An unseen type of material on a Luftwaffe Einheitsfeldmuzte

Hi there,
I haven't come across an M43 made of this material before, is it a variation on the lightweight summer version or total fake?
Cheers
Jay

It's a captured Dutch cloth

Thank you Dimas!!
It looks original to me but the cloth threw me!

Hi LondonJay, this cap is undeniably good and the cloth is just another kind of not-so unidentified cloth.The coarse weave is typical of a certain kind of cloth (definitely NOT from Nederland) which was widely used by a certain Army. I don't want to disclose anything that could be of help to fakers, therefore contact me thru PM for further info.
