Description
Items in the photos, except for the fabric, are shown to demonstrate the actual shade and weave. They are not included with the fabric.
White linen herringbone twill for German fatigue uniforms of the prewar period and the beginning of World War II (Drillich). Very good quality fabric.
Composition: linen. Color: white with a natural unbleached tone. Width 1.45 m, weight 285 g/m². When burned, it turns to ash with no melting plastic. This is not a synthetic awning fabric and, like any natural cloth, it will eventually become wet in the rain.
Price for 0.1 linear meter (a long strip measuring 10 × 152 cm or approximately 4 × 61 inches). 10 units of the item = 1 linear meter. For example, you can buy 0.3 linear meters (a piece measuring 30 × 152 cm) and sew a pair of caps from it. You can add any quantity to the shopping cart, but the cart will allow checkout only for the quantity actually in stock.
If you want to sew something, we recommend finding a tailor and consulting them before ordering. We do not know how much fabric your project requires. Cut fabric cannot be exchanged or returned. If you need a sample, order 0.1 m; it is inexpensive.

Historical reference.
The white Drillichanzug fatigue uniform was introduced in the German Army in April 1933. Its jacket and trousers were made of durable linen twill and intended for drill, work details, weapons cleaning and vehicle maintenance, helping to preserve the wool field uniform.
Early Drillich was made from light unbleached cloth that became almost white after repeated washing. In February 1940, because the light color was impractical, the Army began changing to reed-green drill. White linen fabric is therefore especially characteristic of the prewar period and the beginning of World War II.
