repro tunic...devil in the detail?

How accurate does this look?

id say the belt hook holes are far too widely spaced and the breast pocket tops not dipped enough inwards-here they seem 180° when they should be slanted.

Seems a lot of room for improvement here...

i don't think so good... interesting the 2 angle immediatly copied...

[Peterm41]

Its the first time i see a copy tunic with 2 angle lining. Interesting. But expensive for a repro if you ask me
I would always prefer something original and you could find so Art. Waffenrock for just 100 more i guess

Up to you of course

two angle lining is an interesting point.
but when the breast pockets look like theyve been slapped on like two slices of white bread, with no cursory downward tilt, fixed square onto the jacket, purring at the lining details doesnt matter, imo
youre right, there are far more accurate repros out there for a much lower price. in fact, the same company is now making them, spot on it seems, and nowhere near as expensive, so good on you. imo these early repros are learning curve jackets that miss too many details.

The 2 angle lining of this fake shows how tendencies are important. Until the interesting trade on WAF nodoby or quite nobody care about angles if there were SS signs... Than speculation start and now continues in fake. At the moment is priced more a mint 2 angle never used than a 3 angle Ss used... Crazy. Moreover when there are proofs at least one exclusively SS contractors (Alois HelB) produced 36 with 3 angle. This is the market.

Its interesting you are noting the lining. But my point was the breast pocket top flap positioning...anyone want to chime in about that?

Yeah the word is out and that revealing thread never even got pinned for some reason...
I believe that the author of that eye opening thread is from ATF actually, the owner of the "Texled" line.
I am the proud owner of such a 2 step lined SS tunic.(albeit restored).

Breast pockets are slanted IMO it is just in this photo they look like they are not because the photo has been taken from a very low point.
By the way to me this tunic looks like a very nice and accurate reproduction, just a bit too sparking new though it is sparking new
Regarding the two-angle lining, the ATF company were the first who noticed(discovered) this future on SS tunics (not collectors), they wrote an article about it on their website a long before collectors have learned from them http://www.atthefront.com/german/uni...nuniforms.html

One detail got missed...the first aid bandage pouch button slit is vertical.
On the SS contract it should be horizontal (supposedly)

Yes, that's ours. The widely spaced belt hook holes are common on SS M40/ 41 tunics- specifically M.Mayhoffers. The pockets are die cut with the 1.5cm drop- the reason for the drop is so they will appear level when worn. If the pockets are rectangular, the curve of the chest makes them appear angled when worn. If the tunic is laid flat, the angle is more visible.

In certain ss contract. 2 steps and horizontal
'M ripetitive but there are SS contractors who makes Ss uniforms since 35 who makes m36 in three steps. The theory of 2 steps it's OK but Ss contractors produced also ib standard lining cut.
