Uniform requirements

Woolen uniform:

"M36", "M40" or "M42/M43" tunics are allowed for all,
officers can use custom-made officer service tunics.

"M44" late-war field uniform is not recommended due to the fact that it saw very little if any service with "Nord".

Basic uniform	Gebirgsjäger reversible anorak (brownish side out)

M43 cap with correct insignia	Waffen-SS beltbuckle and belt

Boots

Due to the make up of SS Nord all patterns of boots issued by the
German army were found in "Nord" photos and a writen reference shows that Finnish
ski boots were also issued. Gebirgsjäger mountain boots, traditional Knobelbecher jackboots and Schnurschuhe low ankle boots
seem to be the normal foot wear so for this reason those three are allowed.

For winter use Finnish Lapland boots and German felt boots are allowed - and warmly recommended!


Camouflage uniforms

"Nord" was issued camouflage uniforms in many different (Waffen-SS) patterns and almost all of them are allowed for our members,
except "Dot44" or "Erbsenmuster" (until we gt photographic proof that it was used in Finnish front), "Leibermuster" for obvious reasons
and "Italian camo" for obvious reasons as well.

Both "1st" and "2nd" pattern smocks are allowed. Field modification of smocks is
allowed for officers and NCO's only. No field made trousers are to be worn by any rank.


Summer Uniform

                       The green two pocket cotton work tunic and trousers seem to be the the common uniform in all the photos of junior ranks. 
Officers and NCOs can wear the 4 pocket cotton tunic, other ranks will use the 2 pocket cotton uniform.

"Sahariana" and all other Waffen-SS summer uniforms in khaki or other brown shades are not allowed,
same goes with modified Heer tropical uniforms.


Winter uniform

All ranks can use following winter uniforms:

- two piece reversible winter uniform (just as long as the camo side is not "Dot44" or "Leibermuster" pattern)

- traditional field grey greatcoat (Mantel) in all patterns

- fur-lined "Kharkow parka" anorak

- Gebirgsjäger reversible winter anorak (with three chest pockets) and applicable trousers
(but do note that this uniform must be reversible to white, absolutely no camouflage versions of this uniform)

Tarnjacke, "Palm tree" camo pattern	Tarnjacke, "Plane tree" camo pattern

Two-piece reversible winter uniform	Fur-lined anorak
