    Hi Kerne These are great, I already have a set and they can be quite cheeky! Good luck with the sale. On another note do you have any of the new scout emblems? Regards Mike

    Good fjallraven 'trouser' alternatives

    I wear a variety of Helikon cargo trousers and shorts and can't fault them. Better quality than anything I was issued. Even use them over my Fjallravens. They can be proofed with the same Greenland wax if you need to and will hold knee pads too. In fact I'm sitting in a pair right now having...

    For Sale Natural Leather Wax

    Used it to renovate a couple of vintage leather collar boxes (see Wayland's ditty bag!). Used SWMBO hairdryer to help it soak in and even the tatty straps have recovered, saves me having to make new ones! Now I just have to make the ditty bag for the two to stack in :cool:

    Yet more fabulous customer service

    I can't believe the service from Go Outdoors! I bought an inflatable shelter in early March 2018, used it for Scout School 2019 and carefully packed away. Got out for Scout School March 2020 and it has sprung a leak, no problem I thought just get the bladder out and repair or replace it. Not...

    Military Mart Customer service

    Sounds like it was issued then, I agree, give them a call.

    Military Mart Customer service

    They are a reasonable thickness and could be worn on their own in summer and with a base layer or mid layers in the winter, Paul Kirtley swears by them. Size-wise, I am a 48" chest and a size 41 fits, albeit it can be slightly tight below my chest but not uncomfortably so. The brand new ones...

    Got to be done I'm afraid need to ease the pressure on my arthritis, unless anyone has a surefire cure!

    More good customer service, I seem to be on a roll!

    Anyone bought from Bushcraft Outfitters from US recently? I ordered two items for $12 which were duly dispatched and arrived free of postage! It seems their website charging system was faulty, since fixed. I ordered four more items $12 in all but was staggered by the $54 postage...

    Military Mart Customer service

    I agree, ideally I need a 43 but found I could get into size 41 when they are new, just need to cool wash to make sure they don't shrink. Obviously I could lose weight instead! :cool:

    Quick update: three brand new still in packaging shirts arrived on Friday. Astounding service, I'm definitely going to use them again when the need arrives.

    Military Mart Customer service

    I purchased three "unissued" Swedish M59 shirts from Military Mart last week. On arrival I opened them and was disappointed with two as they were obviously not "unissued" with a repair on one and small paint splodges on another, the third was fine. I emailed customer support and they were...

    Withdrawn BSA lightning rig

    I have the tactical version of this and they are very good for a springer. Can't fault mine for accuracy or power. Good luck with the sale!
