hmmm cant say too much about jacket (looks british - but i dont collect them

but picture is very suspicous - this pictures from "russian archives or museums' are too cheap to be true.. and too popular - you can buy tons of them in Poland... i think they are reproductions ..
just my $0.02

Hi Guys, the jacket is not British, but is Italian. They are called " Sahariana" . Jackets of this pattern were popular with all braches of the German Armed Forces, but mainly with the Luftwaffe and SS. The shoulder yoke which forms the pockets flaps is very distinctive.

Cheers, Ade.

Mr.Adrian is offcourse right.
I have one you guys can view at the SS forum.
The thread is called something like: Show us your SS uniform! or something like that.

Best regards: Hasse.M

That is a tropical Italian uniform, not to be confused with the SS " Sahariana" ,The collar is diiferent as are the cuffs and the built in belt. I had a nice Italian uniform group with a tunic,
