JUMP SMOCKS
You will want to make the green step in smock your first
purchase. We portray FJR3 as an early to midwar unit. (as shown in the left photo). We strongly recommend purchasing
a Sturm plain green step in but other green step ins are acceptable. The smock to the left is a green step in smock
that was issued early in the war. The middle smock is a splinter b smock that was the most prevalent smock throughout
the war. The right is a tan and water smock that was issued later in the war. All three items below are spearhead militaria
products.

VERY IMPORTANT WHEN PURCHASING A SMOCK
Several vendors sell Jump smocks that
are very inexpensive which is tempting to someone entering the hobby. The problem with those
smocks is that they are the incorrect splinter A which was made for the Army . The Luftwaffe was issued the splinter
B camo. The photo below displays the difference between the patterns..
FLIEGERBLUSE/TROPICAL TUNIC
The Fallschirmjager was issued either the Fliegerbluse (as
seen left below) or a tropical tunic (as seen right below) depending on the environment they would be fighting in. Both items
displayed below are SM Wholesale products.
