did the officers or normal men ever wear the panzer wrap whit riding pants in ss or heer. eany pic i have never seen

The short PanzerJacke was worn with breeches and riding boots by Officers,as many period photos prove.
I believe it was non-regulation as the effect was,in my opinion, not very elegant but rather comical.

yeah thanks i did think so to it must look funny the short panzer wrap and breeches

Wear of the "wrap" with breeches is fairly easy to find in the photographic record. As already stated it was the officers who seemed to have this tendency.

A notable Army "Tiger" Battalion commander, (whose wrap was recently purchased by a collector..pictures shown on the "other" forum) Seems almost never to have worn panzer pants, but wore field gray breeches w/ the black wrap.

Wilhelm Schmalz, Commander of the Hermann Goring Division (and later HG Korps) often wore a wrap..always with breeches.

Best, John

thanks that was good info one more question about general pants panzer i meen did the have the red stirpes on the sides i dont think they thit but.

here is a photo with breeches in leather and field grey pants.

Although the black Pz uniform was considered a "working" uniform and not a dress or going-out uniform it became increasingly popular. Officers even wore daggers with the uniform.

still another

Scarves were also worn with the black Pz jacket

Now those fellows DO look smart,especially the Officer w the dashing,white silk neckerchief....
Just not w Breeches please.
