Do you think those pants would go well with an M65 jacket or an erbsenmuster WW2 jacket?
So before asking, yes I have those 2 jackets, and I figured I needed some pants for them, besides the black jeans that I have, wich goes very well, but still. Also, those wre military clothes, so it might be harder to find some of them. The jackets in the photos are the ones I was talking about, one is actually the one I own, and the M65 is from a photo (too lazy to take it out to photograph it)

Well, I would not want to wear Erbsenmuster WW2 jackets because thats a pattern primarily used by the Waffen SS during that time.
Though the jacket you posted is also not Erbsenmuster, but post WW2 Flecktarn
Oh, well thanks for the info. What about the pants, would thry work well with those jackets?
Also, sorry for my lack of knowledge, those german camos look similar to my untrained eye.
Well, hard to say how the shades match up, but generally being dressed up head to toe in milsurp will make you look like a LARPer and not in a fun way.
It is a coherent look, but not one I would go for personally.
I would learn the difference, bc if I saw someone running around in actual erbsenmuster i would punch first and ask questions later.
In general I’d shy away from any wwii era German clothes
Stick to m65 but you also don’t need to pair milsurp with milsurp
Yeah, plenty of factories used concentration camp inmates for forced labour.
And also the like, everyone will assume you’re a Nazi
So if you’re not a Nazi you’ve got no reason to be wearing wwii era German milsurp
Like if you thought it was German wwii camo why wasn’t that disqualifying man
Well, not all german 40s clothing will look like nazi stuff, but even the stuff not looking like nazi stuff might be slave labour stuff.
Ohhhh gotcha gotcha yep for sure
Homie, I actively do combat training and even I don’t do double milsurp or milspec. Just wear these things separately.
And fwiw, I’ll echo the “learn the difference between the camos” comment from @Yakkeks / Leo . Some folks may not be nice enough to punch first. I’ve used targets at the range that are wearing Nazi uniforms. It’s not something to take lightly, and if you’re gonna wear milsurp you better learn the history of what you’re wearing.
I’d advise you to go out of your way to not look like a nazi
Unless you ARE a Nazi in which case, please let me know
Lmao, this backfired.
I am not a nazi
For your knowledge
Also, that jacket was a gift from someone rrally important
And imo it look really cool
Also, I got the answear to my question
Don't double on military clothes
Like pants woth jackets and etc etc
Also, if you worry for my safety, don't worry I kive in Romania
So even if someone assumes I am a nazi
They won't do shit
I mean, I could be wearing a british uniform and prople wouldn't know
Can I ask something
Why is it bad to wear 2 military clothes in the same outfit
I mean, reenacting is a thing, and actually, I want to get into it.
looks corny
Fair enough
So I fon't rrally have a reason to buy those pants I guess
I have no idea how to style them
Or with what
I want some cargo pants, but idk what to wear them with
Eh just try shit
Something like this would work?
Eventually with a black t shirt
I mean probably you’d have to try it my brain isn’t thaaat good at visualization
Don’t wear olive pants with an olive over shirt it’ll look dumb and bad
pretty sure nazi wear trumps the importance of the gift lol
donate that shit to a museum or burn it if its real
It’s flecktarn at least
And has a normal German flag
While i agree with the not doubling up rule i do think there are rare exceptions where it can work but it requires you to alter it enough to not appear as a uniform
For example this is an og-107 top and bottom but the top is cropped and sleeves cut. I think it inly works because the garments are altered enough to not appear as a uniform and i have paired it with enough non military items for it to not stray into cosplay
