Last December I found a website for a company in France called "Sinologie". I ordered a cotton Mao jacket in Khaki/green and some "Tai Chi slippers". The order was promptly lost in the mail, and I even had to fill out a form from the French Postal service to investigate the case. Sinologie wanted to "investigate" before sending more goods out. I forgot about it until about three weeks ago, when I reminded the company. They resent the order and this time it arrived safe and sound in about a week.
The slippers are awesome. They are a fine substitute for the Green Chinese Army shoes that cost about <$1 in China but are impossible to find here. The soles are made of layered cotton, and being as comfy as they are they probably won't last long.
As for the tunic, by "Khaki green" I was expecting Khaki with a green tinge, but when I opened the jacket it was about like US late WW2 OD. The cut is very nice, and it works for a late war officers tunic. While it looks better than the late 80's Chinese uniforms for sale everywhere, I may order another in grey and dye khaki it myself.
