Which Milsurp clothing goes well with casual wear?
I'm new to the world of military surplus collecting. My first item is a Polish overcoat that I plan to use for winter! I'm interested in collecting stuff from Sweden, Switzerland, and from countries that no longer exist like E.Germany, Yugoslavia, or Czechoslovakia.
I want to expand on this to something lighter, like a tunic or a field jacket.
I was wondering, in general, what items are considered acceptable for everyday casual use with out looking too much like I'm stealing valor, or resembling a renenactment cast?
I read elsewhere that some of the WW2/early Cold War era wool tunics (like those from Switzerland, Sweden, or Finland) looks classy enough to be used casually. But a friend told me to be careful as it might be mistaken as Nazi uniforms due to it being grey.
I also heard that M65s are also more acceptable for field jackets as its less boxy.
I wanna hear the experiences of long time collectors here.
