FANTASTIC PZ SUIT
HOW MANY WERE PRODUCED ? HUNDREDS ?
WE KNOW THAT THEY (PZ) ALSO EXIST IN BE , AT TEN ?
WHY DID THEY STOP SO FAST THE PRODUCTION WHEN OAK REMAINED
THE MOST USED TYPE OF CAMO UNTIL THE END OF WAR ?

Could be the same fabric as the jump jacket
It's an odd denim type like this above

Great to hear it's only on the arms
Stuff like that is odd ball cool but typical !

Yes, from the pics I have seen of the dot jumpsuit and the one I have seen in person. It is very similar material,
I like variations to and used to try and collect them. There are too many variants though and cant have them all!!

[kammo man]

I don't agree !!!!


You can have them all .......

you just can't have other things also !!!!!!!!!

Well
My car is 14 years old. Just got married have 2 kids modest income etc etc etc blah blah blah
If I started collecting this stuff 40 or 50 years ago Instead of 30 years ago. Id have more. SS camo was cheaper and more abundant then.
I do have a some what representive collection.
It would be hard if not impossible to acquire what I do have. Somethings cost 4 to 6 times what I paid for them back in the day.

Congrats a lot with this very rare and sought after camo uniform Owen. It is a real treat to study the pictures.

Owen- amazing stuff, as always. You made a negative comment about the material itself- can you expand please? Also, I don't like the way the herringbone pieces lose alot of their camo colors- fade so much. Is that because the fibers did not absorb the inks as well as the earlier "duck" fabrics? Perhaps the thicker ersatz material did not have proper time to absorb inks and Persistol as it went through the rollers...meaning a slower print process maybe ensures better ink absorption? Thoughts??

To me the HB fabric is a summer fabric.
Great for those months in the hot sun but weak in winter.
It's a working denim style uniform and not really for formal parades.
Though some did make it nice
Died that answer your question. ?

Owen- yes that answered it in a roundabout way. I think what you are saying is that the herringbone fabric "breathes" better due to a looser weave, thus making it physically cooler for the wearer, which is best suited for summer wear. I am thinking that I could REALLY get a firm concept of this idea if you could send me a few of your pieces to examine for awhile...or not.

Frank,
I did send you some stuff a week ago but your wife has not given you the package because you have been a naughty boy.

[PanzerFrank]

Owen- a few things I forgot to ask...how long have you collected WW2 German camo (specifically SS), what was your first piece you put into your collection (even if it no longer is in your collection), and finally, do you have a favorite piece (and if not a favorite piece, a favorite pattern)??
Thanks for taking the time!!
Regards, Frank

Hmmm..I have ways of making her talk..G.E.S.T.A.P.O. Next time send it in care of Hermann Goering, since we share the same birthday. She needs to stop reporting my naughtiness to you!!
