Re: Black SS breeches- some
These are Trikot. Whether they are truly SS is another issue, but they are nice and surely fit your uniforms.

Re: Black SS breeches- some
Breeches came in at least two weights of Trikot, if not more.....yes, the breeches tend to match the tunic, at least in a tailored uniform.

Re: Black SS breeches- some
There was a special heavy weight riding breeches Trikot, and others, in their number.......SS Trikot is so marked on the the bolts of cloth, or the breeches can have an RZM tag.....or not.....and on and on....
The key in my mind is the quality of tailoring of breeches, as there were specialty firms that made these, too. These look ok.
I am a textile nut, but most others have no idea of the proper terms.

Re: Black SS breeches- some
Sincere thanks F.B. for your input and considerations. I suppose dealers will always sell an item as SS if given the choice and opportunity; and impossibilty to prove otherwise.
As you have suggested on a similar topic previously:
"Your breeches there could be from a variety of III. Reich organizations, to include the SS. Without the tags and stamps, one has difficulty knowing for sure."
I would assume that a considerable price difference must exist for such items that have a (genuine) RZM tag and SS stampings to differentiate them from the other possibilities.
Your deep interest in textiles benefits us all. Some of us ignore these basic foundations at our own peril. Where insignia and buttons are not present we must rely on the qualities of the fabric and stitching to discern. As most surviving black SS tunics have been stripped of their insignia, what else have we to rely upon? regards, Paul

Varieties of army textiles, but of merit for others as well.

Re: Black SS breeches- some
Thanks again F.B. This really gives me something to run with. At the risk of sounding like a broken record (remember them?), your generosity in assisting novice collectors and sharing your philosophies and hard-earned experience is a boon for us all.
Recently I started reading threads under "SS Uniforms and insignia" from oldest to most recent. Some meritorius collectors and authors have come and gone. Thanks especially to you (and Adrian and Bob) for sticking around to put up with the new generation of collectors puzzling over the same questions of woolens of ever-increasing fetidness. There is more than enough material for a very interesting published volume or three. Regards, paul
