Roger. Unlike Heer factory produced wraps, IMHO there is no such thing as a textbook SS wrap. Each SS wrap is unique and must be evaluated on its own merits. Private purchase Heer wraps present their own challenges as well.

Se wrap were produced by at least 4 factories and each one has proper little details. I trust black wool was pretty civilian, materials are really different and in many situations you can find a very thin e soft trickot

I respectfully disagree. Let's not confuse this topic with semantics. There have always been two classifications; textbook and non-textbook. Textbook are accepted as factory mass produced, non-textbook are typically private tailor made, modified, field-made etc. The comment above was correctly made when it was stated that assembly of this wrapper is non-textbook.

However, let's be very clear; non-textbook in no way denotes anything being post-war. In this case, I like everything about this wrapper, and it indicates as stated a privately tailored piece for an officer. Most likely the tailor used a Heer template, which was the most common with tailors given how the wealthy class was mainly represented in the Heer.

In return, I respectfully disagree with your terms and definitions as they apply to my comments. These are your definitions not mine. My comments have nothing to do with "logical aspects of meaning" of words, but based on my own experience with these garments. If it was so easy to judge and categorize SS wraps then there would not be so many controversial threads on the topic.

I appreciate your assessment in paragraph 2, but please do not weave your semantics in your paragraph 2 into my prior post. My post is "IMHO", and therefore stands on its own and does not require interpretation by another party.

You missed my point. Ss panzer wrappers considered textbook have typically straight jacket openings, shorter top wraps, no central back seam, and usually smaller collars often rounded at the ends.

The semantics comment was in regards to two wrappers not being alike. Of course two items are never identical from a micro perspective. However, from macro perspective two items can be alike with variables such as those denoted above, and that is my argument supporting the textbook statement from our fellow collector.
