Hi Alex
Get the book published by Verlag on the Reichswehr it has everything in it.
A brief summary follows..............
1919 new uniform regulations published alongside the formation of the provisional Reichswehr. This included a new cut of tunic based on the WW1 tunic but universal for all ranks.
Circa 1920/21 with the formation of the 100,000 man army a new cut of uniform with 8 buttons on the front, breast pockets and slanted hidden bottom pockets. Again made from field grey cloth.
Around 1927/28 introduction of the new tunic after field trials of six front buttons and also a walking out/dress tunic that had been omitted before. This had branch piping down the front and eight buttons.
This model carried onto the TR period with the introduction of the 1933/34 style of tunic.
Really basic introduction I'm afraid and I am in way an expert but hope it helps.
There a few threads of the uniforms in the forum if you search.
cheers
Tony

Hi
have a look at this thread as it lists a lot of books that may be of interest to you.
I have also shown some of the 1919 uniform regulations, of which I am fortunate enough to have an original example of.

Hi Tony,
thanks a lot for your answer.
It would be great for me if you post a readable photo of page 12,13,14 (Bekleidung section) of your book where explain the Feldrock and other blouse.
Regards,
Alex
