SS dot trousers: cotton version

[Fred Fokkelman]

I would like to share some pictures of these extremely nice pants I have. They are the counterpart of the HBT version and much rarer, especially in this condition.
The pockets are partial lined with the HBT camouflage material.. very interesting feature in my opinion.

Hey Fred and John,
I want to say those are a super pair of pants! This is one question that I hope you guys can answer, everytime I see a pair of these or HBT for sale I always pass even if the price is right thinking that these came matching to a tunic, wrapper, etc. Were these issued with their top part? I seem to think that I should be after a "set" rather then just half.

Thanks for sharing,
Michael

Hi MGN,

That's a very good question and I am afraid I cannot answer it satisfactory.
Looking at contemporary pictures I would say both. Sometimes one can see units dressed in a complete uniform and sometimes only with the trousers or tunic. There are matching sets available, though not many. Some of those matching sets are sold separately because it sells better.

I forgot: thanks guys for the positive remarks. I am very happy with these pants!
