I've double checked with my friend that owns the SS-Obergruppenfuhrer gray leather overcoat and it looks just like Gaspare's including the belt on the back. It has a snap out lining for added warmth and a Dresden tailor's label.
The officer corps, including the Waffen-SS, were given a clothing allowance to buy their uniforms, including raincoats and leather overcoats such as these. They had the freedom to chose and purchase what they wanted. That is why you see so many Waffen-SS officers wearing M36 style tunics, and not the classic SS M1937 style. The M36 was the preferred choice.
