After some trial and errors I finally finished my DRK DAK uniform. I worked only with two pictures and some informations from the red cross book.
Its made of mercerized 100% cotton fabric (color tan) and cotton tread. I then dyed the uniform in the washing-machine and out came a rather authentic looking color!
I made a second uniform made of a thicker 100% cotton fabric and dyed it with the same color .... out came a color not so good looking as the first one. I may use it for reenacting in colder temperatures.
The red cross brooch, wounded award and the Rittberghaus emblem are originals.
The Afrikakorps and Eiserne Kreuz are repros.

a good roll in some dust, let the sun fade it and a case of sunburn and it will look as if you have served in afrika for 6 months

The color will fade in the sun like the original uniforms did. Dust it will collect this summer.
Sunburn I had already 2 times this year .....
