BACKGROUND: AKO 19.04.1907 announced the release of the new German Feldgrau (field-gray) uniform, known universally as the M1907/10 Feldrock. The new uniform was intended for field use only, and the old Dunkelblau uniforms were maintained for all other occasions. The Feldrock was made of a material called Tuch, which was a heavy wool Feldgrau (green-grey) material. The new uniform was piped in regiment or branch of service uniform colors, with colored piping sewn around the bottom edge of the collar, on the front fly, on the cuffs and flaps, and the rear skirt formation. Shoulder straps were a slip-on pattern and piped in Army corps colors or unit facing colors depending on the unit. (Courtesy of Kaisers Bunker).
