Hello,

I am about to get this field jacket, which looks good to me, but since these are quite scarce, I'd be glad to have other opinions and comments.

Many thanks,

A correct, textbook SS tunic.

Never heard of an M4. I agree - looks authentic. What makes it textbook SS? And was it shortened or were they made that way? NH

The way the bottom of the lining meets the wool. Only seen on a late war M43 SS. The 5 button construction, also only seen on an SS issue tunic (Heer is 6 button) on tunics post M40. The 2 hole belt provisions, heer is 3 hole.

I like the look just as it is. Evokes 1946 when thousands of men wearing worn torn tunics like this were trying to get home and find any work available.
