Lets continue the questions here

[sad man No.11962163]

Has anyone had experience using the dylon dye. Can you only use it in the washing machine or can it be used with just boiling water and a bucket?

Those who have dyed theirs, did you use soda ash beforehand? I was going to order some Dylon but all the reviews recommend using soda ash beforehand.

No. It is just currently the smallest size we have in stock. I have more parkas arriving in time for black Friday. There will be smaller sizes then.

I got a batch of flecktarn parkas from a different wholesaler a month ago, and out of the 100 parkas there were ONLY FOUR SIZES [Screams externally]

Never making that mistake again. Now I grill the shit of out wholesalers on their size distribution.

Heh, I would love to recommend some things, but I am a bit paranoid about getting banned for advertising. (Makes talking on /k/ really hard these days) Any POLIZEI items are pretty /fa/, im getting a ton more for black friday. Just click on the /MILITARY SURPLUS/ category and scroll.

Also, I have been lurking the boots threads. I'm currently sourcing Black Austrian paratrooper boots and German Bundeswehr "pilotenstiefel" (the pilot boots with two laces and a zipper on each boot) i'm sure /fa/ will appreciate some of that.

Depends what best looking means to you.

There are two material versions. SympaTex (German GoreTex), and the standard cotton/poly.

The cotton poly ones come in two versions pre-2005 and post 2005. The change in colors in the pattern is really down to personal preference. there are photos of both colors on the page.

This photo has pre on left post on right.

Wait, have you guys been dying the pre-2005 or the post? Cuz I bought the pre and which do you think would dye better.

[Warehouse Ivan from N.E./Komma(...) No.11962392]

>>11962361
If you are going for the 90% black look. (Black with pattern shape and color barely visible) The differences should be marginal. There are a lot of photos of these parkas dyed black, and I'd guess that 75% if not more of flecktarn parka surplus out there is pre-2005. So I think regardless of the version it will be about the same.

I'd imagine the only difference would be a slightly higher sensitivity to the black dye for the post-2005, because there is less color vibrance, and less contrast.

[Angry E-mail No.11962820]

Just got off work. The jacket was already dry by the time I got back. It is a dark royal blue with its pattern visible. It is not so blue that it messes with a black fit imo. Will mull over the color as I try it out with different things. If I do go for another round of dye I will also post results.

Wanted to take a quick pic with fit. nothing fancy just a t. pants, and boots. Will take more in future if it's good.

Retoasting from last bread:

>I used Dylon black in the largest packet available on Amazon.
>I followed the instructions to dump the packet and 500g of salt into the washer bin with the damp parka.
>I actually didn't have enough salt so at most I had 400g salt of 300g at worst.
>Put the washer on delicates and warm (40 degrees celsius).
>Did second wash with detergent as instructed.

Mine just arrived today. I am super stoked as it fits me perfectly.

I got GR12. I am 6'1~6'2 (188cm), and 185lb (84kg) slim build but broader shoulder for an average slim build.

I ordered it from here as it shipped to Canada in only 3 days!

Any tips on removing the flags? I've read that they're pretty difficult to remove and the parka could easily be damaged and that is the last thing I want.

I am now waiting on dylon dyes to arrive so that I can dye them black.

I will try to post fits tomorrow or something.

I got a lot more compliments on my Flecktarn before I dyed it black. I wore it undyed last winter and probably got like 6 compliments on it over the course of a month. Since I dyed it no one has commented on it at all and I've been wearing it a lot since it started cooling down here.

I like it a lot better black, the flecktarn felt goofy with the way I usually dress. I guess being black just makes it stand out a lot less (kind of ironic).

These are people with weak google skills, poor reading comprehension and no grasp of measurements. Bundeswehr sizing is the most detailed there is, yet supereasy to find your perfect fit (giving that you know the fact milsurp is usually huuuge becaus it's meant to be worn in combat/over uniform).

It will just fit looser in the chest. Chest size on clothing doesn't effect how long the arms or the jacket over all are. If you layer under the jacket then the 3 inches extra chest wont make a difference.

Was thinking of copping Danner Tachyon Gore-Tex boots. Think it would go well with a tighter fit?

>>11964352
When you get the little Dylon packet, it actually comes with instructions on every meathod you can use to dye, including bucket.

I know washer method may seem scary, but it's safe. Used the washer on my whites today and not even a bit of dye got on them.

Just follow the instruction, and then when you're done run it empty with bleach and detergent. I also put on some rubber gloves and used a bleach soaked rag to clean the inner rubber ring on my washer.

If you have pets, be prepared to find dyed wads of pet hair though :^(

Wore my dyed parka today, was nice and all but I'm not used to wearing long parkas so I felt a bit awkward. Also I don't know what to do with the cord stopper yet.
For the dyeing, I did it like this:
>if the parka is dirty, wash it normally once
>put the dry parka into a bucket of water so it get's a bit wet
>put 350g Dylon in the washing machine (the package I used didn't need salt or anything else)
>put the parka on top
>washed it on 30°C
>wash it again with detergent on 30°C, I also put in some black clothes because why not
>ran the washing machine empty with a cleaner and cleaned the rubber afterwards
That's how I did it, there are other ways tho.
Pic has good quality and is a bit brighter than it actually looks. The flecktarn is also more visible in brighter light. >>11962320 is pretty accurate.

Old pic, but here's how mine turned out after dying.

