WWII German M40 Feldbluse Wool Tunic – Repro Heer Infantry Uniform Jacket

Product Description

The M40 Feldbluse represents one of the most recognizable German Army field tunics of World War II. Introduced as a simplified development of the earlier M36 tunic, the M40 retained the classic early-war pocket style while replacing the contrasting dark green collar with a matching field-grey wool collar. This reproduction captures that important transitional look, making it a strong choice for infantry, field service, and early-war Heer impressions.

Constructed from a dense 80% wool blend, this tunic has the weight, texture, and drape expected from a quality WWII German uniform reproduction. The front features a five-button closure with textured buttons, four pleated front pockets with button-down flaps, belt hook holes, cotton lining, and internal pocket space for field dressings or small personal items. The included white-piped infantry shoulder boards complete the standard Heer appearance while allowing customization for reenactment or display.

When worn, the tunic gives a structured military profile without looking costume-like. It pairs well with field-grey trousers, jackboots, low boots with gaiters, leather field gear, helmet, cap, and reproduction insignia for a complete WWII German Army infantry impression. On a mannequin, it displays cleanly as a recognizable early-war Feldbluse, suitable for collections, museum exhibits, theater, and film work.

History

The M40 Feldbluse was introduced in 1940 as the German Army moved toward simplified wartime uniform production. It replaced the earlier M36 tunic’s dark green collar with a matching field-grey collar, reducing manufacturing complexity while preserving the recognizable pleated pocket layout of early-war uniforms. Worn by Heer ground troops across multiple fronts, the M40 tunic is an essential garment for German Army infantry impressions from the early and middle years of World War II.

This WWII German M40 Feldbluse Field Grey Wool Tunic is a strong choice for reenactors and collectors who want a historically recognizable German Army field uniform jacket with practical reenactment value. With its 80% wool blend, field-grey collar, pleated pockets, cotton lining, and included infantry shoulder boards, it offers an excellent balance of authenticity, durability, and display appeal.
