Just received my kzs suit. I want to make sure I don't damage it at all. Knowing the fabric is a bit delicate, I want to make sure to be as gentle as possible with it. Can I leave it soaking overnight, or is there a better way to clean it?
Just looking for advice. Kit still feels incomplete to me.
NSFW/TW: strong language
I have always struggled with depression/suicidal thoughts, but lately, it's been too much to bear, and these thoughts/urges have been amplified, especially as people don't even see me as human and instead treat me like a throwaway joke and punchline.
Recent examples of this? My "friends" treat me like I can't hear them making snide comments about me being "retarded" and "weird" behind my back, one of the few dates I've been on recently contemptuously saying "you seem like a virgin" straight to my face, my mom saying "why don't you punch the other side of your face" after beating the right side of my face to a pulp due to pent-up frustration during a depressive episode, and my sister saying "OP would literally fuck a wall with a hole in it" to her friends on the phone within earshot of me.
Frankly, I'm done with it. I've always been an outsider, but not in a cool "bad boy" or "artsy" way, more like: "look at that fucking retarded loser" way. I have hobbies and things I enjoy, it's just... nobody around me in any circle I am in likes me. I participate in activities and in life to make friends and enjoy myself, but everything I do just makes me miserable, as people will always find a way to shit on me for being weird or autistic. I may just spend my last $400 to buy a gun and blow my brains out or overdose on medication. Either way seems fine to me, as long as I don't have to suffer another 60 years of abuse from everyone.
I posted this kit before, but this is my "finished" version of it (finished, as in maybe a few more accessories I might want to buy in the future).
Before anyone asks:
- I do plan on sewing a collar liner into my M88 jacket
- I may or may not buy a 6b2 vest. Money is kind of tight for me now, and I don't want to buy a cheap repro.
Anyways, critique is always welcome :)
Few things to note:
Still waiting on grenade pouch and canteen
- Yes, I will dye my rig
- Yes, I will (eventually) buy a Ssh68 helmet
- Yes, I will (eventually) put in a collar liner
(I also just reposted it because I realized the title was wrong)
(I still need to buy an AK74s)
Was having a beer and decided to do something beer related with my conlang lol

I am an amature collector and I have been reciveing conflicting answers on what this is. Some people are telling me this is a firefighter's uniform, others are telling me it's an obr.88 uniform? Thanks, in advance
