Coopers choice has white Giberne Covers. I have my cover from him and it fits fine over my Box which is from ShakosGBL.

That being said, I hate the looks of giberne covers... :P they are so white and ugly.

Thanks, my Caporal did give me one he had spare, but it doesn't fit because it's more of a square than the giberne flap, so the edges of the flap aren't covered.

I've been thinking of getting a new giberne from ShakosGBL, I currently have one from Coopers choice and I'm not really contend with it. It just looks so off and feels like it could fall apart any day. But then, again it is only 8 months old and it feels like wasting money replacing it that quickly. So, should I?

Difference between the two is not comparable.
ShakosGBL is a million times better.

Well, just sent them an email. Decided that alongside a new giberne I also ordered a new black leather bandolier for it aswell. Goodbye money, my dear old friend. See you again next month.

Does anyone know if Stitch in Time do Shako covers? And does anyone know if they're any good?

I'm trying to find the best place to get a repro German tornister, preferably a M39 model... Anyone know who carries the best and is not stupidly expensive?

OG is your best bet. They're reasonably priced.

I have an original one, but it's not in a usable condition... Plus, this is one of those items I would rather have repro than original, tbh...
