Textiles
This extract is from the army clothing retail outlet in Berlin, but gives the best overview of textiles and their uses of which I am aware. Other listings do not include the customary use of said fabrics in such detail and variety.
Keep this for your reference. 
This list of textiles is from late 1939. Thanks to the more reflective and civic minded of the maroon site for this image.

Re: Textiles
One hardly need add that an officer bought the textiles from the clothing retail outfit and had their uniform tailored in most cases, though the SS had ready-to-wear garments for use through their supply system.
Watch the scene in Zuckmayer's Hauptmann von Koepenick where the Waffenrock is made for the fussy officer to see an example of such a uniform tailor. The scene is in You Tube, I think, in the 1931 and 1950s filming of the story.

Re: Textiles
A Kopfschuetzer is likely a ski cap kind of thing. It is a sweater like tube of cloth worn over the ears under other items of headwear, I think.

Re: Textiles
That would be my understanding too. Akin to what we in England would call a "Balaklava Helmet".

Interesting cufftitle with the OdalRune,, I learn something new here,,I guess it was reserved for the SS guys involved with the family owned farms of the Those who were of full Germanic decent. Blood and Soil theory. I have seen the Odalrune on a sleeve diamond but not on a Cufftitle.

Re: Textiles
I have never seen an Odalrune on a cuff title, either, truth be told. However there are many riddles in enigmas when you peer into these price list addenda that are appended to the RZM circulars, actually.
My point here, however, was the expose of textiles, not some footnote in one of the panoptikum of sources I appended.
Compare to the SS variety. This list is from late 1940. Thanks to Mr. d'Alquen for these extracts.
Attachment 437920
The same textiles are here, as well.
The entity of note was the SS Rasse und Siedlungshauptamt and its subsidiaries in their variety, with the blood and soil cult in German agriculture being but one branch of the whole.
