The first “wartime” issued smock.

Originally designed to be worn over the equipment and discarded after the jump.

To accommodate this its cut was very baggy. Thus it took on a sack like appearance when worn. Hence its nickname, "knochensack" or bone sack.

Produced in large numbers but few remain in their original configuration.

Can be observed in use from 1938-45.

After the initial campaigns. It was determined that a new smock design was needed. Beginning in 1940, the FJ was issued a smock which now featured pockets and a relief fly. 

Originally made from Grünmeliert and later in Splittertarn B fabric, but examples

also exist in solid green twill, tan and braunmeliert. Observed in use from 1940-45.

Beginning in 1942 a new type of smock was issued that eliminated the cumbersome "step in" design of the earlier smocks.

The M42 has a full button front and larger pockets as well as a holster, e tool loop and internal waist adjustment ties. This model exclusively utilized camouflage fabric in its construction.

Observed in use from 1942-45.

All model smocks are cut to fit over the fliegerbluse. They were issued in 3 sizes. 1, 2 and 3 (small, medium and large. Each size had 3 lengths. A, B and C (short, regular and long). There was NO size 4 issued.

Refer to the chart for your size. For example. If you wear a size 42 Regular in a fiegerbluse, you would choose a size 2B smock.
