            I got one of these leather jackets in 2013 from a man who served on Sepp Dietrich's staff. It has a stand up collar and field grey buttons. No provisions for shoulderstraps, nor badges. (personal preference). Said jacket he wore since the Winter of 1943/44.

            He kindly inscribed it for me on the inside of the jacket with a silver Sharpie.

            They might not be fancy for display, but were a favorite amongst the men who were able to get their hands on one. A great protector against cold wind and rain.

            Cheers,
            Markus

                That's correct Patrick. The primary reason these were implemented for armored personnel especially in the 12. SS-"HJ" was protection against fire.

                My buddy lost his first panzer wrapper when his vehicle was straffed at Normandy. His vehicle went up in flames and one comrade was killed.

                Cheers!
