Waffen-SS HBT Dot Camo Uniform in Detail

[kammo man]

Thats is true in some regards.
But the overall 44 Dot suit is pretty well sewn together.
The sloppy sewing I have seen is when cammo loops are added to the pullovers.

The sloppy sewing I have seen is when cammo loops are added to the pullovers.

Speaking of pull overs (smocks) I find it interesting that on DOT 44 uniforms we easily accept all these variations in materials, Olona Italian with camo overprint, smooth cloth and the direct opposite of that, a course nettle weave fabric as shown in this amazing thread and lastly Dot 44 camo print on HBT .....(and combinations of such materials on the same garment even!)
BUT
on the other hand when it comes to pull-over smocks, any deviation other than early water proof Duck and later midwar HBT variants (due too shortages in quality materials) is frowned upon...(e.g. pink smocks topic).
Just a comment. No need to address that (an observation), as this is a thread on a different camo clothing item....but just saying!

Dumb statement about a non wartime produced non German made garment that has no bearing in this rhread

So, I made the error earlier on noting a mantel by "325". After digging it up again it is clear I made a error and it is really 525.

Here's something you don't see everyday.
A Germany Army officer wearing an SS Dot camo tunic.
And he has an SS enlisted mens sleeve eagle in place of an Army eagle above the right breast pocket.

With regads to the M42 SS tunic that Mike sold via his excellent Virtual Grenadier site: I used to own this very tunic and can guaramtee that the code nunber was in fact 349 not 849 as listed. This is also clear in the photo. I thus believe that it was produced in 1943. Also...the sleeve eagle and collar tabs were original to the tunic. Only the Sani piped shoulderboards and medical armband were added by myself. I hope this helps!

New number found that can be added: 849

Thanks, now corrected to maker number 349.

Checking my dot pants inside out found these reinforce strips taken even from the smallest left over scraps: reveals three types of fabric: the drillich HBT of the pants itself, the cotton duck in Oakleaf (or maybe blurred edge?)camo strip and coarse linen grade strip printed in dot with its 'red line' also present

Nice colorization!
Here's another variation, it even has a red line in the fabric (look on the second picture). I can recall someone here having the matching tunic to this material but I'm not sure who. But I'm sure Owen should have one

It's quite common to see SS HBT dot camo tunics and pants being made from several different runs of HBT dot material. In fact almost everyone I have examined is made this way. But this is the first time I have ever seen a scrap of "oak leaf" camouflage used. Very interesting!

Is there a makers code stamped in the waistline?
