Here is the feldgrau thread I was referring to, listed on WAF for 20 €.
Do any of you know of a cheaper source?
Have a look on Klause's website, he has a threadroll of Fieldgrey for 9 Euro plus postage
Thanks for your suggestions guys. I have ordered the original feldgrau thread from Herr Butschek. I will return to this thread with more questions once I receive it.
Hi guys,
I got my thread the other day! It looks good and I'm glad I took your advice. Now for the sewing part... I know where everything goes. Any advice on the actual process of sewing it back on? Is there any specific kind of needle or period application technique I should use? I would appreciate close-up photos of the stitching on other original waffenrocks.
Good point Mo, best to see an example for stitching technique/style
before you storm ahead - and it was a better suggestion that
you find some 'affordable' period thread to use.........
Regards,
Steve.
Hi Mo,
Here is a good reference for you. It is a thread on cut off insignia still attached to uniform pieces.
Cut insignia still attached to uniforms.. - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums
Hope it helps.

I think you need to find another eagle to put on the tunic as the one you have is a officers eagle and it should have a other ranks eagle on it as the tunic shoulder boards are ranked to a NCO
