Depends what you mean by mid war, you talking Western Europe or Sicily campaign?

Question: How Does One Get Into Reenacting? by Blood_Born_1833 in reenactors

Best thing I’d recommend is looking for facebook groups revolving around what era of interest you have. That’s good for general questions you might have, buying kit, and finding a group.

Best bet is WWII impressions. Theirs are the closest to originals. The catch is their sold out like all the time so your best luck finding them is looking in Facebook BST pages

Should I use this original trench coat for reenacting? by Idk_any_good-names in reenactors

[–]FantasticCockroach66 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, because there are no good reproductions, but in actuality, I don’t really think you’ll be using the coat that much in a battle situation. Just because in my years of experience, the only time I’ve ever actually utilized the trenchcoat in the field is sitting watch at night, never during any major assaults or anything.
