Historical Information about the Luftwaffe 4 pocket tunic

The tuchrock was the standard service and going out jacket for all Luftwaffe personnel since it's formation. Later on, it was issued along with the fliegerbluse for formal / dress occasions. Both officers and enlisted men could buy private-purchase jackets made from finer Tricot Material that was comfortable to wear in office and while flying. Well into the war, flying troops kept to these tunics against regulations as can be seen from photos of Pilots and Fallschirmjager during the invasion of the Low Lands.
