Felt hoods

[Jolly Roger]

Hi,

I wanted to bring up a topic that is not too often discussed which is these rare winter felt hoods:

I believe not to many others have been posted. From the pictures I have seen I believe this to be an SS item. Please let me know what othrs think.

Best regards

One more photo to support my theory. This shows two felt hoods relatively clear. The front flaps have been rolled down and attached with the lowest button nipple of the flap.

Also these hoods haveno makermarks. They are size stamped inside with 1, 2 or 3 just like helmet covers and the charkow parkas.

I have not seen this on non-SS clothing (correct me if I am wrong with my last statement).

This is indeed an exclusiv SS garment for extreme cold weather.
I have the same in good condition (will post pics later)
I saw few of them also marked " SS-BW"
