Reenacting is all about the details, and my old gloves weren’t cutting it

“Hey guys look at these cool new gloves! They costed a little extra because They got integrated thu-“

looks at everyone else’s gloves

“WHAT THE FU-“

Now walk around wearing squibs all over your body.

I have a question: do reenactors wear ear protection and did they in ww2? Fell free to answer in the comments

Can I just say something off topic my great great grandfather was the engineer of general Montgomerys aircraft in Africa

How much do you get paid to be a reenactor

I have a question how do reenactors pretend to get stabbed? Do they use like those retracting knives?

God, you are just absolute Chadicus.

I'm starting my Vietnam and ww2 replica gun collection

i have a question are there ww1 reenactments? and have you attended one if there is one?

Make a « Operation Cottage » loadout

Of my word yes I had the same problem with my fallschirmjäger gloves they wear them different and often only during jumps 😢

My guy is gorgeous

This might be wrong since I got out in 2007, but the Canadian military used to issue gloves that look identical to the reproduction ones, I think it was part of the cold weather kit. I still have mine somewhere buried in a storage bin. Might be worth looking at some Canadian army surplus stores, if they have them they're probably less expensive than the reproductions.

Do you use real helmets?

what’s is the best way to get into reenactments??

US reenactment guys are ALWAYS fuckin losers lmao

We don’t get a discount from your sponsor?

Dude it's lame as hell to do that. Lol you basically a bunch of grown men who wanna relive something that you never came close to actually being in

See what I would like abt it the most is I don’t actually die

Oof right in the wallet😂

There are some pictures of the 505th PIR in WW2 France wearing paratrooper gloves with a buckle on it. You weren't completely out of era. I believe the gloves with the buckles were issued in the late 1930's and the 1940 era ones did not have buckles, as you mentioned. But, it isn't outside of the realm of possiblity that US paratroopers couldn't get their hands on the late 1930's gloves during the 1940's.

How old do you have to be to reenact

One of my grandfather's was in the 82nd airborne and jumped into France

Seriously hope hollywood starts using this guy as a consultant.

Dude your gloves had buckles? Cringee lol jk

Dont smile on photos is so bad when you get surrendered

Just get bro drafted already 😭🙏

Travis Bickle haircut when?

Can I just say you're hot

bro thos are the exact gloves mickey mouse wears

Mega shill

How do you get into re enacting. It sounds like fun

Bro looks like he says pardon me after killing an enemy 😂

That thousand yard stare is perfect

Don’t be embarrassed bro, your teaching folk like me everyday 🫡🙏

Good News is:


You look Amazing in that fine Yellow Leather

That first photo of World War II was one of the filthy 13

125 dollars for those gloves honestly wouldn't really be worth that much.

My understanding is the gloves with the buckle is the M1938 Riding Glove for Cavalry and the glove with the buckle removed is the M1940 Riding Glove. My guess is the reason you see the M1940 used by Airborne troops, is it was probably available in greater quality since it was newer and the M1938 was only made for two years? I believe the Airborne also largely used the M1918 mounted cartridge belt. Go Cav!

wich begs the question, who did use those buckled gloves?

Reenactments sound awesome. But I'm broke and have no idea where to get the items

thats actually a good price considering I used to buy hand made real leather deer and cow leather gloves nothing special for $40-65

If I remember correctly, the wrong gloves were even featured in Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway.

Bros jawline can cut the crust of this blue trap bubble istg 🙏

Ya know learning a bit more about ww2 its like, okay why did that company have tocgo through 4000 photos just to see if there was a tual evidence of a "Glove" being worn.

Like there wasnt any surplus goin around?

BUT then i learn after the war we dumped tons of equipment into the ocean 😂

Hey! As a female interested in WW2 reenacting, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into a combat unit? I know American women weren't in combat roles, but I really think I could look the part, and no one would be able to tell. I understand about historical accuracy. I just thought I could ask. Thanks in advance!

I wish I had such level of dedication. Guys studied 4000 photos just to find out which particular type of gloves had been used

German para!
