    Largest Issue uniform Size?

    Got an odd one here, I had thought I had posted it here but I guess I haven't. Issue UG64 strichtarn summer top, second generation. I had operated under the knowledge/assumption that g60 was as big as they went, until I obtained this from a friend. Anyway, pictures speak louder than words, so here you go!

    And here it is next to a G60 uniform to show width differences -this is a BIG jacket (on the right with the collar liner and cap, if you can't tell). The angle and height differences are playing with the perspective here a bit, but still.

      Never saw such a "Tank Cover".
      BG 60 was the biggest I had.

            This post was prompted by a Facebook discussion that broke out over on Torsten's page, where several people mentioned having custom or tailor made articles in larger than standard sizes.

            So, does anyone else have something like this stashed away? I am typically pretty suspicious of "one off, nothing else like it" items but everything points to this being genuine. Therefore, I can't have the only one, the way these were cut and then later assembled (the purpose of the white stamp on each sized panel) should mean at least one batch was made, and there should be others at least from the same batch. I don't imagine many of these were issued before the wall fell, even if they never made them before or after.

              Largest FDA I have is G62! And it is normal construction.

                No doubt that this is genuine but very, very scarce and unusual

                  Wow. Size does matter. Never saw anything like it. Thanks for posting.
