It's a T55 based replica from Poland.

best ive seen-superlative effort.
are all greatcoats with big collars repro? if yes, where from?

I would guess that most use big collar greatcoats from either Pirschen, or Gavin Militaria.

Mine is from Pirschen, but he no longer make ww2 uniforms though.

Absolutely awesome photos. I've traveled that area many times and always tried to imagine Grenadiers rolling though town on a Panzer. Thanks for posting. Nice conversion on the T55.

I do not know where the coats from these pictures came from - but you can get very nice "Wachmantel" with big collar from ZIB.

thanks for big collar greatcoat tips. i notice the antz ones used very nice wool, but big collars just dont sit correctly, almost collapsing in on their own weight, in my opinion, so hope zib ones mentioned are better made examples, with self supporting reinforced collars (anyone have a zib they can show here? hooded or non hooded examples?) once more, top pics, guys!
