Description
The tent-cloak is made of thick cotton material, which is an exact copy of German tent fabric. It works against water due to the very dense weave of threads, which swell when wet and, remaining wet, do not let water in. In this fabric, if you look at the sun, you cannot see any gaps between the threads (any other cheap copy has them).
The camouflage completely copies the original pattern, and on one side it is in gray tones (spring), and on the other side in yellow (autumn). The main thing that distinguishes this pattern from cheap copies is that the herringbone pattern does not match the pattern of spots in the size of the cycle, and is applied uniquely each time. It is also important that the herringbone also has spots (gaps), which are 1/2 the width of the tent fabric, that is, they are not repeated. On cheap copies, the pattern is usually incorrect (something similar is simply drawn) and the herringbone is repeated every 50 cm, and sometimes does not have "white" spots (gaps) at all.
The canvas has a camouflage pattern Splinter in its early version. It has a stamp RB-Nr.0/0769/004, an exact copy of the original, such a stamp was put already during the war for unification and secrecy, and the specific manufacturer was encrypted in the number.
Aluminum buttons with three holes. Aluminum eyelets. Stitching the canvas with thick cotton thread. Sewing on buttons with white thick thread for leather (like on the original).
The ropes that are used to hook the pegs when setting up the tent are already included!

> Whether the Zeltbahn is waterproof?
At the beginning of the XX century, the material for tents was a dense fabric: the tighter lay the threads to each other during the creation of the fabric, the worse it passes water. It's about drops of water or rain, they flow down from the surface of the tent, and do not seep inside. But at the same time the tent does not remain dry, the threads from which the fabric is made, absorb water and become wet. That's enough to get shelter from the rain. However, every tourist in the twentieth century knew: if, being in a tent in the rain, to touch it from the inside, soon a drop will begin to gather at this point. Also with a Zeltbahn: it will get wet faster in the place where it touches the shoulders.
As a result: the material of the tent can be wetted, it can be washed, but with proper handling it saves from the weather. The material of the tent does not have a coating of rubber or nano-materials, it is a product of the XX century technology, designed for reenactment! Therefore, it does not give 100% protection from water, which gives cellophane, but allows you to hide from the rain or the sun.
