M42 Feldbluse question

[keifer kahn]

Hi Guys,



Justa quick one,

Whats more common in a M42 feldbluse?

Cotton lining or Rayon?

Thanks for your time,

KK

From what I have seen (and own) the majority is rayon.

Spun rayon, cotton like the earlier tunics or any other type of material is rare but was used.

Agree with the gents above but flat and ribbed cotton linings have been observed, on occasion, in both Heer and Waffen SS M42 field blouses.

Am in agreement with the knowledgeable types who have opined here, the majority will have rayon linings but have even seen ribbed cotton in M-44s.

Thanks for the additional input,

I do remember viewing a thread of Glenn,s showing an m44 with a cotton lining.
