SS M43 Tunic
Throughout the War, the SS was in constant competition with the rest of the Wehrmacht for supplies of all kinds. In order to circumvent the supply problems with regular contractors, the SS set up their own factories in labor camps and ghettos to produce uniforms and equipment for their troops. Many items differed somewhat from their "Army" equivalents in minor details and materials. Most were simplified to speed up production. Our reproduction SS M43 tunics have all the details of the originals: 5-button front, hook and eye collar, darts, 2 belt hook holes per station, acetate lining, split cuffs, first aid dressing pouch, and shoulder board loops.
Tunic w/ EM insignia $125.00Basic Insignia Sewing Included
The price of German Tunics includes sewing service for one pair of EM collar tabs and an EM breast or sleeve eagle for no additional charge. Other insignia, awards or alterations are extra cost. Sale and closeout items are exempt unless otherwise noted.Two very important notes regarding insignia sewing:
1. Sewing of insignia may delay the shipping of your order for 4-5 days.
2. Any uniform which has had insignia sewn on is subject to a 30% restocking charge if returned. Any additional sewing charges (such as for cuff titles or tresse) are not refundable. (There is no charge for sewing on EM collar tabs and an eagle.)
Why a restocking fee? When a uniform is returned, we will have to remove the insignia and it and the uniform will have stitch holes which render them "used".
Therefore, if you are unsure of your size, we urge you to try it on first and then return it to us for sewing.
For more details and sewing rates go to the Insignia Sewing page.
Alterations: The sleeves are approximately 36" on most sizes. For people 5'10" or taller, it's not usually a problem. If the sleeves need to be shortened more than 3/4", the best way is to remove them and cut them at the top and put them back in. We can do this, but it's a lot of work. We prefer not to shorten these (or make any alterations) until you have tried your uniform on which means you'll have to send it back to us. Check the sewing page for details and prices.
