Please read here about the proper fit of the jacket.

The Luftwaffe Troppenrock or tropical coat was introduced in 1941, not long after German forces under the command of Rommel were deployed to North Africa. This jacket has four patch pockets with un-scalloped flaps, the chest pockets are pleated and docked, but the lower pockets are not. The jacket has a six-button front, but only the bottom 4 or 5 buttons are usually used, the lapels being worn open, often with a black tie. In addtion to the sixth button at the throat, a tab under the right collar allows the left lapel to fasten under the collar when the throat is closed. There is also a hook for the collar. One feature that really distinguishes the Luftwaffe tropical jacket from the hot weather jackets of other branches of the WW2 German military is the unusual fake french cuffs on the sleeves. The cuffs have a fake turn up, but are actually functional and close in the usual German manner. All the buttons are brown and are the removeable type found on all German "cotton" uniform jackets of the period. The interior of the jacket has a partial lining and a field dressing pocket located in the right front of the jacket skirt. The back of the jacket has the usual center vent and central seam.

The Lost Battalions Luftwaffe tropical jacket is a completely faithful reproduction of the original right down to the removeable buttons and lives up to our reputation for making the very best reproduction German uniforms.

A word about our fabric.
Because there was such a wide color spectrum used in the original uniforms, we make these uniforms in various shades and sometimes we vary the weight of the twill. We've gotten positive and negative feedback from different customers on the very same pieces, saying the color does or does not match with an original item they have in their collection. It's impossible for us to make and stock every known shade of Luftwaffe khaki-braun and we cannot guarantee shade choices.
