Due to demand, On The March is once again pleased to offer Officers tunics.
Each tunic is hand-crafted using traditional techniques and original patterns. Hand-stitched lining, traditional wool fabric--not polyester--milled in Germany, cotton thread. The collars are properly constructed to the correct dimensions.
No cheap fusible interfacing. No polyester thread. No flimsy construction that has no body.
Once you compare ours with "theirs," you'll be convinced that you really do get what you pay for.
Available Fabrics
Wools:
·Trikot wool, light feldgrau
·Trikot wool, dark feldgrau
·Plain weave melton wool, pre/early-war feldgrau
Linings:
·Brown acetate

Ed-jee-kational Tip: Trikot is a weave, not a fabric fiber. Trikot can be made from wool, polyester (like all those cheap Chinese tunics are made from), cotton, rayon, etc.
On The March only uses 100% wool Trikot.

The Terms
Placing an order for an officer's tunic means that you agree to these terms and conditions.
A 50% deposit is required before we start on your tunic. We will contact about 2 to 4 weeks before your tunic comes up in the queue, requesting (1) confirmation that you still want your tunic, and if so, (2) a 50% deposit. The balance plus S&H is due upon completion of your tunic.
All sales are final. Once you approve the fitting mock-up and we start cutting the fabric, it’s yours.
You are responsible for providing all the measurements and details of the features you want. If you provide incorrect measurements, it’s on you, not us. If you don’t tell us that you want skirt pockets bellows, then you are responsible for the costs of reworking the tunic to add them.
The rework cost is time plus materials. Labor is charged at $20 per hour.
The Listed Price Includes:
The fitting mock-up and its shipping via best way to your residence are included in the purchase price. You are responsible for shipping the mock-up back to On The March. The mock-up remains the property of On The March and must be returned.
All fabric and materials to make the basic jacket are included in the purchase price.
The Listed Price Does NOT Include:
Any insignia. This varies so greatly that you are responsible for providing all insignia, unless it is included when we quote the price.
Any extraordinary modifications to the pattern, such as, "Can you make an M36 with short poofy sleeves?" Or if you have any very unusual fitting issues, such as very uneven shoulders, very large waist (greater than 1.2 x chest size), etc. These are full custom tunics that require a unique pattern that must be drafted and fitted via trial and error.
