German 'rain drop' pants?
I'm still lost on the shirt, I hear flectarn is good but they don't look the same.
And the y-harness, and all the other goodies for pouches. Also a 1942 pattern helmet correct?
My inspiration is actually drawn from my all time favourite video game. MoH frontline

Looks to be an early-ish Waffen SS loadout.
While I do more late war, I still have some early-ish gear
As seen here:

The smock and helmet cover can turn inside out, to a fall colour scheme which is in your picture.
Jack boots are worn, where as I am wearing M42 low boots with gaiters.
In a nut shell:
Tunic and pants (M40 would be my choice, but M36 or M43 would be okay.)

I always say go HBT, wool is just insane. (HBT is cotton-poly-ish?)
Smocks, I prefer the look of the Oak Leaf pattern, but that's just me:

Then just web gear, SS buckle, Y Straps, ammo pouches, bread bag + extras.
If you are looking for an accurate impression, look up actual war time images.. Not games nor models or figures, just my 2 cents.
