oh ... tropical uniforms ... one of my favourite topics!!!

Are you looking for a complete impression?

If so, you definitely need a shirt. The tropical shirt was the first mass issued shirt for troops.
For an officer, a tropical tie would fit in nicely.
A choice of tropical breeches or straight cut trousers is up to you.

Then, DAK boots (2nd pattern are adequate for officers and more practical than the 1st pattern).
A leather officer's belt would complete the impression.

Most officer's wore the same standard issue as the Other ranks, with some field tailoring / modifications. If you're looking for a tailor modified pieces, or any DAK piece, send me a pm.

I'd happily help you out with any questions, so feel free to ask.
