where to get TAP47/54 or 47/53 pants?

[rullow]

Hello,
I ve been searching ebay and other sources for a long time already and I have immense struggle to get my hands on 47/54 or 47/53 pants (not even considering the size)
Do you experience the same problem?

is there anywhere to get the new repro of 47/52 trousers from panzerfaust? I might be considering shearing off the thigh pockets from it...

La Tranchee still have their repro TAP 47/52 suits. They looked very nice to me but I can't compare them to original examples.

unfortunately - la tranchée is WPG sh!t as well..... does not look good unless you repaint the brown.... but still the scheme is not accurate and detailed as it should be...
if you repaint - it gets a little bit better but not woth the effort... you can see the result below: alco the cut is not best either - does not repesct the distance between the pocket which should be bigger as the length of the jacket increases

It could be the photo but the only difference I see is that suit on the pics you posted seems to have a tat more green?

Compare with www.trancheemilitaire.com/recherche?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=47%2F52&submit_search=

those are similar uniforms.... seller is different, producer is the same

only difference is the light during the photo session, and the fact that I repainted the brown over the green on my set.....
basically any repro of TAP4752 is of the same basis - tranchée, wpg and others... only difference is panzerfaust, So I d like to try his as well..
but anyway I do preferr to fing genuine TAP47/54 over bastardization of TAP47/52 repro....

I need a pair of trousers to go with my mint 47/53 smock too, but as that's for my collection and not for re-enactment I'll look for an original example.

I already did contact im, but no high hopes.... he made a limited run and I am afraid that his stock is depleted...

However good luck with TAP47/53 - demand is high X sources long time gone....

I d prefer original pants as well, but I need something fr airsofting too...

Yeah, it will be a challenge... but I'm in no rush. For now the smock looks nice on a torso stand.
