Why go to all the hassle?

You could easily buy a black, waterproof parka from a decent designer, so why put yourself through all that hassle?

I mean, sure if you like that specific design of parka, but prefer it waterproofed and in another specific colour then it's totally up to you, I'm just confused.

fleck looks p good dyed, never seen it waxed tho.

Next time put this kinda stuff in fuccboi general

It's gonna look real poverty. The parka was already cheap looking and then you're doing some ghetto dye job.

>hassle
It's easy as fuck and fun to do
Milsurplus is also ridiculously good quality for laughably low price.

Fucking retard....

>I'm just confused
I believe you.

>>9291130
Is it acceptable to wear these in Germany?

>>9293136
no

>>9293136
yes if you do what op wants to do

anyone got any pics of said jacket dyed black? am interested//

>>9293208
try google

>>9293180
why wouldnt it be its just a military jacket people wear them everywhere

>>9293136
i don't think anyone would have a major problem with it, but i feel like if you're going to wear camo shit, it shouldn't be stuff from your own country.

>>9293136
You wouldnt have any problems wering this in Germany, as long as you the sun doesnt reflect off your shiny scalp. I suppose lifting your arm high enough to shield the sun would help.

>>9293136
If you're German you know better than the rest of us
If you're not German why do you care

>>9291130

try it and post how it turns out. doesnt hurt to experiment especially if it turns out unique and its one a kind.

>>9294893
I think he was assuming there are other germans alurnkin.
>there aren't

>>9291130

Saw a thread months ago with some guy doing it, and he actually posted some pretty good loking results.
Black fleck looks fucking good

>>9291130

I don't think waxing it is necessary. The newer issues are 80% cotton, 20% polyester and are rather water resistant, if not mildly waterproof.

>>9295245
i'm german :O

>>9293136
ja, tragen doch schon viele

>>9293121
Fair enough, if the price is good already and the process is easy then I don't see why not. Thanks for not insulting me like this dickhead here who contributed absolutely nothing to the thread and didn't even attempt to answer my question >>9293133
Maybe if you explained the significance of military surplus and it's quality while being cheap then you wouldn't look like a complete dick?

>>9293121
>Milsurplus is also ridiculously good quality for laughably low price.

and ridiculously bad fit

milsurplus is made for the short, fat, average joe. it's trash if you have a nice body.

here's my flecktarn in black

>>9295826
It's a parka, bro. It's not meant to fit good, it's meant to go over your jacket. If you bought a parka that fits 'right', you missed the point of a parka

>>9295869
nice, w2c dye ?

>>9295869

ya which did you use? thinking about using dylon instead of rit because i heard it will work better.

>>9295826
>milsurp fits like shit!
sure it does, since you basically wear it over shit like flak jackets, armor, liners and other layers of clothing, eat a dick

>>9293208

>>9295826
Nah
Just buy shit that actually fits you nice, usually takes some searching and you lot of time also have to size down from the 'official' measurements and sacrifice some of the functionality of movement for better looking fit.
And lot of the stuff looks pretty good bit baggy imo

>>9295869
if theres no trace of the flecktarn pattern whats the point when you can just buy a black military parka that will look pretty much the same

>>9297379
Surplus
It's cheaper than better quality than that asos garbage you posted.
You can get the parka, dye and the wax for like 35 bucks total and it's going to last you a lifetime unlike that.
Some also like how the pattern is slightly visible still under the dye.

>>9297390
dont give me the surplus talk i actually own a flecktarn parka and the pattern is the best thing about the jacket that separates it from other military jackets from other countries.
if its not visible its fucking pointless buying one you could dye any surplus jacket and get the same all black effect. that would look just like the asos shit i posted.

>>9297511
IT'S BETTER QUALITY
How fucking hard is that to understand?
And cheap as all fuck, feel free to point me at black BW parka that is cheaper, hell feel free to point me ANY surplus parka that is black by standard and available cheap.
Protip: The parka also has coloring that does not have the flecktarn pattern, pic related the same parka in faded olive green

>>9297541
nigga did you even read i said.
french surplus is the same quality as german or any other countries my point is why does it have to be a german parka with a flecktarn pattern if all you're going to do is dye it completely black so it looks just like that asos shit and loses all its character.
it could be any surplus military jacket so get off the german hype its all the same shit.

>>9297569
Because the BW parka looks nice
The fuck is your argument even? People shouldn't buy the BW parka? Why the fuck not?

Did mine the other day using this method posted by another anon:

>remove flags with seam ripper
>get big cooking pot
>heat stove to medium/low
>pour in enough water to cover parka
>add cup of salt, few drops of detergent, and two bottles of black RIT
>drop parka in pot, turn it every few minutes with tongs
>30 minutes later take it to the sink [I did it for 45 mins to try and get a darker black]
>rinse with hot water, gradually turning to cold water as the runoff becomes clear
>when its all clear, wash and dry it
>You can still see the camo pattern on mine, so if you want an overdye that covers it, go for at least 3 bottles. maybe 4

>>9295869
Someone HAS to explain how to do this, that's cool as fuck

>>9297743
Do this:>>9297719
Or buy machine wash dye (Dylon is pretty common I think) and use it as per instructions that come with it.
It's easy as fuck

>>9295869
Thats pretty dope
Too bad Urban outfitters already bought all German flecktarns and are selling them at double the price

>>9297743
This.
>>9297747
Buy Dylon. Use it. I did it on mine and it's easy as fuck. Impossible to mess up.
On mine the pattern is visible in direct sun, otherwise it's pretty much black.

>>9297797
There are plenty on ebay.

>>9297808
Fug I'm tempted to do this
After buying another parka ofcourse.

In what years were these parkas, particularly worn by effay actually issued?

>>9297829
the 90s, I think

>>9297797
oh too bad they are downsizing the bundeswehr and drafting ended 2 years ago.

they should have at least 200.000 spare parkas

>>9293136
of course. i do it all the time and people are murrin 24/7 some even thinkl im ex miletary. but germans still have a guilt complex about WWII so dont listen to them. im russian born so i dont have any issues with this jcket. its dope as fuck

>>9297719
what size is that and how tall are you?

>>9300063
5'9
175-185

>>9295826
Bullshit.
You just don't buy the right sizes.
German milsurp has a very wide range of sizing, it's different than civilian sizing, but if you pick the right size, it's perfect.

tl;dr -You need a minimum of 80 IQ points to understand how to choose milsurp sizes-

>>9297569

First of all: >>9297677 this

Second of all, French milsurp (or other) is not as widely available as German milsurp.
(French guy speaking).
I have both French and German milsurp, and German is often cheaper and/or more widely available in a broad range of sizes.

>>9301570
when will they ever learn ?

>>9302181
from my experience its all british and german milsurp the point was that you could use any milsurp jacket if you're just going to dye it

>>9302198
Enjoy your back problems at 38 you bully

>>9302204
>you could use any milsurp jacket if you're just going to dye it
But that's fucking wrong
Pretty much every milsurplus jacket has very different cuts and the BW happens to look fairly 'normal' and nice parka.
Not to mention a LOT of milsurplus parkas are nylon/cotton or polyester/cotton blend which will mean dying it at home will not be an easy task and as simple as it is with BW parka. I get your point, you like the flecktarn camo but then even the 'official' BW parka comes in other colors as well.

>>9297719
could you show a close up of the camo pattern?
