M40 Shoulder boards made of reproduction wool from Germany (100% wool) that mached best with original field gray colour, cotton/rayon mixed piping and rayon/cotton twill tonque reinforcements.
Buttonholes are same type as original "keyhole" type with bartack(cut before). In this type of buttonhole there is no fabric between the stitching lines. This is because the cut-before
machine will first cut the buttonhole slit and eyelet, then stitch the
buttonhole. The stitching overcasts the raw edges of the cut, preventing
them from fraying.
