New coat
September 7, 2014

And for the second time an excellent job Mark. Thanks a lot for your help and concerns. Once again a beautiful coat. Just as the first one. Nice leather and perfect fit.

I'm very very happy with my new jacket

I had been reading about Bastogne in regard to the US Army being surrounded by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge…Delving deeper on Google, I saw a picture of a Bastogne sign…I clicked on the HistoryBunker…and ordered up their copy. It is virtually a spot-on copy as General McAuliffe holds in historical pictures. The artistry is stunning…Kudos to HistoryBunker.co.uk

I ordered a tailor made SS overcoat at The History Bunker that due to communication mistakes wasn't what I believed I had ordered. When notifying THB they took the coat back and made me a completely new tailor made coat according to my wishes. All without any additional costs or fees. Whenever contacting THB they always respond super fast. Not once have they let me wait for an answer. The service and professionalism at THB are without comparison. By far the best site I have ever had to do with. The quality of the coat is of complete satisfaction.

If you are looking for any great war uniform replicas then this is the place. Communication is amazing, fast replying and are really trying to satisfy the customer's needs. Products are delivered really fast, are well made and fit perfectly. It's a great site for any reenactor.

I ordered a custom made German Officer's GrossDeutschland waffenrock tunic
from this company and the quality was superior. It comes with one medal but you can add more but check with Mark first on their availability, if not available there are other military antique dealers that sell both very fine replicas in the U.K and U.S. I highly recommend them to collectors.I assure you that you will be very happy with their products. I have done business with them for many years.

Do not buy anything from another company until you contact THB first. They have the largest selection that I have ever seen.The quality of fabric and workmanship is pristine. Mark is a true professional and will work with you with timely emails so that you will get exactly what you need.

Regarding my ULAN German Uniform the service I received from the History Bunker was first class, very professional in their manor, especially Mark who was extremely helpful. The quality of the uniform is second to none. The price was very reasonable for the quality I received. Have recommended History Bunker to all in my re-enactment group.

Very amazing site...
November 17, 2013

Very amazing site... I am a musician and have been investing in a lot of stage gear of late. And as a result have been on and ordered from many sites in the last three months... Mark's site has the is right up there for promptness. Considering much of this is made to order... and the most extensive catalog of uniforms I have run into... fun to look through... I'll be back...

Excellent quality products. I require custom tailoring, and everything I've bought has fit like a glove. Also, I have found that some of the items offered are difficult to find elsewhere (even after an exhaustive web search). Furthermore, if you require customer service for anything, you'll get prompt and pleasant help!

Did amazing work for me on a British Airborne uniform, and was able to tailor it for me in a month's time. Excellent service, and I plan on working with them again. They stayed in frequent communication to keep me updated on its progress and answer my (numerous) questions along the way.

Fantastic company to do business with! Aside from the wide variety of items available, the quality of the finished product was excellent, and the customer service first rate! As an example, Mark contacted me to mention an issue with the measurements I sent him from my local tailor - they seemed out of proportion to him. Surely enough, I double-checked and found one was off by a few inches. A little detail that made all the difference! I'll definitely be doing business with them again!

I ordered a custom made trench coat from HB and the quality of the coat is superb, shipping was the fastest I have ever received from overseas, and the communication cant be beat. I will be ordering from them again and I highly recommend this company to anyone interested in their products.

— I've made several purchases with The History Bunker (THB). Their stores are vast and there's always something that I've never seen elsewhere, and/or their quality is usually far better. Recently there was a specific item I really wanted which took a while to receive. No matter! It was never something I NEEDED right away, I mean, who needs a historical reproduction item right away at all costs, right? (unless you're suiting-up for Halloween). THB hunted high and low for what I ultimately wanted and got and I couldn't be more pleased. I've not been able to find it anywhere else, and the cost would have been double elsewhere I'm told. I worked with Mark, and he was patient, reassuring and kind. I just didn't want to cancel and I didn't want a refund, I knew THB would come up with it and frankly I was tired of looking for this item. Mark came through for me and I couldn't be happier. THB is one of my TOP 3 trusted WWII collectible suppliers. They're indispensable. Thanks guys!

I needed a WW1 uniform within 3 weeks. I contacted The History Bunker. Mark and his team couldn't have been more helpful. Not only did he keep in touch throughout but the final part of the outfit arrived 4 days before the date expected. Very pleased with the quality of the uniform too. Thank you to all at the history bunker. I would recommend the company wholeheartedly.

I have used the History Bunker a number of times now for both buying and hiring items. The service is fantastic and the uniforms are stunning and extremely realistic. The little correspondence i have had with the company is quick and staff are very helpful. They do there best to sort you out with what you want. After what i think is an honest review i should say that i have no connections with the company, just a very satisfied customer. John West Sussex
