Tunic Maker

Post by pzrwest »

I just picked up this new repro M36 tunic at an army surplus store and trying to figure out who made it. It looks alot like my sturm but the material feels lighter, there are no size stamps in the right inside flap, the buttons are not the same as my sturm the new tunic the buttons have a circular pattern on the backsides of the buttons also the sleaves appear to be curved and come to the bottom edge of the hem of the skirt of the tunic where my sturm the sleaves were shorter than the hem. I have compared it to picks of a hong kong keith tunic and it doesn't resemble the HK Keith one in cut or color. It came with the usual arty boards. Here are the links to my photo bucket where there are large pics of the tunic.

looks like a keith number.. one way to tell is the sewing on the buttons.. the h.k. one's are usually crap and need to be re-sewed or they fall off easily...
