white langhemd

[george nieuwenb]

I am looking for pictures of a geman shirt called a langhemd it was worn under the m36 fieldjacket . it was white and has no collar ,I think 3 buttons ( you had to pull it over your head to put it on ) from the collar.
so I need detail pictures to have me one made in china for reenactment.
thanks in advance

thanks, but is'nt there anyone who has pictures of the real thing?

The shirts are the same as the one on the reenactor site, they were issued from 1933-1941 and then were replaced with a collared shirt ranging in colors from Green to gray, someone may post a photo, more often than not private purchase shirts were worn as well. These are rare now but I know some WA members have real examples. I have never heard the term Langhemd? They had the Heershemd (what you are looking for) and Nachthemd from the RH.

Be cheaper and quicker in the long run to just buy one from Lost Battalions. Their stuff is pretty close to the original as you will get without buying an original one. Since it is just going to be used for re-enacting

The Polizei had these white ones issued at least till the end of 1943. I have an original unissued set (Trikothemd & Trikotunterhose) with the factory sample tag dated November 1943 and stamped as polizei-issue

[george nieuwenb]

thanks for the pics but this shirt is the trikot shirt as Ernst-h stated. this fabric is stretchable, as cotton is not and the cottonone is the one I mean
this trikot is also offwhite to yellowish and the cottonshirts are white.
so anyway thanks for the pictures and is there an other forummember who has the cottonshirt?
greetings George

What's your point.

The shape of the shirts is the same. Only different issue stamps and such. So the shirts were at least produced untill end 1943....so WH soldiers could have worn them at least till that date too.
