One month later than planned, after 8.5hrs on the phone to FedEx, 70 plus emails and cc'ing in the UK&I MD of customer experience, having been lost once, in Customs three times, and stuck in Birmingham for nearly a month, it's here. Visvim completed.

Three other bits came in that time, including the Varsity, Dugout, this Black Elk, and another coming on Thursday.

Not the easiest to see because of the light but it is this piece.

Wow, you give me hope now. Been waiting on a package through fedex since late December. They just notified me they lost it in customs. Maybe it will still show up somehow smh

FYI they are making decent fakes of the wildflower tunic now. Cotton as the fabric is a dead giveaway. Should be wool/linen. Smells like ass as well.

Thanks for the heads up. I gotta check mine when I get home. Where’d that one come from?

What's the actual item look like? Curious if the actual item itself could pass from a visual check.

Finally managed to get hold of a Paratrooper in a 4. Some of you might remember I got scammed on a fake on yahoo JP (managed to get money back) Always wanted the Olive or black but got a decent price on a brand new beige in a 4 (finding a 4 in black or olive seems impossible). Was bit worried it was going to be too sandy in colour which really wouldn’t have wanted but photos make it look way lighter than in person. Very much a light olive in colour.

been looking for the olive or black in a size 3 for a minute as well so it’s good to hear the beige is on the green side. Now I just need to find one for a fair price.

I wonder if this is one of those instances where real tags were sewn onto a fake item

Nah the model number is actually correct to the tunic itself

AH okay I see now, it looks like they've gotten the red dashes on the size tag down now too

Yeah but the font used for the model number is actually wrong. Plus the 'w' in every word is more bolded than the rest of the letters. Common problem I've seen with fakes.
