WW2 German M43 Field Grey Wool Tunic - Premium

WW2 German M43 Field Grey Wool Tunic - Premium

Part of our Premium line of WW2 German uniforms, offering a superior finish and colour of wool as well as cut and finish. All of the small details such as markings on buttons and buckles to material and thread colour come together to set this range apart from other reproductions on the market.

Rapidly becoming the most commonly worn uniform after their initial introduction in mid-1943, these tunics represented a huge reduction in material and construction costs. Featuring woollen construction, artificial silk liner and historically accurate sizing stamps. 6 front Field Grey buttons, updated tunic hook mounting, removable shoulder boards and simplified pockets as you would expect on an M43 tunic, all in a high-quality wool with an excellent reproduction of Feldgrau. Following the staggered changes in the exact colour of Field Grey seen during the war, these M43 uniforms use a slightly browner tone with less green than seen on earlier war patterns such as M36 and M40, another example of the detail put into this premium range.

There is much discussion among reenactors as to the best material to use in woollen uniforms, from those who prefer a pure wool construction to various blends with polyester and more. For our Premium Uniform range, we have settled on a 70% wool, 30% polyester blend. Made to spec from the start, we use quality wool that hasn't been recycled from another process, before dying to an accurate shade with a polyester blend which matches the weight and feel of the material. With these managed steps and materials we are left with a repeatable quality and finish without the large colour variations between batches sometimes seen in other uniforms. We are confident these uniforms use some of the best commercially produced field grey wool material available.
