    Sorry to be a bother but now that I am hung on details of the 1915 Vereinfacte rocks, does anyone know or can check as to whether the earlier features of the M1907/10 tunics like adjustable waist and removeable side hooks were still present, or did the Vereinfacht tunics tend to adopt the other simplifying features of of the M1913 Landsturm-style tunics like sewn-in side hooks?
    In the example that I have, the lining (including the sleeves) are issue type greyish cotton (no white upper) no waist adjustments ever present, sew in belt hooks.

    I also have a Landsturm style with the same characteristics as listed above, but it is dated 1915.....so could be pre or post Vereinfact tunic type as these Landsturm styles were made both in the few months preceeding the Official switch and in the few months after they were discontinued in July 15 and the Bluse was adopted.....it is interesting that my example of the Vereinfacht tunic has Swedish cuffs with the 1907/10 style button closure and not the tab that is normally associated with the Landsturm tunic and the .

      As phild suggests, the 1907 belt suspension system was gone by 1913, so all of the 1915 simplified tunics should have the sewn-in belt hooks.

      I have a 1915 dated Württemberg infantry tunic that has the early war Swedish cuffs that predate the barrel cuff. The first manufacturing simplification that the Württembergers made was to standardize all of their infantry tunics to the Swedish cuff. Before the war, there was a mixture of Swedish and Brandenburg cuffs, which varied by regiment.
