Item Description
Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is an outstanding two piece, grey leather deck uniform in a variant pattern as worn by lower ranked Kriegsmarine personnel. The jacket, of heavy grey leather with a five-button front furnished with gray finished magnetic buttons, which are marked on the back with maker OVERHOFF & CIE with the <OLC> trademark at the bottom.
It has a band collar (with hook closure) and two adjustment straps on each sleeve having the same buttons, though it looks like the second button on both has been lost. The exterior has the typical lower hip pockets and one upper breast pocket, all with top flaps but no closure buttons. The interior is lined with heavy black wool, while the sleeves are lined with soft cotton, terminating in elastic wool cuffs. There is an internal horizontal slash pocket on the right breast, as well as a worn partial label at the back of the neck area, which unfortunately does not have any particulars visible any more.
The closely matching trousers are of fine grey leather having exterior brace buttons on the waistband. The front of the trousers has a button fly with a metal hook at the top, and the rear has an opening with leather sizing strap and metal buckle. They are fully lined with blue cotton twill cloth and they retain a partial maker label, which is marked with size Große 54.
Appearing to be based on a work uniform pattern, both garments remain clean and supple with some areas of wear and age. There is also a bit of mothing to the wool interior of the jacket.
A beautiful set, as associated with deck and U-boat personnel offered in very good condition.
