Hi Gran,

Nice to see your name again! These breeches could be early Political; I've seen a photo or two of early SA members wearing corduroy breeches like these, as well. They would be too early to have an RZM tag in them.

Cheers, my friend,

Actually, corduroy breeches were authorized to be worn by the SA, NSKK, and NSDAP (at least) during the RZM period, so these are usually labeled. I've seen several matching corduroy SA tunics over the years -- they're not listed with the corduroy breeches in the 1936 RZM Herstellungsvorschrift so I'm not sure if they were unofficial or earlier or later. The 36 RZM reference is the only one I have at hand at the moment.
