SS Obergruppenfuhrer Werner Lorenz Formal Evening Dress Jacket

#4120

Note: July, 15, 2008

This tunic has just had a restoration completed in which damage to the fabric was corrected in several locations. A professional tailor skilled in the art of reweaving has restored the damage on the front panel, using original material from the tunic, to a point where you cannot tell where the frayed frontal damage was. The back of the left sleeve also had a rip all the way through, which was too severe for reweaving but was expertly repaired leaving only a lateral seam as evidence. Several rips in the interior lining were also sewn or patched shut and the very loose hanging buttons were firmly resewn in place. The breast badge has been re-affixed to the breast and the backing plate was retrieved from inside of the lining. There are some before and after shots listed at the bottom of this page for those interested in the restoration. The tunic was also lightly cleaned using only water, no soap, detergents or cleaning solutions.
