|
|
Good morning to all:
Has anybody bought any of the Deepeeka clothing?
I ask for two reasons; size and quality.
Size, I have found that many things made outside the USA that are medium are not 'me'. I am 5'9" tall, about 210 and fit. I find I have to buy XL or sometimes XXL especially in Tshirts.
Quality, for the price I am curious how thick the cloth is and if the stitching is going to need restitching.
Thank you all in advance

Since no one else has answered----I don't own any myself. I'm presuming you were looking at the Deepeeka clothes on KoA, so I went and did some checking. I only saw reviews on a few of the Viking tunics, and they were all pretty favorable...4 and 5 stars. The only thing anyone complained about was the tunic feeling a little 'scratchy', so I guess a good washing with some fabric softener might be a good idea. So, if you find something you like in your size, go for it.
I get most of my period clothing from GDFB and Epic Armoury. Their stuff all runs true-to-size, and is good quality. Hope this helps. .......McM

The only thing I have any experience with, as far as clothing, from Deepeeka is the WWII uniform stuff. What I have had was pretty good quality and the material was not bad at all. I did notice on some German zeltbahns (sp?) that the camouflage material was pretty easily ripped. The uniform clothing was a bit on the scratchy side but a good washing, which would also reduce the "new look" of the material helped. Sorry I cannot tell you anything about the medieval stuff.
