Hi there, I got the tunic and breeches tailored in China via ebay user King_Hun (About $130 including postage for my measurement specs.), I don't think that user is currently offering items under that name but He may well be under another name and still active. The Tunic is a perfect fit and cut although I did spend about 3 months work on it sewing on buttons (For some reasons the chinese don't know how to sew buttons on in my experience), plucking stray white thread from the fabric (which glows under ultra-violet light) and just generally cleaning the finish. The only real problem was the smell... The items had a very strong strange smell which took about 9 months to disperse (I sprayed it with a few things and put it in a strong smelling environment) this smell however sometimes is apparent when the tunic is rained upon. The shoulder boards are East German ones (Which are exactly the same) and all other insignia except the BFC collar tab is from www.soldat.com (Which can also provide a BFC Collar tab) The BFC Officer's collar tab I got on ebay before I bought the tunic or anything else and the source of those is unknown although everyone who knows anything about original and reproduction BFC insignia has been informed - noone knows who made them. They are accurate is all I know. Long story short is - No matter what you buy you will have to put lots of work to it yourself and don't be scared to buy Chinese!
