Description
When the German forces surged into North Africa in 1940, their traditional wool uniforms were simply not up to task in the blistering desert heat. By 1941, a solution had arrived: a lightweight, breathable tropical uniform made from cotton twill, ideal for the harsh environment. The Luftwaffe version, in its signature tan colour, quickly became the go-to gear for soldiers operating in extreme heat.
Our version of this tunic brings this timeless piece back to life. Every little detail of the original is captured, from its pebbled six-button front to its signature hook and eye collar closure. The cotton twill construction offers a cool, breathable fit for warm weather, while the distinct tan colour enables you to blend in fully with your surroundings. This is the perfect item to start building a reenactment kit around.
