Very interesting. What do the lower snaps connect to? Photo of it in use? The design looks to be overly complicated and they must have determined a better use for all the snap buttons like more Fallschirmjaeger trousers.

Thank you.

Never made in large quantity cause field tests did not gone too well ( so they decided to discontinued them ); easy to wet and hard to dry quickly.

Werner Palinckx wrote about those in his newest book.

By the way; there were as well gloves and 'socks'( insteps ) made from the same felt.
