It is difficult to order a tailor made leather jacket from so far away but when you have to deal with correct people like Mark Platts it will all be ok in the end. I will definitely buy again and will recommend to my friends.
On the sites of this online store, you can find eyelash and even ethnic forms, which can be used for any events, such as cultural, local or family interpretation. Appropriate and historically effective
I am a collector of WW2 German visor caps and wearing them for my garden work etc.
I have ever purchased a white crowned U-Boat captain hat and a black SS officer's hat from Historybunker. Both are very nice and high quality reproductions.
Although it takes relatively long time, they say 6-8 weeks to produce plus shipping time, their products are remarkable, worth for waiting.
Historybunker is highly recommended and reliable UK manufacturer of military related products.
Hopefully, it would be better if they have cheaper shipping options for overseas.
I ordered a British 1920's Motor Racing Leather Jacket from The History Bunker last year to wear on vintage motorcycle rallies. Communication was superb and the jacket is outstanding. It fits perfectly and is beautifully crafted. I couldn't be more delighted.
Quick to accommodate, especially in my case with a wardrobe malfunction during a professional theatre tour. Mark is lovely to work with and delivers the product very efficiently.

Absolutely fantastic product, I must admit we had a few issues at the start, but that was only because my isp and Marks were not talking to each other. Mark is probably the most understanding person I have had any dealings with. Any way back to the item. Well made, really good fit, looks like it will last a lifetime, it'll certainly outlast me! I'd have no reservations buying from The History Bunker again, although Mark might have other thoughts about me :)
The History Bunker is local and what a treat it was to visit. A great selection of WW1 and 2 uniforms in excellent condition and perfect for our production of Dads Army. Also available for hire are all the accessories i. E. boots, helmets, braces medal bars, Home Guard armbands etc - what a joy to have everything in one place. Mark was a fountain of knowledge with a great emphasis on attention to detail. Kept in touch via email which were always responded to promptly. Had fabulous comments about the uniforms during show week from our audience. Won't hesitate to use again when we do another production of Dads Army. Many thanks.
I have ordered several items such as WW11 German tunics and most recently a magnificent German officer's leather coat, I am truly amazed at the exceptional detailing and workmanship on these military outfits. Mark comes across as a very passionate artist in his field of authentic reproductions in military gear. I have a collection of mainly Civil war reproduction clothing (probably the only collection in Australia) none have been as perfect as Mark's works. You are a credit to your business.
I have ordered an uniform jacket (Anglo Zulu war period) and got a perfect fitting masterpiece of highest quality. I only had to send my individual measurings after a chart, provided by the seller. This work is absolutely worth the money. The seller communicates very friendly and fast and answered me immediately any question I had, no matter if it was about the work or the historical background of the uniform.
I can recommend this seller highly!
I have just received a WW1 Scottish cutaway tunic and am very pleased and satisfied. The price is reasonable and the time of delivery respected. Great communication and assistance under every aspect. Highly recommended seller
I ordered a reproduction to be made to size; of British Army tropical jacket that was issued in WWII. Long story; but I have a photo of my father wearing this serving in N. Africa in WWII. I saw a very similar KD bush jacket on the History Bunker web site. I communicated with Mark at The History Bunker via e mail and asked for a few specific details to be on the jacket. The jacket arrived perfect. It was custom tailored so it took time to be sewn but the time frame was quicker then their estimate, so that was a nice surprise as well. I am very pleased with the service and the email communication with History Hut is top notch in their responding to me as a customer. The quality and attention to historic uniform details is "spot on ".

I recently bought a German WWII uniform from History Bunker, that was too large (my mistake). I was able to return it, and Mark was very helpful in getting me another one that was just right. The quality of the uniform is excellent, and overall my experience with History Bunker was great. I definitely recommend buying from here.
I ordered a WWII era RAF uniform for the Goodwood Revival. I provided the History Bunker with my measurements and they sent to the uniform to my hotel. It was perfect! I unconditionally recommend the History Bunker! I will use them again. Henry K.
Perfectly adjusted and manufactured in a high quality fabrics. Superb work in the manufacture of both uniforms. Excellent communication with Mark store manager, always a quick answer to the questions asked. Always kind and considerate.and he is a man of his word, a man of honor. My wife and I are very happy with our outfits.
Shipping on time. I highly recommend if you want a uniform that meets the chosen period and quality at a reasonable price.
Thanks, Mark, thanks History Bunker!

Yesterday I received a great German WWII SS uniform from "The History Bunker". The items came within the noted timetable of 6-8 weeks. This uniform will be used in a scifi WWII movie project later this summer in the U.S. The uniform fit perfectly and was produced so well... that I will be recommending The History Bunker to all my German WWII re-enactors. Thank you for the best uniform I have ever acquired since 2001! Ted
I bought WW1 P07/10 Imperial German Soldier TUNIC. I would recommend the tunic as first class. Materials tailoring design and authentic looking all are of the best quality. Price I also thought was great
I have ordered a leather jacket. When it came to choosing the right size, I needed some assistance. Mark was extremely responsive and all questions were answered, jacket had to be custom made. Order placed, jacket arrived within the communicated lead time.
I am extremely happy with the quality and the fit of the jacket provided. Heavy leather, good craftsmanship, it could not get any better!
I bought replica trousers -German from WWII and they are very good quality, fit perfect and soon I will order something more- The History Bunker is the best company for vintage clothes lovers. Thank you Mark.
Kind regards

The leather jacket is well made fits perfectly. Mark was very helpful with getting the proper sizing and answering my initial questions promptly. If there's one thing I would change, it would be a little more communication after the order has been placed.
Many emails over several months trying to get one hat. When asked for shipping tracking number they were never able to provide one. After repeated requests they still could not figure out the problem and eventually gave refund. Don't waste your time with these folks unless you have no other options.
Hi, customer had a hat on back order, he then informed us that he had acquired one elsewhere so he was duly refunded - emails between us were always amicable on both sides, so the review is quite puzzling.
