Not even close...sorry

These pics were taken at a civilian shoot on a army base in the far north of Canada....where no one is likely to CRY about old men dressing up

Im sorry to hear it is so frowned upon...

"...wearable relics from that era are both scarce and expensive..." That's why there is a reproduction industry. Start here. reenactor.Net, THE Online, Worldwide Home of Living History Forums - World War I Main
Wearing the stuff on a regular range isn't exactly encouraged.

I've got that response from quite a few people so far, why is this?

It's frowned upon here. Especially by people (generally the range management) who've worn the green suit in the past. We have enough image problems here without being photographed by the Press as 'playing soldiers'.

At 330lbs., I'm afraid I'd look a little silly! No, make that a LOT silly.
