I'm just wearing this under the armor. My costume is inspired by the original Gates/Cooper recolour.

German army field jackets are pretty popular in surplus stores, the cammo pattern looks pretty rad and they’re usually cheaper than the US military gortex tops.

Done.

Option B: just adjust the grip strength of the shirt stay clasp.

It takes about 5 seconds to complete. Inspect the metal clasp that attaches to your shirt or your sock. You should see that one of the pieces is bent into a kind of L shape. To increase the grip strength, bend that inside piece so that it's more perpendicular.

This can be done by opening the clasp, inserting a thin piece of hard material (like a small metal nail file) through the back of the clasp, and then closing the clasp slightly. Small changes can have very large effects; don't overdo it.

Note that I'm talking specifically about this style of shirt stay. They only cost about $10 and they last for years with everyday use. You just need to tighten them from time to time as the elastic gradually stretches.

Get your shirt pleated (cutting a few inches from the back). Most tailors I worked with generally charge $8-$15. Shirt Garters works too but I don't generally wear it unless I know I'm being photographed or at a formal event. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Military-Straight-Shirt-Stays/dp/B0001XLP9Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1313683235&sr=8-3

I wear this and it works pretty well.

Doubt the little metal piece will set off the detector but I'm not 100% sure.

Not cheap and I'm sure it wont pass CIF.

If you want to wear a tucked in shirt you could get some of these shirt stays. I've used them before and they work great.

This bad boy right here.

Also if you ever wear tucked in button-down shirts, get a pair of shirt garters. Theyre super cheap but might feel a little odd for the first wear or two but they make a huge difference on how you look. Would always recommend.

Rothco makes a good milspec boonie hat. It's hard to beat at $10 on Amazon. Lightweight, tough BDU fabric. Comes with chin strap, brim loops, and metal screen vents for the top. Can't go wrong at this price, I suggest giving one a try.

That or a zip up woobie

Oh god go buy some shirt stays like this.

If you're wearing socks, they will give you abso-fucking-loutely perfect shirt tucks. They'll even pull the back of the shirt down after you stand up, so it doesn't get that back sag you see a lot from people sitting down often.

Note: Wearing them often may results in major hair loss where they lay on your legs. Also, they pinch your knees sometimes. But hey, perfect tucks!

This doesn't have a hood but also doesn't have a pocket.

I have an old one laying around, haven't tried an r1 but they look the same. Ritmore dye if you don't like the color.

Best $6 chest rig ever, just add a strip of paracord through the bottom to secure it and you're good to go.

A couple other options:

I'm thinking of getting the rothco one, even though it has a fucking stupid name.

Haha no I was in the military and I had to wear them. I prefer the kind that hook to the socks.

EDIT: these ones.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJY59F0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_TBvVub1WBN426

steelmouth under a thin face wrap like a Condor. It'll protect your teeth at least.

Wrong bandolier ya dink.

You need a few of these surplus molle 6 magazine bandos for all of your extra packing peanuts.

The bandos with the clips are for when you go on a LRTP (Long Range Tendie Procurement).

I use a rubber belt style shirt stay. Other comments are correct that shirts probably fitting you properly, but for $15 these can help a lot. I go all day looking exactly how I got dressed.

There are no-rank OCP tabs so I’m gonna guess it’s up to your command.

There was a thread on r/Weightroom, topic of the day was fashion.

Someone said that Shirt Stays/Shirt Garters are good for dealing with this, though there certainly are downsides. There are some that clip to your sock, some that tie around your thigh, and one that loops under your feet which I hear is the best of those 3 choices. Other option are Magnet Tucks which are more inconspicuous and won't chafe your leg hair.

That, combined with tailoring your shirts should solve the issue.

I got your 6, devil.

This shit changed my life:

I use a [Condor multi-wrap.] (https://www.amazon.com/Condor-MULTI-P-Multi-Wrap/dp/B0086UB82U?th=1&psc=1) It works quite well and can keep me cool on hot days and warm on cold ones.

Bought these and they work wonderfully

More comfortable than I expected

Does anyone have experience with the Defender or the Brandit Giant? Over-all thoughts and sizing.

Get a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FV4IXU8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Makes your uniform look 1000% more professional.

Not sure if this is exactly it, but

Edit: yeah, it even comes with the recommended patches

Well to be fair the suit pictures were taken right after putting everything on. Kinda rushed to get some of them as you can see untied shoes in the tailored fit pictures.

For all day well tucked shirt my go to are these bad boys- http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Shirt-Stays-Locking-Clamps/dp/B00AERKG94

Ooh should add that I do get my shirts taken in to slim them down and have darts put in the back. This album shows that kinda. Especially the gap part-http://m.imgur.com/a/heKEB

A google search found me this

I'll get ya one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GT505K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493606284&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=usmc+pith+helmet&dpPl=1&dpID=416sJCX1GiL&ref=plSrch

Surprised nobody's mentioned shirt stays. They might be annoying to put on if you need to wear dress shirts every day but the fact that they keep your shirt tucked in at all times means the amount of 'bagginess' you experience will almost always be nonexistent when you wear these. These are the ones I got years ago and they still work like a charm. I say try these before you go even go to a tailor

The greatest military secret I ever learned Shirt Stays

These will keep your shirt tucked in and sharp as hell all day long.

