Luftwaffe Blue gray Summer Tunic

A unique Luftwaffe Summer Tunic for an all-around mid & Late-war Impression.
Based on the Luftwaffe 4 pocket service dress, the summer service uniform followed the same pattern as the Tropical uniform, issued at the same time. The Blue-gray gabardine cotton matches the weight and weave of the original surviving examples. We have copied the pattern directly from an original in our collection.
