    William Lennon Ammo Boot Sizing

    I'm looking at some William Lennon Ammo Boots but I'm unfamiliar with both UK sizing and the Ammo Boot itself. I'm a US 8, which converts to a UK 7.5, but my only sizing options are UK 7 or UK 8.

    How much does that 0.5 difference matter? Should I go by the "rule of thumb" of UK sizing being one smaller than US, or should I go one size larger? When it comes to shoes in general, I tend to have issues with toe tip/nail pain when shoes are slightly small, and chafing when shoes are slightly large, so I'm a bit lost when I can't physically try them on.

    Blanco *idk what 2 put tbh*

    Hello all, I have been looking round at some british army ww2 groups but all so far require me to blanco my webbing which I am not to comfortable doing due to my webbing kit being original and I would prefer to keep it in the original khaki coloruing. Does anyone know of any groups that allows this? (preferably a group that portrays a regiment that saw combat but Home Guard works aswell) Thanks.

    Would this be correct for WW1 (1916-1918) British Reenactments?

    Hi all I’m just learning about British stuff from ww1. I am not going to be joining any groups yet because I do WW1 German and Civil war already (too much money) I might do it in the future just wanted to ask trying to make a list so I know what to get if I decide to do it later on

    Has anyone bought the Kelley's militaria repro M40 Stahlhelm? I just bought one, but I can't find any reviews. (It was recommended by another reenactor) I would've bought an ATF but they are sold out currently.

    Does anyone know good ways to get the scabbard into the frog properly? It seems no matter what I do the leather is too stiff, brute force will crack the leather. Thanks guys.
