Do you wear pieces of your collections?

My go to fleece is the Latvian coyote tan one. It's an actual quality PolarTec fleece, not an imitation made by the lowest bidder, like what I was issued in service.

I also have the Russian equivalent of the SnugPak jacket. Very warm, as well as windproof. Great water resistance as well. For dressier occasions in winter, I have a dark grey, patchless Bulgarian wool overcoat. Looks great with a suit or even khakis and a sweater.

Options 1, 2 and 3

Early Gen ECWS, made by RAVEN in USA


Israeli Dubon


Or, if things get really nipply, Soviet flight jacket. Super warm, cumbersome, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was resistant to small arms fire

That old leather could probably deflect low-velocity shrapnel, at the very least!

Never, My collection is sacred.

Otherway I have to say most Spanish guys where smaller than me from 1920 to 1980.

Last September 20th I was asked some Spanish Civil War and Africa campaign uniforms for a theater act in 4th Tercio of Spanish Legion, so some of them were worn many decades after their age, but those are exceptions.

I wear all mine at airsoft games, but I have more camo sets than the number of games I go to in a year.  I sometimes wear jackets to work in the winter. I bought an Italian San Marcos Comsubin, spray paint camo pants from Collectin Steve a few years ago. I wore it once to an airsoft game and massively split the crotch. Have not got around to sewing it yet.

I wear the German Flektar in winter and summer. I wear the parka with a thick commercial fleece hoody as a liner on woodland hikes in winter and the Flektar shirt, pants, and fatigue hat in summer on woodland hikes. I also have the older Canadian O.D. parka with heavy winter issue pants I'll wear on occasion.
