I am François, founder and manager of ww2gear.

As far as I can remember, I have always been a WW2 history buff.

The ww2gear adventure started back in 2017 with the creation of the @ww2gear Instagram page. Since then, I have developed increasing interest for WW2 reenactment.

One thing led to another, and I quickly joined a U.S. Army reenactment group in Belgium : The BRO.

Simultaneously, I started creating repro gear for myself and a few friends, in line with the concrete needs of WW2 collectors and reenactors. It quickly became a serious business, which led to a full time job in 2020.

Since then, I have managed and shipped hundreds of orders all around the world, and collaborated with numerous reenactment groups and other militaria professionals.

Most products available on this webshop are handcrafted by myself or individual makers, which explains the limited assortment strategy.

I am a passionate person, working to enhance your passion.

Do not hesitate to contact me, and thanks for your trust! 😉
