Heer Cavalry Officer Uniform

[Vladislav]

There are many variations of the fabric. There also is a similar Dutch tropical cloth that was used for both factory and tailor made light weight tunics but this is different.

Not all the Grünmeliert fabrics are identical, the term only means "mottled" or "mixed" "green" and many many variations exist. It was used in DDR and as far as I know it is still being manufactured for utility fabrics etc.

The Grünmeliert used by tailors was different and higher quality than the issue fabrics.

I understand thanks for the explanation.this kind of type of tissue turns.

I think the tunic posted probably is original but it would be good to ask the Police collectors if they know the fabric is from the War period or before.

I agree, most likely totally original in a light weight cloth. Such tunics came in many materials,
German and "beute" cloth. It is a striped version of Grunmeliert...

I had an NCO Heer uniform in 1979 made in the standard Polizei-LW jump smock speckled cloth,
so it was not even exclusive to officers.

Unfortunately the speckled brown-green grunmeliertes cloth is not so clear in these old polaroid images...
but it is very similar!

I am sure that after the war this material was different.But I see sewing and it does not leave any red flags.It's made in the Studio to order.all very neat

I had a GBJ Tunic from exactly the same Material. Imo it is a very nice original Tailor made tunic. Congrats to this one

Yes, this is why I love German military uniforms

But what exactly you don't like? Sewing, material.

Forgive my ignorance, I have never seen this kind of fabric used for WH tunics before.
