Before this SS units were issued with the Army version. Modifications were complete by early 1941. The SS panzer wrap featured a more rounded collar and a vertical front opening. Also it featured a single panel to the reverse. These changes to the Heer version were quite noticeable and gave the SS panzer jackets a distinctive look. The wrap featured black plastic buttons to the collar which enabled the wrap to be button up and closed at the top via a metal eyelet. The lining were partially lined with grey cotton twill. But Later in the war this was replaced with black rayon, a type of artificial silk because of war shortages. There were a few manufacture variations made during the war but the pattern remained basically th same . Interestingly the Field grey SS assault gunners wrap preceded the Black panzer wrap.
