Biggus_Maximus_XIV Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I am currently In the process of creating an impression of Imperial German Marine Infanterie. (More specifically, 2nd Marine Infanterie Regiment.) So far I've located everything I need, except for a few things. My main concern at the moment is acquiring Litzen. The issue with this, is that no-one seems to produce or know anything about Marine litzen, let alone litzen in general. Any information you have on litzen would help me tremendously. Patterns, fabric, sewing tips, literally anything. I know it'll be difficult, but if I can I intend to make a set myself If I can't find someone who makes them. Below, I have included examples of the Litzen in question. They are off-yellow with a feldgrau center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I wish you luck. It’s hard to find much information an the troop’s uniforms. There are a couple of nice photos in the book “Field Grey Uniforms of the Imperial German Army 1907-1918” by Baldwin and Fisher. see shots from book. You may find insignia on websites This is an officer’s tunic and Shako. The officers wore white and silver litzen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all I need to do is figure out what type of fabric to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hello, to make the Tunic you need Wool cloth , the Litzen were made either of cotton or flax thread . this later is a type used currently for the manufacture of the inner part of the waist in Man trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdacbob Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) There is a website I used several years ago that carried the old style garde litzen. http://www.prussianglory.com/uniforms_and_equipment_4 Edited September 19, 2021 by sdacbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
