Had mine a while and can't call the quality of them rubbish. Unless the standard of the new ones has taken a nose dive
What about the new UK army ones in the new MTP camouflage? They are starting to appear on the bay and I find the pattern very subtle and less army looking than DPCU or DPM.

I always thought the the British and the Aussie basha/hootchie was the same, in size, material and attachment placements. Just that one has jellybeans on. Isn't that the case?
I've always wanted one because Les Hiddins used one (obviously), but I try to resist wants in place of needs.
I have the new MTP UK basha, it's a very slight factory second (not stolen!) as the seam stitching isn't straight and it's a great pience of kit. Leaps and bounds better than the old design. Well recommended.
From a friend who deals in stock like that, slight seconds, overstocks, returned gear, all that. He does everything from mil surplus to kitchen cabinets and even car spares once.
As I say, mine is a slight second, but that was because it has just over a cm of stitching that wasn't straight, it was banana shaped off track then came back to a striaght line again. You can draw your own conclusions whether that would bother you
If you want, I can ask when i see him next if he still has any.

OK so not sure if it's exactly the same manufacturer, but Endicotts were selling them earlier this year for about £55. TBH I would have thought that Woodlore would have been able to secure a better wholesale price than the same retail price as any of us from AUS....just smacks a little of profiteering. However, in response to an earlier post re quality versus Woodlore's, I have 2 of the bashas from Kitbag and they are top quality items. Better than DD in my opinion and they come with quality fittings and stitching...so don't know where yours came from but I don't think it came from Kitbag.

The same people that are linked to here. So yes they are from Kitbag. They are not rubbish, that was a dig at my other halfs ability to keep the good stuff for himself and give me his cast offs. They are not the same quality as the Woodlore one though, and even I can tell the difference between the two and I know nothing about stuff like this.
I always thought that profiteering was selling goods that people couldn't do without at an exorbitantly inflated price when they had no other choice of vendor..Clearly folk can do without pretty much all of the stuff Woodlore sell and you have a myriad of choices of both kit and alternative vendors...So it's pointless giving Woodlore a hard time.
I bought one from kitbag about 4 months ago and they seem very robust as well as being very light.
It does differ slightly from the Woodlore one, the colour of the camo pattern seems to be a bit more bright and vibrant than the woodlore one, but at almost a third of the price i dont really care.
