Mudtrooper Poncho

[kriegsmariner]

Has anyone found a good modern substitute to the plash palatka for a mudtrooper build?  I know they are fairly easy to find, but the military history nerd in me is resistant to the idea of redyeing a piece of older military gear.

my though is, since they ARE plentiful (at this time) its allowable to dye one, verus something like a WWI leather bandolier. That would go on the wall depending on its condition.
