Hello, all,

Well the header about says it: Any recommendations for off-the-shelf Imperial feldgrau will be appreciated.

Best to all, and to all a good night,

While not an expert on German uniforms, I don’t think there was any change in color between the two war’s until they went ot the green color. I know the style changed though.

Fabric variations, dye variations, dirt, washings, fading, stains…Who’s going to know what it is supposed to look like? [2c]

This help?

I agree with peridexion, there is a lattitude of color considered wear, dye lots, fabric, field conditions, etc. I think if you get close and within its context you’ll be right.[;)]

Vallejo makes specific colors…both of which I’ve matched up against other stuff (including some original Heer clothing) and they look real good…

Vallejo German Field Gray # 830 - matches Reanart’s photos above
Vallejo German Gray #995 - is the typical Heer gray.

Hope that helps…but like everyone else has said, with the variations in dye, fabric, and of course, manufacturers of the clothing, there’s some wiggle room.

good morning, gents,

Thanks to all you fine folks, with a special nod to renarts for the scan. The caveat that variation is the order of the day is noted.

Best,SJK
