Key Visual Features & Design Elements:
- Material & Color: The jacket is constructed from heavy field-grey (Feldgrau) wool fabric tailored for standard field utility. [1, 2]
- Waist-Length Cut: Features a distinctively shortened, cropped waistband layout that eliminates the long lower skirt section found on earlier tunic models (such as the M36 or M40). [1, 2]
- Simplified Pocket Arrangement: Designed with two unpleated rectangular breast patch pockets with pointed flaps and singular button closures, completely omitting lower hip pockets to save raw wool. [1]
- Central Closure: Equipped with a clean vertical front placket boasting exposed pebble-textured buttons spaced evenly to seal the chest against wind.
- Open Collar Realization: Styled with an adaptable fall/turn-down collar layout that could comfortably accept historical insignia badges or be fully fastened at the neck. [1]
