Developed based on field observation and soldier feedback, the 1942 smock pattern introduced tabs for suspending additional camouflage material, as well as a pair of integral pockets (instead of just slits in the smock for reaching tunic pockets). This smock is printed in a double sided pattern, green/brown/black "summer" colors on one side, burnt orange/brown/black "autumn" on the reverse, with sets of stitched-on matching colored tabs about the chest, shoulders and back, drawstring neck, elastic waist and cuffs, and a pair of reversible herringbone twill pockets with camouflage flaps and metal buttons. This specific tunic can be seen as "Figure C" on page 103 of "Camouflage Uniforms of the Waffen-SS" by Michael Beaver. A SS field cap in this sale (Lot [CWG913]) appears to be made of the same pattern of Plane Tree material.
