Just realised an issue with trying to do realistic and especially historical loadouts.. you mihgt be able to buy something new but then you need to fade it and make it look used!
I say more so for historic as there was less gear issued so it was used more.. I say this because my Nutria combats are far too clean and unfaded (they're brand new) to be seen in the African bush in the 1980s
Yeah, they would have seen the intense african sun, sand, aswell as combat conditions, sweat, sometimes blood and being worn for days at a time maybe more. Hard for us to compete with our 7 hour skirmishes in a somewhat muddy fields lol.
I wear my underwear for seven days or more at a time, then its just a dip in a nearby puddle and a thorough airing in the garden. I'll sell a pair to you for £200? Genuine issue Tesco gear?
