Pockets for field grey M40 and M43 tunics

[Guest]

Hi. I have a couple of M40 and m43 Heer and SS tunic which have had pockets removed ( I guess as part of the ex POW system following the war. I am desperate to part restore them but simply can't find any worn field grey pockets anywhere . Can anyone help steer me on an appropriate direction ;-) ?

Your best bet would be to troll German eBay for a few totally destroyed tunics and buy them for parts and take the pockets off. Matt

Good luck! Finding wool or even pockets to match in color, size and wool nap will be a full time job for the rest of your life.

I believe pockets are different sizes and depended on the size of the tunic.

Best wishes, Good luck Gute Jagd!!

If you truly want to do this, I would sacrifice the worst condition tunic and have pockets tailored from the material.

Only though if the wool is a reasonable match.

Lets be honest, the chance of finding a wrecked tunic for each of the ones you mentioned for the express purpose of
removing the pockets would be super, super hard.If not impossible.
