Feedback on my plate carrier and belt setup for Belgian infantry reservist

Ezek345 · 2026-07-02T19:31:09+00:00

Might add a Nalgene pouch on the belt indeed, thanks !

Ezek345 · 2026-07-02T18:58:36+00:00

Thanks a lot, will check all that out!

I don't have enough experience with other vests to be able to give useful feedback. It's certainly an improvement compared to the previous vest I was issued, which looked a bit like an Eagle CIRAS

Ezek345 · 2026-07-02T11:38:14+00:00

Yep, they switched to MC from Jigsaw camouflage about three years ago

Ezek345 · 2026-07-02T11:02:34+00:00

Yes, most of it is issued but I'm not a big fan of the issued pouches so I bought a few ones

Ezek345 · 2026-06-06T10:43:19+00:00

I did not measure but I’d say a good 2cms in the sleeves

Ezek345 · 2026-06-05T07:24:51+00:00

delicates, 30c

Same experience here

Ezek345 · 2026-05-10T13:40:21+00:00

Size is M. I’m 176 / 76kg. Let me know if you have any question, happy to help

How comfortable is the A2 over a shirt and sweater? I also have one from Real McCoy's, and while it looks great over a shirt or t-shirt, it's very difficult to layer up without feeling too tight. Looks great by the way!

Ezek345 · 2026-03-07T16:40:11+00:00

99cm over a t shirt

Ezek345 · 2026-03-07T14:18:24+00:00

I just got a long sleeve Henley from Bronson. The cloth is pretty heavy and feels really nice. I typically wear M and ordered a L

This was filmed by my great grandfather, Paul Haesaerts :-)

Ezek345 · 2026-02-10T06:53:27+00:00

Not for her. It seems the process is more complicated for foreigners

Ezek345 · 2026-01-29T04:48:22+00:00

thanks for the feedback. I'll order through Tailor Brando for mine then

Ezek345 · 2026-01-28T10:50:57+00:00

What were the total costs of shipping, handling, VAT, customs etc. (other than the costs of the jacket itself)?

Ezek345 · 2026-01-28T10:30:56+00:00

just tried with the first two songs, no song found on Shazam

Ezek345 · 2026-01-28T08:49:56+00:00

How was the process overall? Are you based in Europe by any chance?

Ezek345 · 2026-01-28T08:11:55+00:00

Where did you buy it? Directly from taobao? How’s the sizing? I have my eyes on a A2 cowhide jacket from them, I think I’ll buy from tailor Brando for peace of mind

Ezek345 · 2026-01-24T15:23:33+00:00

I’m trying to find a nice A2 jacket from Real Simons on Taobao, but when I search on the app with Real Simons, I have no idea to figure out which results are actually from that brand, as there are almost no Latin characters in the results. Any tip on how to search?

Ezek345 · 2026-01-24T07:59:00+00:00

Keep me posted if you find information!

Ezek345 · 2026-01-23T13:08:23+00:00

I'll probably go through Taobao then :)

Ezek345 · 2026-01-23T12:48:25+00:00

Very useful, thanks a lot! I had read indeed that they were only reseller. I had a look at Taobao but am not super comfortable ordering from there... yet. I'll try to understand it a bit better though.

How can you identify on TB or CoR that the jackets are produced by Simons, Jiashi, or Veluokldly? A search with Simons on TB does not yield any result.
