brayney , well spotted , and thank you for posting ! At last , it seems someone has got the colour of the general issue Windjacke correct ! Im not sure a desert version ever existed but I'm willing to be corrected on that one . Colour and cut are fine , it's just down to the material .....

You're right, the reed green and the bog green version were made but the tropical version made with the Luftwaffe style colour material is fiction, it could have been made by private tailor if one had the money for it (You always have to allow for those exceptions :roll: ), but it was never issued.

You'd hope it was the correct material for that price :shock:

Looks better than most Chinese copies at double the price, I'd be willing to try it, you won't get a half way decent original for less than €600....so I guess we'll see.

Had a reply from the vendor today about the materials used in the Windjacke - 100% Italian cotton , but , and I quote " it's impossible to make it from the same material as the originals " ... I wondered why it was in Menswear ....the quest goes on ..... :roll:

Yeah it says cotton in the description...but why don't they make it from the same material as the Zeltbahn or drillich copies, would be a lot better.
