I got the same email. Those greatcoats look ripe for modification too. What is their customer service like these days? I haven't ordered from them for a couple of years but there were some right old nightmare stories posted on here about them.

Aye, just received the very same too.
Looks a good deal, plus some other nice bargains on there too.

Ooohhhh, nearly at 100 posts.

I ordered a few bits from them last month, they arrived in a day or two, so no complaints.

Have ordered one, so I'll post when it arrives.

Does the army cardi come with combat slippers?

Ok Ok, Its a blatant excusse to get my 100th post.

I have used them before, bought SWMBO an M65 for her birthday.. hey thats what she asked for dont blame me.

It took a while to arrive, but when I chased it they explained they had been flooded, so they were sending a brand new one, took a bit longer than expected, but arrived nice and new.
The main thing was we had a problem but they handled it well and resolved it, that is what makes good customer service.

No links etc etc just satisfied client.


WOOHOO 100 posts.

Hehehe! It's a classic isn't it. I want a Swedish velvet combat smoking jacket now, and a DPM cravat.

Ah, will you be needing the Special Forces Tactical Rocking Chair with that Sir?

 

[andy_e]

Why, what a splendid idea, does it fold up into one of these for portage?

I've ordered loads from them over the last year and I can't fault them.

A+ from me!

I was really after one with an armoured Horlicks mug...

 

[MikeE]

Got two of these and they are very warm, sad badger that I am!
Quite versatile with thumb loops and all

Only available in reinforced para-aramide in m90:

Not direct impact proof, only shrapnel..

Woohoo! My Swedish combat cardi arrived today, the large is quite a snug fit, though the arms are very long. The arms also have thumb holes which I like, and it's a nice chunky rib knit. The only other thing to mention is that the body length is quite short, I'm 6'1 and it's only waist length, just covering my belt line.

Now, anyone got some Swedish M90 camo fleece so I can make a Swedish combat dressing gown?

...... The arms also have thumb holes which I like.....

.

I now have an image of the jumper in one of Billy Connelly's stories. The jumper with mittens sewn in...


Cheers, Nag.

I bought mine a couple of years ago and its the same even though I asked for large.
But the one on the website looks longer ?? tried to stretch it but no joy.
If it was longer it would be great.
