I sell some repro tunics, and I would really like to see the inside of the breast pockets on this dienstrock: look for interfacing I REALLY suspect this an Hong-Kong made dientsrock (probably a 2008 production). Can I see the "dagger hanger" details?
As for the fabric itself, there is nothing wrong with trikot (gabardine) for officers. The twill is allright, but I need to see the koppelhaken (the belt ramp-buttons) at the back. I've provided the originals major Asian makers are now using to make their repro: they were so stupid that they eliminated the pebble grain and they judged it was "not necessary" to copy the SS/RZM markings under the buttons because "most of it is covered by fabric when installed" *sigh*
One Italian crook bought a few gabardine tunics from me last year (or maybe 2 years ago) and he aged it beyond any "reasonable" level to pass it as 7000Euros originals... he even removed the interfacing inside of the pockets... but it left traces. I now put a few hidden ink stamps on the faux-silk liner to avoid such thefts, That guy is still in business and people with no real knowledge are still falling for his stuff...
