              HBT is totally typical color and weave. What's unique is the front and rear vertical seam. Necessary when using oak material printed on fabric that wasn't wide enough to cut out the smock elbow to elbow.
              Late war oak zeltbahns made from this material also have material added to the corners for the same reason.

              Pink smocks are FAKE by the way

                  Yeah, the vertical seams make it very, very rare. I know HBT smocks frequently have had these seams, but I've never seen them on a non-HBT smock. Beautiful, very rare smock!

                      Its a great smock, I agree. Posters can hand wave characteristics away, but that does not change facts. Lighting can change appearance I understand, but the color of the pocket bags is different than most other German made smocks and the HBT weave is as well....no question to me. That means nothing to me as I also know different weaves of HBT existed.
                      Another fact is that the duck used in this smock is of a very different quality than that seen in the smocks made earlier. This weave is coarser and probably due to more substitute fibers.

                      I have never seen a true pink smock, but if they exist I agree that they are probably fake.

                        Also interesting are the colored buttons and non-keyhole buttonholes

                          .

                          Any news back from Bob with regards to Floch? Maybe he could elaborate if he had this smock made in the east and attatched to these strange green fake HBT pockets to make it real, theyre different, cant be real.....ive never seen it before....

                            Nothing unusual about the HB cloth pockets.
                            Pretty standard in color and weave

                              Just observations, but these details resolve the doubts. I tried to photograph the seams on the pockets.
