Don't Buy Cheap Reproduction Gear!!

A lot of new reenactors tend to buy cheap reproduction gear because of the low price, but they are just a waste of money in the long run. Don't be that guy, which I was.
Hope this video helps a lot of newer guys out there.

I did the same error whit the carticage belt...my first belt was a farby cheap repro and The same for my canteen cover. Thank for the video!

[@cctproductions6976]

My first belt and first wwii item was the at the front jqmd belt

[@TheRealJoltguy]

I honestly only have original field gear but Chinese repro m41 and m37 aren’t bad

[@starlord1177]

I just got original ww2 m1 belt , very good piece , can’t wait for it (got it for 64$)

[@jackr4009]

For wool enlisted trousers, would you recommend either OD or mustard colour trousers? I’m getting a original 🙂

[@wyatt7051]

Mustard makes a good impression for a European campaign 1944. OD green makes a good pacific impression.

DO NOT BUY CHEAP REENACTMENT GEAR. A buddy of mine bought cheap reenactment gear when he was getting into the hobby. I helped him buy some original gear later, because original items would not find in his repro grommets. Save your money and spend it on quality.

In your WW2 usmc impression was that repo pack good quality

[@worldwarguy459]

No, I have a new USMC impression, that I will post in the near future, it has better equipment.

[@TheRealJoltguy]

just got an cheap repro,( i needed a grand belt and was the only one i could find) and two of the eyelets already fell out

[@ray9729]

Im not so sure if the cartridge belt I have is that good but I got it for like $30-$35

[@worldwarguy459]

Ray Olguin it depends on the quality and accuracy of it.

[@ray9729]

@@worldwarguy459 what I'm trying to say is if you think a $30-$35 cartridge belt is good quality

[@thIDthIRreenactor]

World war guy are 58 dollar gaiters good quality

[@worldwarguy459]

rod garage everyday it doesn’t matter that price, it matters on the quality and accuracy. Something could be cheap but still really good. Telling me the price doesn’t tell me anything.

Why even make reproductions in the first place?

[@worldwarguy459]

Bigbear 7 so that we don’t ruin originals

[@patrickfrinker]

There are plenty if great reproductions. However, they are expensive so people keep buying the cheap shit
