Welcome to the forum

Sounds like you are making them yourself? If you would need some original fabric you can PM me

I would date it 1945-47 year, I have seen a lot of this type cotton on the 1945 made NKVD type gimnasterkas, I think it's a German made cloth

Also correct type of the khaki color for the late shoulderstraps in 1945 year

Hi Dimas,
Thanks for your reply!
I also estimated the time of manufacture as early post war, but it is nice to get other opinions from more experienced collectors.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed.

Dim,

Take a close look at the reverse of the shoulderboards - the light tan color - characteristic of 50X, no?

I have tried to take some more pictures of the shoulderboards showing the colour more accurately....the following 4 pictures show the colour as it is in hand.
Hope this helps a little...it is more khaki/greenish than tan in RL (I think it is just my terrible camera skills)

That is WAY better Brett!

From the original images you posted, I viewed something of this sort (note the really tan fabric on the these 50X shoulderboards):