It's not an easy find. I've been through more than I care to admit. I think the best pair I've ever had were from a small independent men's store. Check those in your area. I've also found okay ones at Army/Navy stores (they had them behind the counter). I've got these off Amazon, and they're shit. The foot loop ones always slide off my foot, so I don't use those. These are the type that I always use.

I've been wearing this softshell for 2 years. Its not super heavy, but it's pretty weather proof. I don't know what your location is but if you don't normally expect a ton a bad weather then you might want to consider this jacket. I've had a good experience with this jacket. I will say that the hood is really large, so it folds up weird. I've heard other people have had issues with the zippers.

I setup a little photoshoot for you guys, the only thing bad is that I didn't have a decent camera on me today. Anyways, here is my new night parka setup. This is a pretty cheap loadout to replicate so if you want to look to see if you can replicate it, go ahead! Here is my loadout to what follows:

• Lancer Tactical Ballistic Helmet(DE)
  
• Revision Desert Locust Goggles
  
• Condor Multi-Wrap
  
• Moldable Mouth Guard
  
• Night Parka did a weird tuck in rubber band mod for the mean time
  
• Lancer Tactical JPC
  
• Custom Mini-MAP (because I can't afford GMRRR)
  
• Mechanix Gloves
  
  Gun
  
• KWA KM4 KR5
  
• Replica EoTech
  
• 4 K120's

Now to get some shirt garters

I'm not sure if it's the same. This is what I was thinking of

[Here it is on amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/German-Army-Bundeswehr-Flecktarn-Parka/dp/B00LUVS08W)

They definitely help. I remember they use to sell a silicon belt that you put over your shirt, but under your belt line, that keeps the shirt in.

Cotton as in a boonie hat?

A boonie hat will soak up water/sweat to help cool you off, and a straw hat will allow more airflow to help cool you off.

Or you could just get bed sheet straps....same shit



Edit: Jesus H Christ, Marine. do you not know how to use google or know about Amazon? Found this after doing a simple search.

And it never occurred to me that they would still sell the things...
https://www.amazon.com/Vanguard-Shirt-Garter-Original-Military/dp/B00DJY59F0

thanks so much, I think I found the exact one though: https://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Vintage-Shirt-Olive-X-Large/dp/B000KCY8QK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487581016&sr=8-1&keywords=olive+drab+bdu+shirt

yours has nice colour options though

https://www.amazon.com/Rothco-7412LRG-Flight-Coverall/dp/B018MSP9CU

the brotherhood suits are more like a polymer flight suit instead of spandex the difference is that they are completely form fitting

I love my army surplus microgrid quarter zip, it's amazing (LINK, but you can usually find one for less than $20 on eBay or at a military surplus store). You get all the benefits of a Melanzana without the annoying bit where you actually have to go buy a Melanzana, and it's basically a Patagonia R1 for $100 less. I also prefer the modularity, so hoodless was a huge bonus for me. Other than that, it's super basic. Patagonia Capilene base layer and a puffy outer layer.

Wool is great, but heavy. I usually have a wool beanie and sometimes I'll bring a Pendleton wool shirt for the aesthetic, but I think the quarter zip performs a lot better.

It wasn't a ski mask. Just a little cloth mask to hide my face.

I have the rothco one as well. Look at my reply to wags for photos. It's not a bad jacket. Worth what you pay for it.

Living in Central FL myself, you'll want to wear a normal shirt. Wicking ones will get caught on branches and torn apart. Close fitting shirts such as underarmor tend to not dissipate the impact quite as much, which may not be a problem for you, but some people prefer to soften the hit somewhat depending upon your field's max FPS.

A normal T-shirt will stay cooler than a BDU, and still allow you to do camo. However, BDUs are still an option as long as you bring a large fan and lots of water. If your field is outdoors, staying in shade also helps much more than you'd think, and BDUs can also be fairly breathable, despite their appearance. I myself wear a woodland camo tee, and an ACU BDU, including pants. If you want the pants to breathe well, order a size above what you would normally wear, and wear a belt.

I actually wear a lot of gear, and in fact wear a pair of sports-pants underneath my pants to prevent chafing. You will get hot, but I actually found it easy to get used to, despite having moved here from northern Illinois.

As for what camo to wear, you need to observe your field, and figure out what camo will be most useful. I used ACU because I usually go to the Combat City by Orlando International Airport, and it blends fairly well in the CQB house, as well as in the greenhouse, forest, and even tall grass better than other camos I'd seen. I'm also one of the few (I guess) on this sub that actually likes ACU, so take that with a grain of salt I guess. Most of the time though, I'd just go with whatever camo you like best if you're not planning on sneaking too much.

US Air Force Reverse OCP and Spice Brown Flag with Hook Fastener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G64ZW3K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m9SOBbT0G1QV6

That looks like some nonsensical Chinesium clothing.

I was looking for a rugged field coat-like jacket on Amazon previously. I think you can find better quality for a similar price. Check out these options I found: 1 2 3 4

One sleeping bag light enough for this is the Recon II Tropical. It compresses literally down to the size of a football.

http://www.elitesurvival.com/sleeping-bags/recon-2-sleeping-bag/

A better option though is see if you can get your hands on a zippered military poncho liner. It's meant to be used as a sleeping bag liner, but I used it all through officer training school on top of my bed so I wouldn't have to make it every day.

Good luck man

I use shirt garters. I hated them when I did honor guard in the military but when I started dressing up for work I realized I hated tucking in my shirt more. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AERKG94/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1427503954&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=shirt+garters+for+men
