can some one please tell me was the black allgemeine overseas cap made of the same wool as the black tunic?? kindregards

All the black Allg.SS overseas ("side") caps I've seen are a slightly coarse but smooth wool; never seen any where the weave is apparent.
Tunics are either "ribbed" or whipcord/tricot wool, or the smooth wool of the side cap.
I'd be suspicious of any side cap of ribbed construction -- but then my experiednce is limited. Experts should weigh in here.
Do you have pix?

The 1934 caps I have owned were rendered in the kind of black wool that one does find in Einheitstuch tunics, that is plain wool. The weight of the cloth might be somewhat lighter. I have not seen such black Schiffchen in trikot. I posed Darryl's side cap in another thread. It is entirely typical of the genre. The fakes are of a lighter weight of cloth, in fact.