I used two boxes of "Dylon velvet black" in one wash.
http://www.dylon.co.uk/products/dyes/fabric-dye-for-machine-use/velvet-black-2/#.WC9EqObhC9I

I knew I'd never get a full blackout since the parka isn't 100% cotton, but still I was expecting a little darker.
Right after I thought of dying again with some other method, but the camo pattern shining through really grew on me and I'm happy with the result now despite being a bit disappointed at first.

I did some research and found that the model I have probaly is from 1993 or earlier since it has brass buttons and cigarette pocket on the right sleeve and not the left. (It did come with german flags on the shoulders but I removed them).

Since the parka is pretty thin and meant to be worn over warmer layers, I just went for the smallest size I could find on ebay and got a size 3 (165 - 175 cm, chest 100 cm).
I'm 177 cm and weigh 64 kg and have lots of room in the chest and waist area. Sleeve length will probably be too short if you're any taller than me, or have orangutang arms.

As long as you're not /fa/t you should just go for the smallest chest size with the right length.

Cheers friends, hope someone finds this post useful.

that's unfortunate man, but can probably be fixed if you dye again with some other product
all "black" dye/paint are essentially just a really really dark green/blue/brown or whatever the manufacturer find to be the best and I guess the polyester helps it shine through

I'm no expert, but some synthetic fabrics can be dyed and others not so better google that shit.

So I finally got a chance to dye it yesterday. I am not exactly sure if I am happy or not happy about how it turned out. I definitely expected it to be darker.

I used 4 Rit Powder Dyes (32g each pack) in a single cycle, no salt, or anything. Maybe I should have divided them into two batches.

I think this is at least good enough for now for me to wear them around while the Dylon dyes are being delivered (estimated to arrive on first week of Dec.)

The liquid is more concentrated than the powder. The strength of the dye is dependent on the amount of water used. Water should be at the maximum your garment can handle. Definitely use salt. It's too late for you but when I yell at new comers to read the thread they'll hopefully see this.

If you've got a Hobby Lobby near they've got Dylon 50 grams for less than Amazon and there's a 40% off single item coupon on their website. Good luck, lil nigga.

Hey anon, I unfortunately live up north in Canadaland and there is pretty much no Dylon Dyes where I live :'(

I did find some Jacquard Dyes. Should I give these a try?

[Anonymous No.11971850]

>>11971844
If you have somewhere that supplies Jacquard then find their Procion MX line. You'll need to source your own soda ash but it's a very very good dye. I'd prefer it to Dylon if I could walk into a store and buy it. Be sure to look up instructions and read them twice before starting.

Seen a 1997 parka plus liner in size 7 at my local militaria shop for just 40 eur, felt nicely warm.
I'm 180cm/5'11, would that be my size?
Is 1997 too old to hold up for the next 3 to 4 years?

[Anonymous No.11972527]

>>11972525
depends on your chest size, if your +36 inch go for it

[Anonymous No.11972557]

>>11972527
thanks, I'm around 36"22 (92cm). Apparently there's two flavors of the BW parka, the army version (Heer) and the navy version (Marine). I can't tell which is which, but it's interesting to know, I suppose.

In all seriousness though, browsing milsurp feels like a specialized way of thrifting.

[Anonymous No.11972568]

had another look, this is what a german site says:

46 | S | BW size: 6 | height: 175 - 185 cm | chest: 90 cm
48 | M | BW size: 7 | height: 175 - 185 cm | chest: 95 cm

Remove it and sew it back on after dying. Ask a tailor for help.

Says Wüstentarn on the retailer site, but I understand that dying lighter shades is not worth it.

I am back, thank you once again to the anon for the suggestion!

This time I followed the instruction 100% using > 4 x Jacquard Procion MX Dye - Jet Black
> 1lb x Jacquard Soda Ash
> 8 cups x Pickled Salt
All in a single cycle while extending the wash cycle to about an hour before the rinse.
The picture is kind of shit but pattern is completely invisible and the parka is as black as I could have asked for!

[Angry E-mail No.11973774]

>>11973765
There is no current guide.

You're gonna have to read the thread or take a leap and commit to a dye and just go for it.

Most dyes will come with instructions, and as long as you have a proper dye to fabric weight ratio you will be fine.

Just don't act like a school shooter. I wear undyed flecktarn with combat boots and still get compliments. Some of it might have to do with me being Asian, though.

I kinda want to up mine with some patches.

How many are possible without it looking excessive? Also, where? Arms, where the flags were, obviously, shoulders maybe, nametag and pockets? I´m just not sure what can work.

[sad man No.11974526]

>>11974441
I'd say more than like 4 is too much. The German flag patches it comes with are enough I think but if you don't like them then I think one on the front and one on a shoulder would look nice.

[Anonymous No.11974650]

>>11974441
The way I've got mine is two on each upper arm/shoulder area. Then again, I came here from /k/ so I've got no clue if that looks nice to you. I just wear it to go airsofting and biking.

[Anonymous No.11974671]

>>11974650
i hope you mean motorcycling, that parka length must be hell on your back wheel. Either way, upper arm is definitely a place to put a patch, patch on one side would look pretty sick. also one on the breast pocket would be good too, I think there's a velcro strip there. Sew it on, it will always stick.

Can´t tell anybody that I don´t want to climb the social ladder without people looking at me like a freak.
That whole mentality is pissing me off way too much to wear our flag on my shoulder.

Also, I´m tall, blonde, blue eyed...I´ve been called a Nazi while I was dating a jewish girl, I was called a Nazi while I was dating a syrian/polish girl. I´ll be called a Nazi no matter what I do.
