Adressing reenactors SS pea patern jacket

[Peter Wiking]

I´m looking for photos or construction info on the REPRO pea pattern (dot) SS jacket in HBT material. The repro i want info on is of the period 1985 -> 1990.
This would help alot.

Thanks.

Hi Peter, I had one of these in 1988. Externally it looked good, but it did not have details like belt hook supports, correct lining detail or field dressing pocket. It was made in Britain (by the wife of Andy Colborne, the lad who ran/runs "2nd Battle Group") from German made repro HBT cloth. Buttons were original.

I might still have a pic of me wearing it, but nothing showing any great detail. Problem is, my scanner is down, but if I do find the pic I will have to take a photo of that.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Adrian. Post the photo when you find it. My one where bought by me at that time, but have all internal details as it should. Lining, beltsupport, field dressing pocket, markings...

I´m thinking of working out an article on the 44 SS Dot pattern jacket. Would that be an idea that could be supported ?
