Do like the look of the wool jackets and trousers ,,,

Here's them in the latest fashion colour, supposedly dark navy blue.

In the photo they look almost black ?

Still wool ?

In cloudy weather and inside they do look like they're black, but in reality they're very, very dark blue.

Still wool ?

They're 85 % wool and 15 % polyester.

Saw some Lynxes covered in the morning frost... I left before they were auctioned, but I am sure they fetched good prices, being Finnish products after all.

Any more pics Martti?

Oh, just to say, I've been wearing the boots for three days, very comfy with no hotspots. They are a little heavier than the boots I usually wear, but wont take long to get used to. Today, wearing lightweight meindls I'm walking like John Carter on Mars

That's a hefty head for such a small haft.

Went to varusteleka yesterday. Was a bit of a disappointment.
A good bit of modern international military clothes, a lot of mil-tec and similar junk and a handful of smaller, mainly former eastern block "junk". Hardly any kind of that really solid surplus I'd like to see. Some knives and some cool museum-like displays.
Maybe I expected more, because of their website.... Went out empty handed... me!
