mtp pcs smocks where to get one

[screwdriver]

looking for a mtp pcs smock ,the later model with mesh liner felt pockets etc, and have
looked at a few on ebay which though advertised as pcs are clearly the older model misadvertised.
are there any reliable stockists of these jackets in size 180/96 or 104.

[southey]

I would be only be guessing here but, due to the current demand for us who need them, Any pcs on the market might be viewed with suspicion

[screwdriver]

thanks for your reply ,i fully understand your point but ebay do have a few genuine ones but in completely the wrong size, some ive missed have even still been in the packets

[southey]

yup, and I am still guessing that those sold on ebay are by people selling kit they should be handing back

Mil kit that has been next to the skin cannot be reissued so to be honest, it makes no difference.

I know of 2 Police agencies that actively check, big money...

Very true, the new PCS falls to bits after a while and most the MTP PCS Smocks seem to have dodgy zips, but the pockets are good.

[southey]

the velcro isnt, after a hot iron has ruined it of course

Trousers fall to bits after a couple of weeks of wear and daily washing. Poor quality compared to old Green DPM (and that wasn't the best)

Whats with the fascination with UBACS? Everyone has them on.

The MOD has authorised disposal of MTP to authorised disposal agents, however NO public release is authorised yet. That includes by the disposal agents. Accordingly, any genuine MTP being sold as surplus is either 1. Nicked or 2. Nicked!

A licence to sell the MTP has yet to be obtained by the the MOD.

There is not a lot of difference and US SF wear ours for some reason.

It's all licensed by Crye which is owned by a very astute hillbilly looking young fella, who also happens to be very very rich (now). He employs a super duper fandango legal team to protect his patents pro-actively world wide.

Its really poor quality stuff, I don't understand the obsession.

Not all patterns in the UK multicam are the same either. Certain units prefer certain patterns etc.

Some advice? Dont be a plonker around anyone wearing the peacock 1 variant...

Other posters are right though, if it's Brit and it's for sale,it shouldn't be. Also, such sales ARE monitored. I know of someone who got a 6am knock for selling 30 ration packs.

All fun and jollies until it's your hard drive leaving the house in a plastic bag at 6.30am in front of the neighbours.
