Hi Roderich

Have you managed to source some boots yet?

Roderich · **Joined:** Thu Feb 19, 2009 2:23 pm **Posts:** 53

Sadly not, i think im going to wait until the war and peace show until I find boots so that i can try them on and see if i am actually that size.
Thanks for your help

I forgot to mention Roderich - nice photo!

Tadpole · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 4:33 pm

Ah! so, when i have my curls on show, its an 'atrocity of a haircut', but when Roderich has them, they are 'nice'! Looks like Bauer has found his Unteroffizier's pet! *GRINS*

Thanks, thats the mosty recent photo of me. I was meaning to get my hair cut abit shorter but at the last minute I changed my mind. I did have an afro.

On a different note does anyone have any suggestions about buying Y straps, the best sellers and make?

Bauer · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:16 pm

Yes, I saw the haircut Tisserant. Let's just say Roderich has a while to get his cut! You don't! :evil:

Hmmm, no. I will need to hand this over to the Hauptfeldwebel.

Hi,
My boots arived this morning, how do i make them darker? Someone said black shoe die and someone else says just polish.
Roderich

Tadpole · **Posted:** Thu Aug 13, 2009 4:52 pm

Black dubbing!

Roderich · **Joined:** Thu Feb 19, 2009 2:23 pm **Posts:** 53

Hi,
Thanks for your swift reply, ok I will try that.
Roderich

Kalten · **Joined:** Thu Apr 10, 2008 6:06 pm **Posts:** 136

Sorry for not getting back sooner

Boots should be black The best way to do this is to give them one coat of black shoe
dye and there after use black dubbing
I have discussed this with Max Rob and Nick and we will be upgrading the uniform regs accordingly
Rob and I have never seen an origional pair of boots any other colour other than black unless unissued

While on the subject all leather equipment should be cleaned with black boot polish

Hi,
OK now im comfused, boots should be black? or just dark brown? Well ive found it hard to find black dubbing. I think im going to have top wait and see the uniform regs.
Thanks Rory

Kalten · **Joined:** Thu Apr 10, 2008 6:06 pm **Posts:** 136

Uniform regs will be up dated. No need to be confused boots are BLACK, not tan brown or dark brown, just BLACK any problems give me a ring.

Hi Rory

I can't see any confusion over the colour personally. Just to clarify, "untreated" tan boots should be dyed black preferably, then use black boot polish, then ordinary dubbing to "matt" them. If you cannot dye them, just the black boot polish and dubbing afterwards. That is the way to treat tan boots, and that will not change from our forthcoming updated uniform regulations.

That should darken them down sufficiently, if not entirely, which is OK. I myself also put dubbing on the soles too. just to waterproof them even more.

Hi,
Thats cleared that up.
Thanks

So does that mean that Schnürschuhe generally have to be blackened in the Füsiliere?

Hi Erich
Welcome to forum Yes we generally go for blackened boots.
My self or Rob (who has original boots in his collection) have never seen an original pair of boots in any other colour other than black unless unissued .
This is not to say they did not exist but we like to stick to the norm rather than exception.

All the best
Kalten

Erich Johann · **Posted:** Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:21 am

Thanks Kalten.

Before I open a thread asking a lot of "where to get that / who makes the best / blabla" questions: will there be a uniform regulations / recommended vendor list?

Bauer · **Posted:** Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:15 am

Hallo Erich

Good to "see" you again! Can I ask why you would like to see our Uniform regulations/vendor list? Are you interested in joining our little band?

Bauer · **Posted:** Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:18 pm

Hi Erich

Thanks for the PM. Will respond to you later, and after I have spoken to Mein Leutnant regarding the information.

All the best

Erich Johann · **Posted:** Tue Oct 20, 2009 4:05 pm

Jawoll, Herr Unteroffizier!

Erich Johann · **Posted:** Thu Oct 22, 2009 2:48 pm

What about this supposedly 1943 order about stopping to black (ankle) boots to which people in various fora refer to? Only source cited there for such an order is an SS order from 1944.

Hi
As you said (the supposedly 1943 order about stopping to black boots). This is why we like to stick to the norm, rather than the exception, and black boots is the norm.

Hallo,

What order was this??

Erich Johann · **Posted:** Fri Oct 23, 2009 9:46 am

Someone in the panzergrenadier.net forum only posted the SS order Nummer: Nr10, 15 May 1944, Ziff.233.

The other (Heer/Wehrmacht/?) order is, as said, a supposed one, and I have yet to see any sources.

SPW · **Joined:** Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:44 pm **Posts:** 230

Most interesting. Thank you for the information.

Well, as and when we see the Wehrmacht/Heer order then we may have something to consider. Until then, black boots!

Bauer · **Posted:** Fri Oct 23, 2009 10:35 am

Notwithstanding the vast photographic evidence also.

Jürgen · **Posted:** Fri Oct 23, 2009 6:31 pm

There's no going black, once you dye your boots. :lol:

Erich Johann · **Posted:** Wed Nov 04, 2009 8:20 pm

A friend of mine who has been making authentic American Civil War-era booties (also known as "brogans") for some while has now started making Schnürschuhe:

What do you think of these?

Bauer · **Posted:** Wed Nov 04, 2009 8:53 pm

Hallo Erich

Personally, I believe these to be excellent, and am defintiely interested in ordering a pair. My only concern is the size, and that if I order a pair and they are too small, too big, it is not a cheap problem to resolve.

We will see about a group order though. Would your friend be able to provide a discount for a minimum order?

Thank you

PS - Our update uniform regs are still not available yet, but as soon as they are I will let you know.

Kalten · **Joined:** Thu Apr 10, 2008 6:06 pm **Posts:** 136

Thay look spot on I think thay are the same boots Max has being looking in to :?:

I will defintiely be ordering a pair

He wrote me that he could, for example, think about paying post&packaging for an order with 6 pairs plus.

Any opinions on this new Czech dealer?

Herr Hauptfeldwebel,

Indeed these are the ankle boots I was telling you about.

Erich,

Thank you for the post regarding the Marschstiefel. They look ok, but again I am no expert. We will get our little collector elves to have a look next week! Danke schoen!
