If you want to have a typical officer's uniform, this is not it. It looks like an EM issue uniform converted into an officer's field jacket. There is no fold-up cuff and the eagle is EM. Officer's did often wear such converted EM stuff as their field uniform, but in such cases, they typically did not change the entire lining and kept the cotton EM lining. It is completely relined, yet lacks the folded officer cuffs and has an EM eagle, making it an oddball combination that is not so comforting.

The tailor label on the pants is in Polish, not German, but I don't know anything about Polish uniforms, so I cannot tell whether the pants are Polish or simply Polish-tailored for a German officer
