Scrim Camouflage (Original)
Scrim Camouflage (Original)
This listing is for 4 strips of olive drab and 2 strips of burlap scrim camouflage only. Helmet net, the helmet itself and the helmet stand are not included in this listing.
Proper color helmet net scrim is another authenticity item that we are very passionate about at SID44. This is original olive drab and brown scrim in the perfect shades that everyone wants. Exact same material that troopers were using to camouflage their helmets in Normandy
One bag of scrim comes with 4 strips of olive drab and 2 strips of brown to match the most common color ratio seen on helmets in original photographs. There is enough scrim to cover 1 helmet extensively or 2 helmets sparingly. DO NOT USE TAN SCRIM AS IT WAS VERY VERY RARE.
If you are buying scrim online and it isn't original material 99 times out of 100 it is the WRONG COLOR. Yes, original scrim came in many different shades but it was not found in the shades that 99% of other companies are selling.
More often than not repo companies are going to Joann Fabric or Hobby Lobby and buying bolts of colored burlap and cutting it into strips to resell. Unfortunately the "designer" colors that those companies are making are dyed to meet the needs of modern day craft makers and event coordinators who shop at those stores, not serve as "period" camouflage.
