Thanks William. Good link showing the brushed cotton (Italian 'olona' material) with triangulated sewn tropical eagle and litzen as well as the typically seen zig-zag sewn tropical breast eagle....

Please correct me if i am wrong, but what i know is that when a tunic is partially lined it is a tropical one. Summer tunics have no lining at all.

Sorry for the delay in responding to this question which is very relevant to the discussion.
Here's a typical 2nd pattern lining....a telling comparison....

Hi MArk thanks. So do you agree with the above statement about the partial lining?
Here is my KM tunic. Also partially lined but in a different way. This is a very early, transitional tunic. Note the back flaps.

Ah...
But here we are in different territory. KM, LW and heer tunic patterns are quite dissimilar so I believe we should not compare them.
