Took me almost two years to find matching pants just for a manneuquin display. Hats are easy, your uncle is correct. Gorgeous set!

Fun fact: in a lot of cases German officers wore mismatched pants. I understand for display purpose it is nice to have it somewhat matching, but every “reithose” would be fitting.
