I dont know if there is a name for this kind of tunic, but I do know for a short period early on but after the time hitler spent in landsberg....the SS and SA both wore brown uniforms till the ss changed to black. This may be during that period, to me it resembles the Ike jacket, but is double breasted but is an SS tunic just the same. Kinda looks like a panzer wrap .
Someone may have a name for the style, but its a interesting photo....is there more to tell where this may have been taken or is this all you have ?

Typically the permanent cadre at AHS locations wore the specific sleeve triangle reading AHS and the location, and shoulder straps piped in white with white AHS in script. A Shield shaped breast pocket insignia was also worn, misidentified as a "Standardbears" patch in Angolia's H.J.. Cuff titles were not used to identify AHS cadre or locations. The LBA did use cuff titles on their tunics, but none that I am personally aware of that read Adolf Hitler.

From my resource books that I was able to look through, I saw no mention of SA members wearing a cufftitle for Adolf Hitler. In Jill Holcomb's book "The SA: A Historical Perspective", on Page 190 there is a list of 26 different known cufftitle to be worn and the one from the picture here doesn't fall on that list!
