Ordered a reproduction Soviet tanker jacket, and the overall quality, fit, and design are excellent. The History Bunker staff quickly and helpfully replied to enquires, and I would highly recommend their products!

I was amazed at the speed by which the package arrived here in America. Even more amazing is the quality of both materials and workmanship of the jacket. The size was also very accurate. I cannot believe I got such a great jacket at this price! I will be a returning customer.

Exellent handcraft
December 3, 2016

I ordered a tailored WW2 German leather jacket "Imperial German Fighter Pilots leather jacket" from the History Bunker.

I have to say that the quality of the leather and stitch work is flawless. With the lining the jacket suits well and feels rugged in a good way. The leather is soft and thick and of good quality.

Mark, who handled my order was more than helpful all the way.

I can recommend History Bunker.

Absolutely the best.
December 2, 2016

I tried for years and a lot of companies to get an authentic German uniform with no luck The History Bunker is where I will get all my uniforms and accessories from now on. Don't even bother going any where else. Believe me they ARE the best. Mark is a really nice guy and very efficient. What you see on his website is what you get unlike other chancers. Great work good value and excellent service.
Thanks Mark,
Eddy from Sydney Australia.

Great company!

Their products are crafted with loads of TLC. I purchased two coats and a pair of gloves. The materials were of the best quality and the fit is perfect. The order is custom made, so be patient when you place your order. You will not be disappointed.

My father was a pilot in WW1 and I have many fond memories of him telling me flying stories, I have several photos of him in his flying togs and I have been looking for years for a real WW1 RFC pilot leather overcoat to match the one in those photos. Never found one. When I saw the ad for a newly made one I thought I would order one - it is great. Just like the photo. Leather quality is great. The company took pains to be sure it was the right size.

Upon investigation I found few merchandisers in the realm of Prussian uniforms, and out of all the competition these guys were the most inexpensive. When I first purchased the tunic I was admittedly a little confused about the sizing and tailoring specifications, but after Mark worked with me he had my tunic tailored and delivered well before my deadline.

Be sure to mention your tailored dimensions upfront and be aware that it will take 6 weeks if you want it fitted. It's a small price to pay for a well made and historically accurate garment.

I was very pleased.

WW1 US army Tunic
October 15, 2016

I have to say I am more then happy with this jacket (tunic). The craftsmanship is outstanding. It was so worth it. The historical accuracy is perfect and I highly recommend the History Bunker. The fitting was done online, so always difficult to get the exact measurements, but it was a very good fit. Little wide over the waist but easy to fix. Better a bit wide then to tight. I am tall but slim, so this is something that I am used to. The service was excellent and they are very helpful regarding the need of the costumer. This was my first item from the History Bunker, but for sure not the last.

I am truly quite amazed by the History Bunker. I ordered online and had email communication with Mark. This has been a most pleasant and rewarding process. Mark is a very knowledgeable and congenial chap who provided a level of excellence in customer care that is rare these days. The quality and workmanship of the leather coats is outstanding, actually exceeding my expectations considerably. I will be ordering a few more items and have passed on referrals to friends. In summary: high calibre of customer service and products, very much worth the extremely reasonable cost. Highly recommended in all respects.

I had an issue with a jacket that did not fit, they took it back immediately and got me a bigger size. I was so impressed that I ordered another jacket and they both were delayed (no fault of thehistorybunker) and they kept me informed with weekly emails and let me know about where the order was at all times. I was extreemly impressed with them staying in touch and keeping us appraised of the shipment! Great Job!

Our drama group is based in Ireland and we found the overseas shipping service absolutely excellent. The uniforms were of of extremely high quality and looked fantastic on stage. Mark bent over backwards to accommodate us - even when that involved very last minute panic changes to the order just before the show started! Can't recommend The History Bunker enough.

Bought a pair of British battledress trousers and a para smock, made to measure. Couldn't be happier with the result or the help I got on the way.

I ordered both the WW2 German Army (Heer) Officer and the WW2 German Army uniform packages. Both uniforms are absolutely downright amazing, and I love them. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. They were very helpful when I needed to exchange an item, and responded to my emails the same day; this is a commodity that I rarely find. Overall, The History Bunker is an amazing company that has not disappointed in any way, and I cant stop looking at those uniforms I got. Im giving them five stars.

A Great Experience
June 4, 2016

I was looking for a Canadian Soft Trench Cap for quite a while, Then I stumbled upon history bunker! Wasn't too sure on the sizing but sent in my head size, so that was the only concern. The fit was good and the quality is top notch. Fitted my Grandfather's cap badge and took a step back in time. It won't be the last time I deal with Mark. It was a small order, but he treated it with a personal touch, answered emails promptly, and in a friendly and personal manner. Cheers, Mark!

I needed a specific uniform for a specific historical impression. The staff was incredibly knowledgable, courteous and prompt. They kept me informed throughout the tailoring process and delivered a finely crafted uniform for which I have received countless compliments from experts in the field. I shall continue to recommend History Bunker, Ltd to anyone interested in historical reproductions. And I shall continue to utilize their services.

Exemplary service from start to finish. This includes the communication when my item was shipped. Mark was a pleasure to work with and his speed when responding to any questions were first rate!

Icing on the cake was the world class quality of the jacket which I am sure will last for years only getting better with age, I couldn't be happier!

I highly recommend TheHistoryBunker!
