Finding Your Size
All Flecktarn parkas, including our Versengtarn parkas, use the Bundeswehr sizing system. In the Bundeswehr system, every chest and height combination is assigned to a number designation, the Nr.Gr. size. Each Nr.Gr. size can be directly translated to standard NATO sizing, so once you know your number you're set for most military clothing.

To size your Versengtarn parka, measure your total height and your chest and use the chart to find your Gr. number. The columns represent your chest size, and the rows represent your height. If you fall between two sizes we suggest picking the larger of the two.

Please note that the dying process introduces a small amount of vertical shrinkage in each parka. This is unnoticeable unless your height falls between two different size brackets. If this is the case we recommend you go for the bigger size.

If you have any questions about sizing, don't hesitate to open a chat with us!

Our photoshoot model is wearing a size 02.
He is 5' 10.5", has a 37.5" chest, and weighs 145 lbs. 

Start with your US Letter size for reference and if you want specific measurements like sleeve length, garment length, and chest width, we'll provide them below.

These jackets are intended to be an oversized, roomy fit, so you may want to size down if you want a more modern "fitted" jacket. But don't worry, even when you size down one, you'll still retain maneuverability. 

The following measurements are in INCHES. To measure, "A" is chest width pit to pit, "B" is the garment length in the front from the collar, "C" is shoulder seam to shoulder seam, and the "D" measurement for sleeve length starts at where the hood/neck seam meets the shoulder, not the center of the neck.

To get the best possible fit, grab your favorite jacket and measure it out on the same spots with the same methodology as ours, referring to the chart and graphic above. 

Sizing

For the foot-size conscious, we're doing things a little differently - by providing exact measurements of the inside of the boot. In general, keep in mind you may want to go a half size to a full size down due to the last's length and width. 

Measure all of the following with Millimeters. Vee Do Not Uze Ze Inchez In GERMANY!

The main 3 measurements are Last length, last width, and last girth at the widest part of your foot ("ball girth". Don't worry, we giggle every time, too). Most people won't have to worry about "Waist" or "Instep" Girth. 

For length and width, the best method is to trace your foot with the socks you plan to wear on, standing on a piece of paper to derive length and width.

For length, measure from heel to toe in a straight line in millimeters from end to end (not diagonally) You'll want to add at least 5 and up to 12mm to your length measurement. more toe room, more room for expansion throughout the day depending on your activity level.

For width simply measure the widest part of your foot, slightly diagonally.

Keep in mind - Your feet typically expand a couple millimeters just from standing on them all day, and socks make a difference too!

Girth around the "ball" of the foot is another important measurement as it's the most common area of irritation for shoes that don't fit right. take a measuring tape (or string if you don't have one) and measure around the widest part of your foot. 

You should have all the measurements you need to buy the correct size after those steps.

But for even more advanced feet-havers, we provide two more girth measurements, at the "Waist" and "Instep". The instep is (generally) the area that the laces will rest on top of the foot before the ankle, and the "waist" is between the ball and instep. By no means a necessary measurement, but can help for people who know they have unusually tall feet.
