I found an order on zip fasteners that might be of interest. It's a Reichsbefehl from 1936 (still in force in late-1942) and it states that zip fasteners were forbidden on party uniforms. The order is clearly a reaction to the practice of some manufacturers to add zips instead of the regulation buttons. The order specifically mentions the following items as being prone to the practice:

Winterbluse
Skihose
Stiefelhose
BdM Rock

Interesting, thank you Garry. I did not think about this before but yes, even though zip fasteners existed at that time you do not see them normally on NSDAP items

I have a winterblouse with a zip front I will post a few photos soon .
 
The pics on this thread and the other one referenced by Henrik are sports shirts or at the very least sports-related. I'd be interested in your zipped Winterbluse Joe because it is a uniform item specifically mentioned by the regulation.
