Picked Up a WPG Shirt and MKVII Bag

[Crusader]

Just got these from What Price Glory and thought I'd share. I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger because of the reputation the shirts have but I'm glad I did. They must have fixed their sizing issues with the cut because I ordered a medium (the size I usually wear) and it fits great. They seem to run a little long, but it's ok as long as you tuck it in. It's a very well made shirt and a good alternative to the Todd's for about the same price. Plus they shipped this stuff out super fast. Ordered on Friday, delivered on Tuesday. From overseas.





Now I kind of didn't know what to expect of the bag because it's original and about 70 years old. This thing looks like it just came from the factory. Literally still folded in the way it originally came with all the strings and stuff. No corrosion or any imperfections. Really cool considering it's stamped 1942.





I've had a repro bag for a couple years, and while it's very nice, the original is just way cooler.
Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone is thinking about getting these.

I just ordered the shirt and something else from them. I buy so much stuff I lose track.

The shirt looks good! Glad to hear about the sizing. I could have gone camping in the old one I had. It was HUGE!

With the bag just watch out for dry rot in the webbing where the strap attaches. They can look perfect and then all of a sudden they just go... usually when your miles from anywhere with a full bag. I've lost two original bags that way. Now I tend to use my Magnoli if I'm ever actually carrying anything

Thanks for the tip. I figured if there was a weak point it would be those so I've been tugging on them, testing for weaknesses. So far so good but you never know!

As for the shirt I'm glad they did away the the "circus tent" fit as well because everything else about it is pretty nice.
