Any one have fabric patterns for a WW1 German uniform

[Major Willoughby Chase]

Which uniform, rank, etc?

the standard infantry like in All quiet on the western front

Do you mean sewing patterns or information about fabrics used? 

R. L. Shep publishes a book of First World War patterns ("THE GREAT WAR: Styles and Patterns of the 1910s") which includes British military patterns for men, which perhaps could be adapted.

for sewing but i found something that should work

[Colonel Falchion]

Would've loved to get in on this earlier except, I'm just catching up on the last few weeks of topics I've missed.  I know you said that you've already found something that should work, but I would like to add that a US Civil War uniform pattern wouldn't be too far off from the design of a German WW1 uniform.  McCall's makes a commercial one I've used for a few years now- it has plenty of good and bad points to it though (the shoulders and sleeve caps as the bad points), but it makes a good base to work with if you have nothing else available and are not worrying about historical perfection.  You'd just need to add equipment hooks, shoulder straps, and scalloped flaps in the back (or non scalloped if it's a later design)

wow thats exactly what i found to 

[Colonel Falchion]

Best of luck with it!  I'm not sure what your level of sewing and pattern working skill is so I'm not sure if there's any advice I can give you working with it other than a lot of people have trouble fitting it.  Most pictures that I've seen of the finished product make what is supposed to be a "semi-fitted" jacket look rather ill-fitted instead, especially around the shoulders.  I think the pattern is designed to give the shoulders a little puff, but we redrew the sleeves to get rid of that.  Also, the slanted shoulder seams on the back (not the side back pieces) tend to stick out a bit if you're using a thinner fabric.  I tend to make my tunics for summer wear- cosplay for anime conventions, so I need mine to be lighter than standard wool.

The R.L. Shep book mentioned upthread has English patterns.
