[Anonymous No.6521889]

I'm in the market for a new outfit for airsoft games, and this caught my eye.
Having passed the wow phase, I'm now reluctant to toss myself into another project that'll end up looking ridiculous.

Can a dude pull off something like this without heading into fedora territory, or should I drop the idea and look for new inspiration?

[mamma död No.6521914]

I don't really understand the question. That exact outfit?

[Anonymous No.6521931]

>>6521914
Not exactly that, I understand the jacket is probably more fit for women. But something along those lines, yes.

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough, I've never posted on /fa/ before.

[darkness_and_light No.6521939]

Sure, I don't see why not. Hiking boots, olive cargo pants, military slide canvas belt, black t-shirt, and M65 field jacket.

[Anonymous No.6521942]

Military Surplus Jacket
Tight Fitting Dark Shirt (Underarmour or some sort of synthetic)
Camo Pants
Doc Martens/Clarks
Fingerless Gloves

It will look incredibly stupid as streetwear, but fairly functional for airsoft.

>>6521939
>>6521942
Thank you both, I'll note this down.
This is definitely not for streetwear, that much I can figure.

Regarding the jacket. How much of a stretch woult an M43 Field Jacket be, as an alternative? Looks comfy as fuck.

[Anonymous No.6521988]

>>6521965
don't get an M43 for spring/summer

only for fall/winter

for summer you want a brighter green

[darkness_and_light No.6521990]

>>6521965

Depends on the street. I've seen people wearing a military jacket, black shirt, jeans and Chucks and it looks okay. Only thing is that it can't be oversized or bulky which usually means a fashion jacket instead of surplus. Alternatively you can substitute a long sleeve shirt with epaulets and flap pockets. The Converse One Star line has alot of stuff like that, the American Rag line at Macy's too. The look tends to show up more in rural areas.

[Anonymous No.6522014]

A gorka jacket would be my choice.

[Anonymous No.6522018]

If you buy a legit surplus jacket, it's going to have a lot of volume and be big as fuck because they're designed to fit over body armor.

I have a Marquardt and Schultz field coat and an M65 that I wear pretty regularly with skinny jeans and jump boots and they look okay, but I'm tall as fuck. If you're shorter, you might want to look for a slimmer cut coat, like Alpha Industries' Weston.

For airsoft, you're going to want something that offers mobility, so no excessively tight shirts, or skinny pants. Go for cargos or BDUs.

The biggest difference between looking pretty fucking neat on the field or like a chump will be whether or not you find shit that fits you nicely with coordinated colors.

[Anonymous No.6522019]

>>6521988
If you're worrying about camoflage, don't. This is for indoor or urban games. I just want something that isn't T-Shirt+Jeans and facemask, or the usual Magpul Dynamics inspired outfits the people we play against wears.

I'm still searching, but I'm finding a lot of different M65 jackets that look promising. One with removable fleece padding looks really good, but costs nearly twice as much as those without, at about $150.

>>6521990
Like I said, this is definitely not streetwear. I do live in a rural area though.

[Anonymous No.6522030]

>>6522018
I'm expecting it to be roomy, I'm 6'3" and 120lb. Most things I wear I could fit another person in, and nobody would notice.

>>6522014
Noted, I'll see if I can find any after I'm done with my little shopping list.

[Anonymous No.6522049]

>>6522019

Alpha Industries makes the original M65 but there are a shitload of other brands that print the same pattern, usually with a slimmer fit.

But why don't you want to be dynamic, anon?

[Anonymous No.6522055]

>>6522039
Pretty much. The guns my people use are essentially milspec. Heavy as fuck metal and wood guns with proper magazine sizes, powered by the magic of propane.

>>6522040
Pretty much, yes. It's a fun activity though, and you meet lots of interesting people. Lots of millitary veterans play, fucking scary people to be up against.

>>6522049
Because T-Shirts and plate carriers are uncomfortable, and I can't grow a decent beard.
I also look terrible in those sunglases magpul-guy wears...

