Tropical set

[G43]

Hello all,

I'd appreciate thoughts on this wonderful tropical set. It comes with field blouse under shirt, tie and trousers. It looks good to me but second opinions always help! Thanks

All looks fine.

The tunic was made in Berlin.

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you Ade.

Good looking 2nd pattern tunic with panzer grenadier shoulder boards and all looks original.

Thank you Jerry.

Hello,
Yes all look original and in very good condition.
The shirt looks like a french M35 shirt of which many examples were worn by DAK troops.
If you dont own tropical boots, IMO straight trousers would be preferable than tropical breeches...
Thanks

Thank you for the added information. Why do you say that about the trousers? Unfortunately I do not have boots.

Great tunic

Hello,
you're welcome...
Breeches were designed to be worn with high tropical boots. They might be a bit short to be worn with tropical or leather ankle boots...and wearing them with Marschstiefel would look weird (i'm sure someone has a photo...).
My tropical Panzergrenadier (circa late 42/early 43) wears straight tropical trousers with mountain boots/mountain puttees).
And the shirt is definitely french
Thanks

Thank you. I see what you mean now. Are there examples of tropical troops wearing plain standard issue black knee high boots?
