Hi Everyone,
Just wondered if anyone has seen anything like this before? It is very similar in style to the HJ/DJ Winter Blouse - same fabric, typical buttons (metal ones are marked Overhoff & Cie; black ones, unmarked).
However, notice how the lower half of the front is open - no buttons or other form of closure. Also, there is an overhanging section of cloth to the reverse (essentially an extension of the collar) in the manner of naval dress.
Any thoughts as to who would have worn such a top?
Some vaguely similar is shown on p. 175 of the Littlejohn HJ book. Similar in that the jackets shown have the upper connecting ties (with a button at each end).
Recently picked up in Germany along with an HJ raincoat/cape and a brownshirt.
Thanks for looking.
Best,
Toby.
