I've got several original photos of this type of short, double breasted jacket used by the KM. This photo was taken on board a Destroyer.Last edited by CollectRussia; 11-08-2005, 04:26 PM.

These leather jacket were not so much worn by the Waffen-SS. The more common type used is the one with the central seam and buttons. These were popular with the Hitlerjugend division as depicted before and during the battle of Normandy. The fact that many tank crews preferred leather jackets was because it did not burn so quickly.
The mentioned leather jacket and pants are naturally being sold as SS garments as it has a neater price tag. A lot of these items are being sold as SS or converted to it. Indeed the SS did wear these items, but it was surely not a typical SS garment.
