repros-the beauty of being a skinny git i guess :lol: :lol:
