Re: SS field jacket....maybe
Materail can be war time (im not familiar with this camo), field made items are hard to authenticate, because people made stuff post war.

Re: SS field jacket....maybe
I don't think those buttons are WW2 German...possibly post war German.....snaps look post war....4 hole buttons look like post war British......colours of cam look very vibrant, I reckon this was made in the last 20 years using repro Italian cam, and modernish buttons and snaps.....could be an early reenactors peice or a jacket somebody made for hunting or just fun!

Re: SS field jacket....maybe
It's just my opinion, but the snaps look exactly like the 1970's OD bush jacket I had when I was in the Army, the 4 hole buttons look like the British buttons found on their gear....it really looks like one one had it made up using what was to hand....the stitching even looks the same
I like the look of it, just for fun, but I really can't see this being WW2 German!!! It may not glow under a black light, but there are really no hard and fast rules on that much more...I think it's only really a tool/guide nowadays

The snaps look postwar German to me and the buttons look like postwar British i would say it has been made up from a wartime Italian zelt for someone doing Living History , this happened alot in the 1980s as there wasnt any good makers of copy German uniforms or camo clothing , There was alot original italian Zelts still for sell so someone has made it up for their own use ,

Re: SS field jacket....maybe
Sounds about right..made from Italian Zelbahn into modern jacket.

Hi Guys, Steve nailed this on page 1.
1970's Italian Army jacket. I used to own one with matching trusers.
Cheers, Ade.

Chest pockets and snaps look like the BW Feld Bluse.

Thanks Ade!!!!
That makes sense now......looks a lot like Australian Army bush jackets from the 70's......construction wise
