Product Description
 
Wool uniform as worn by soldiers of the German Army from the middle of the War onward. The package includes the Heer M43 Feldbluse and M43 Keilhosen trousers. An M43 cap may be added for $30.
All of our uniforms are made directly from original example in our collection.
Insignia sold separately.

This is a Heer (Army) uniform: The Waffen SS had their own, slightly different model. Did the SS ever wear these? Yes! Occasionally one will see them in studio photos of SS troops- so it did happen.

Sizing and Length: Like most jackets, Feldblusen were made according to chest size and body height.
DRY CLEAN ONLY!

The Germans based the "length" off of the torso measure (Rückenlänge), the distance from one's neck to their belt line, which is at the center belt hook hole on a Feldbluse. In typical form, the Germans made a far wider range of sizes than most armies, one to fit every possible eventuality, which results in at least 20 chest sizes and 7 lengths, or 140 unique sizes. That is not practical to recreate, so we have condensed them into the most common 10 sizes. See the size table for the breakdown.
Here is an article explaining How German Feldblusen were sized in WWII.

Length: The approximate height ranges for each length are:
Short = 5'3" - 5'8" (Sleeve 23")
Regular = 5'9"- 6'0" (Sleeve 25")
Long = 6'1"- 6'6" (Sleeve 27")

Imported

Insignia: All versions of Litzen, breast eagles, rank insignia and shoulderboards that existed during WWII can be found in use on these tunics. Most often, they came from the factory with an "M43" breast eagle and gray, "generic" Litzen. Click here to see the German Insignia section
