Few people know of the turtleneck the Wehrmacht introduced in 1942.  Aside from original images of soldiers wearing these sweaters, only the few original examples exist today.  We were lucky enough to obtain one of these originals for examination.  The result, the first reproduction of this Schlupjacke 42!

Most collectors refer to this turtleneck as the "M-1942 Sweater."  The reason for this is simple, it was first issued in 1942.  The pattern is very similar to the previous issued sweater patterns that had green stripes on the collar & cuffs and were either crew or v-necked.  The M1942 however, had a high turtleneck collar & lacked the collar & cuff stripes.  A good number of original images show landsers wearing the late war M44 tunic with this type of sweater.
