Special Tunic?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

 

is it my imagination or are these waaaay longer than normal?

[The Prussian]

It IS longer, Chris, it IS!

Never seen! Not the distance between the pockets and the waistband of the tunic.

Please compare:

Very interesting

Chris, do you have a better scan? I´d like to see the cap (the upper cocarde).

Note the absence of the shoulder straps.

The pockets are not diagonal, but horizontal

These two are wearing their belts at their stomachs and not at their hips, but regardless, the skirts are longer from the hip pockets to the bottom edge of the skirt. The jacket length is one of the manufacturing criteria, so perhaps the long version was all the B.A. had on hand. They could be private purchase Blusen, but you would think if so, they would have altered the collars as NCOs often do on custom tunics.
