Dutch 'Buitenmodel' Tunic Grouping
This is a nice original so-called 'Buitenmodel' tunic grouping as intended for a 1st Lieutenant within the Infantry. The grouping is consisting of his tunic and matching pair of breeches as found together. The 'buitenmodel' tunic is a privately purchased tunic in field green-grey woolen cloth. The tunic is having the blue branch-colour piping which indicates Infantry. The tunic has two metal silver stars attached to each collar tip which indicates the rank of a '1e luitenant' (1st Lieutenant). There is some loose stitching beneath the wearer's right arm pith. The tunic comes with a colour matching blue piped pair of breeches. Both the jacket and pants are complete with labels from the tailor 'B.Schoemaker' from 's Gravenhage (The Hague), regrettably no name has been written on the labels. It's a large sized tunic, perfect for a mannequin. Both the tunic and pants are showing normal traces of usage and some minor moth damages, see photos for details. Nice original Dutch 'Buitenmodel' tunic!