[Anonymous No.6522063]

You should be able to pick up a slide belt or an H-rig pretty cheaply if you shop around. I don't know how much US mil-spec cartridge pouches/holsters from WWII go for, but soviet mosin nagant pouches and whatnot go pretty cheaply on ebay.

>>6522055

[Anonymous No.6522074]

Okay, here's what I have so far.

Jacket
http://www.garderoben.se/surplus-m65-regiment-svart-camo-p-2462-c-434.aspx?externalsearch=1
Looks omega-comfy, but will probably be large enough for me to fit a family of gypsies in there with me, if I remove the fleece padding.

Alternatively
http://www.garderoben.se/m65-faltjacka-med-varmefoder-fran-mfh-olivgron-p-2059.aspx?externalsearch=1
Or http://www.garderoben.se/rothco-ultra-force-vintage-m65-faltjacka-p-768-c-416.aspx?externalsearch=1

Pants
http://www.garderoben.se/surplus-airborne-vintage-slimmy-cargo-byxor-olivgron-p-2773-c-434.aspx?externalsearch=1
Again, comfy factor.

Alternatively

Or http://www.garderoben.se/m65-byxa-kopia-p-1387-c-411.aspx
Because autism.

Belt
http://www.garderoben.se/usmc-pistolbelt-p-688-c-261.aspx

Boots I'm cheaping out on. I have a pair of indestructable steeltoe Caterpillar boots I've had for years, that I use for yard work, or general hick-wear. They should work well enough for this.

No, I think black metal guns are ugly. I only use glorious wood and laquer. And they are bulky as fuck to use in situations that demand operating.

In addition to Aarseth’s murder, police found 150 kg of explosives and 3000 rounds of ammunition in Vikernes’ home during an in the early 90’s. While on prison leave in 2003, Vikernes hijacked a car at gunpoint, adding 13 months to his sentence upon arrest. He was later released on parole in 2009.

He'd probably kill all that human trash in sight

If I ever get my hands on some Soviet era guns, I'll see about building a little Gurka wardrobe. Those looks really comfy.

[Anonymous No.6522114]

>>6522097
I'm not! I just prefer the feel of wood, is all. Also heavy guns are toptier for when you're laying down outside. Keeps stable as a twig in water.

I have an M416 on backorder for indoor games, though. That's the one black rifle I could see myself use.

yea those guys were so fucking crazy.
it's ridiculous to think he's actually out of prison, and when he was in there they let him record music.

wtf is Norwegian prison like?

[Anonymous No.6522116]

>>6522074
The first jacket is a nice pattern but the camo kills the WWII/partisan vibe if that's what you're going for. The second one is pretty standard looking, the sleeves on the third look weird for some reason.

The first pants are neat.

As far as boots go, you could probably find a pair of Addisons on Etsy in the $50-$75 range. The seller VintageCombatBoots has a good selection.

I'm conflicted about the first jacket. It looks really fucking comfy, but the camo pattern does indeed ruin the olive drab thing. If I find it in olive drab, I'm definitely getting it. Otherwise I'm sacking it for one of the other jackets.

Furthermore, I have the urge to buy tons of Jeep caps to hand out at games. They looks ridiculously comfy.

do fencers play with toy swords?

[Anonymous No.6522149]

>>6522134
I think you'd like it, if you ever try it. It's great for exercise. Most outdoor games we do we'll march for at least 20 kilometers before we see someone to shoot at.
One time at a massive game we got a lift from some people with a Dingy. Shit's fucking bananas.

Airshit isn't fashion though. We have /toy/ for that, I believe.

oh, and fencing takes skill and years of training to actually be any good. it isnt just LARPing around a forest swinging the sword about and yelling "lightning bolt!", which is pretty similar to this pretending to be a soldier pew pew i shot you ur out bullshit.

besides, which ones in the olympics m8y?

[Anonymous No.6522166]

Fuck it, I'll just go with the padded jacket. It'll break the look a good bit, but It'll be used mostly outdoors anyway. Warm and comfy goes over style in this case.

Thank you all for your assistance. I was sure I would've been booed out. I'm glad I was wrong.
I might come back one day and post pictures of how it turned out. Good day to you, gentlemen.
