The jacket used by Panzer units is black, double breasted, and fly-fronted, with pink branch colour piping around the outer edge of the collar, which was discontinued in 1942. It was worn by all ranks.
The jacket was worn open at the neck with the lapels folded back, and closed by three buttons on the lapel and four buttons down the front below it. Two black horn buttons on the right side of the chest can secure the left lapel, in case the jacket was worn closed at the neck. The sleeves have a slash and button for adjustment. There are two inside breast pockets, the right one rectangular, the left one slanted.
A field grey version was introduced for members of assault gun units on May 29, 1940.
