M42 Late-war Wool Greatcoat

Very late war model of simplified Greatcoat worn at the end of the war by German ground forces. Coat is made of extremely authentic, late war, brownish-grey wool and features the larger collar. It is a double-breasted with 12 buttons, French cuffs, two curved flap front pockets and raw edge hem. The back has the full length pleat which ends in a long central vent that can be closed by four small buttons. The belting arrangement across the back, combined with two small button tabs on the outer back give the illusion of a triple back pleat. The lining is the correct grayish brown material and all 20 buttonholes are the correct "corded keyhole" type. Buttons and loops on the shoulders allow for the appropriate shoulder straps to be attached.
