    This document evaluates and compares different makers and dealers of WWII German reenactment tunics. It provides details on the country of origin, features, materials, authenticity, and value. Key points include: At The Front, Beauregard's Tailor, and Elsenau Militaria offered high quality custom tunics with authentic materials but at a higher price, while Gavin, Pirschen/Antz, and Sturm provided good value but with some inaccuracies. Makers like Hiki Shop and Spearhead used very poor quality synthetic materials. Additional brands still need to be evaluated.
