Agreed. Right now, the only people offering them are SM Wholesale.
Actually WWII Impressions retocked their USMC P-41's. The trousers quickly sold out, but the coat is still available. It's difficult to nail the unique color of WWII USMC HBT, but Juan has managed to get it right. I have a well worn and washed pair of their USMC trousers that have faded beautifully.

Yeah, I'm aware of WW2 Impressions, but I was thinking specifically of the trousers. They're out of stock and Buzz hasn't re-stocked for a while.

FWIW, they recently sold out of the USMC trousers and supposed to restock soon. I just picked up a pair of the USN HBT trousers which are equally well made. They’re cut with the proper high rise, full cut legs and black laurel wreath button fly. Dope AF!

like the Bronson jacket! Been very happy with Bronson cloth but ALL of their pants are WAAAAAAAAY TOO baggy for me. they seem to almost overdo it. I know that was the cut back then but geeeeez.

Rollin at ATF stopped doing USMC uniforms because the Corps won't let anyone use insignia anymore. You might have to pay royalties, or something?

Do we suppose all these other manufacturers are toeing the line?

Figures, my shoulders call for at least 44 inches and no diet can change that.
The set I do have is from a sportswear company who made shirts and pants for the movie "Thin Red Line," but my specific set was not used in the film. If memory serves, I bought them from What Price Glory around 1999.
I've heard two versions of how this came to pass.
One version was the sportswear company was already going to make them and the production bought out the entire run.
I've also heard they were made JUST for the movie.
I'll probably never know which.

Thank you, I was wonder, why I never saw anybody sold ‘the red thin red line’ jacket.

Bronson’s shoulder measurements is 50 cm for size 42, still too small for you, maybe?
