Fakes coming out of Eastern Europe

[Johnny R]

Most of you guys know about this fabric, but if there are people out there who don't here is a link to an example. This is some type of military fabric from the 60's with a ribbed weave.

Does anyone know what the fabric is or was from?

I have seen better from Eastern Europe.
Fortunatly materials and construction appear to be very bad
I don't know where the fabric is.

Hello to the land of beer, cheese and brats!

I believe some time ago there was some discussion on this forum about these East European Repro's. What I remember and what I see on Ebay is what was discussed as bad. The wool material shown I believe is not a good sign, but I remember somebody saying that the bluish color liner was something to stay clear of. I am far from being and expert on anything SS, but I have not seen this in the material in the Heer/Army uniforms. Smarter people on the forum will give you a better answer. Personally I have some suspicions with this uniform.

Uniform

The uniform is 100% garbage, nothing is right about it but still people are biddding on it, everything in this cloth is postwar. They did not have the technology to produce a fabric like this in WWII. I am showing it as a warning.
