German WWII Waffen-SS Blurred Edge Camouflage Combat Smock

This is a rare and exceptionally well-preserved Waffen-SS “blurred edge” camouflage combat smock—an iconic and highly sought-after piece of WWII German militaria. Representing one of the most recognizable camouflage patterns used by the Waffen-SS, this smock exemplifies the advanced fieldcraft and distinctive uniform design employed by elite German forces during the war.

Constructed in the classic blurred edge camouflage pattern, this smock retains its vivid tones and field-worn character. Foliage loops are neatly affixed to the upper sleeves and breast area, allowing for effective natural concealment, and highlighting the practical design features intended for front-line use. The garment features two functional lower pockets, both lined in green herringbone twill material—a correct and original detail consistent with wartime SS manufacture.

Despite its age, the smock remains in excellent condition overall. There are a few honest signs of service wear, including one tear and a carefully executed L-shaped stitch repair to the upper left rear panel, a second small L-shaped split at the base near the armpits, and a 17 cm long period-style stitched repair just below the front left pocket. These repairs, while minor, add to the smock’s authenticity and combat-proven history without detracting from its strong visual appeal.

A notable feature is the full reversibility of the smock, with the autumn camouflage pattern on the reverse offering versatility for seasonal deployment. The original green rayon drawcord remains intact at the collar, and the elastic at both the waistband and lower cuffs is fully functional and flexible—attributes rarely found in smocks of this age and type.

This Waffen-SS camouflage smock stands as a superb example of wartime German uniform design, both practical and visually striking. Its originality, completeness, and overall condition make it a rare and highly desirable artifact for the serious collector of WWII German militaria, reflecting the operational and material history of one of the most formidable forces of the era.
