everywhere you look today, whether online or in real life, you see these "ironic people". And i don't mean someone who perhaps makes ironic or sarcastic jokes, or one who points out irony. I do plenty of both. By that i mean people who take everything as a joke or do everything in a sarcastic manner. They dress like absolute slobs, like a stereotypical pedophile mustache with the 80s mullet shaved on the sides, scribble tattoos on them because nothing is sacred or serious, their very flesh is a canvas to paint on like a 5 year old. They hold (((far left))) (((woke))) opinions that they defend to death and attempt to shame other dissenters into agreeing.
And this is not only with so called influencers, look at what gen z-gen alphas post on tiktok, it's all very poor jokes but said in an ironic way with poor grammar. Low quality edits in their video essays on youtube as if that is comedic in any way.
In fiction, every character has to be some safe woke bitch that throws sarcastic quips and takes nothing seriously. so instead of going "hey can you turn off the light" they will say "hey so yeah that light is like totally annoying my eyeballs so could you move your finger to the light switch and like shut it off perhaps, if you can i mean that's totally cool if not". Oh, and they have to make fun of edgy characters. God what happened to edgy characters huh? White guy, mid to late 30s, edgy backstory, antihero personality, saves the day, doesn't talk a lot. Normies just decided they had enough of them one day and now they are either made into jokes or just do not exist anymore. Replaced by quirky shitskin or faggot character #421
Even within political circles, the so called "chud" meme, or tranny memes. they're all lighthearted and even semi accepted in the light-hearted manner in which they are memed about or discussed.
i see it all as an infantilization of society as a whole, and it disgusts me to my very core. Makes me want to go get the most fash look i can and go out on the street looking like a member of the SS with a scowl on my face 24/7 just so i can be the total antithesis of this garbage.
I'm tired of all of it
You can try these:
1- Hessen Antique
These guys are based in the US and they're very friendly and helpful.
The price for items is reasonable, and the quality is great.
Just a note that the buttons on some of their tunics are loose, but it's extremely easy to tighten them.
2- Hikishop/Hikishop.biz
These guys are Chinese sellers, and they're completely trustworthy, but communication with them is absolutely horrendous. You'll have to send a lot of emails to get a response. You should be completely fine though if you are simply looking to buy what is offered on their store pages.
They have the cheapest uniforms on the market, but some aren't accurate to the original, especially their Enlisted M36/M40/... tunics. However, they also have some uniforms that aren't available anywhere else.
3- Military Harbor
Again, Chinese sellers, but this time they respond to you :)
Their items are more expensive, but their quality is phenomenal, I've heard small complaints about some of their tunics though. Their visor caps are top notch.
My only complaint is that their sizing chart is really confusing, so absolutely make sure that you order the correct size, since they don't do refunds.
4- War Militaria
These guys are Italians and they have near museum-accurate insignia and armbands.
The items and shipping is expensive, but it's worth it if you're looking for something that looks exactly like the original.
5- Landser Outfitters / Weikert.cz
Good for getting some niche items that are not available anywhere else.
That's my list, but people generally suggest "At The Front" and "Nestof", but for me, they've always just had a very limited stock and selection, with an extremely high price tag, though they are known to being identical to the originals.
I'd also avoid buying from aliexpress and ebay, they're full of chinesemen and Indians trying to sell you crappy stuff.
And lastly, I don't think I really have to say this, but DO NOT wear german uniforms in public, halloween or not. I wouldn't even wear them in a reenactment setting. One picture, and (((they))) will ruin your life, I've seen it happen to a few people I know, and I wouldn't want it happening to you guys.
[the armbands look affordable](https://www.warmilitaria.it/en/25-arm-bands) [rings](https://www.warmilitaria.it/en/33-rings) too
but i don't see any uniforms... do you see any?
They censor the swastikas because their old site got nuked.
Edit: I forgot to add, I'd get my armbands from Murphs Militaria. Navigating the site is a bit difficult but their armbands are amazing, and the guys running it are American.
but again, no suits...
i suppose i'll probably have to find some chink willing to do some "custom" work on aliexpress for the suit, the armbands i have many options to buy from thanks to you, though... are the shipping... discrete?
Hikishop made me my custom Reinhard Heydrich uniform, but I understand if you wouldn't like a Chinese-made tunic.
And yes, all of these options are discrete, the sellers I recommended are all wary. You won't be getting a see-through plastic bag with a huge swastika.
Edit: I wouldn't recommend getting custom work done by chinese men, especially not on aliexpress.
You could ask the guys on Military Harbor, they might do it. I know they do custom tailoring for the tunics.

If you want insignia and medals put on, I would only suggest going in person. It's very unreliable online, as you can't see the process. What I did was I went up to my local tailor shop and told them that I work for a museum/memorial gallery.
