Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "The leather uniform is designed to keep the wearer warm during cold weather while aboard ship or on land. Cold-weather duty in the North Atlantic necessitated warm, protective clothing. The machine-filled submarine called for uniforms resistant to oil and dirt. This style uniform was designed in 1935 and was one of several styles available to the German Navy. The short collar and waist length coat indicate that this uniform was designed to be issued to engine personnel as well as to those sailors of technical ranks such as torpedo or electric motor personnel. The particular design of this jacket allowed for significant mobility for the daily tasks performed by its wearer. Other uniform colors available were gray or green, (most common) and brown (least common).".
