The tunic is fitted with Brass Prussian Buttons.The left chest is fitted with ribbon bar and badge loops (a Wound Badge in Silver is included). Interior has a dark gray twill silk body with a single interior pocket at the waist. Sleeves are lined with an attractive yellow cotton.
Imperial German Feldgrau uniforms are incredibly hard to find, especially Enlisted Uniforms. Aside from the attrition of clothing worn in the trenches, much was burned as a result of the Spanish Influenza Pandemic and lice infestations. What survived was either worn out by veterans who repurposed their old uniforms as everyday clothing following the bleak years during the massive depression that raged throughout Germany, or, was simply repurposed or converted for use with the Reichswehr. It is for these reasons that on the collector’s market today Imperial German Officer’s uniforms are far more common than enlisted. While enlisted uniforms were either destroyed, worn out, or repurposed, officers' uniforms, on the other hand, were generally preserved by the veterans and their families, who could simply afford to do so.
