Finding Your Size

All Flecktarn parkas and field shirts 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. number can be directly translated to standard NATO sizing, so once you know your number you're set for most military clothing.

For parkas and field shirts, measure your total height and your chest. If your measurements come between two different height sizes, it is recommended to go for the bigger size. Find the row with your height in it, then find the column with your chest size; the number in the box where they meet is your size.


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

Condition & Date Guide

Issued to the Bundeswehr (the unified armed forces of Germany), this parka sports Flecktarn, a camouflage developed from a long line of ancestors dating back to just before WWII.

Many agree Flecktarn is one of the best camouflages to wear both in and out of the field (unless you live in Germany).

Fleck parkas are about more than just looks — they feature water resistant fabric, plenty of pocket space, and a cut built for retaining agility while keeping yourself covered. There are even zippers at the armpits for cooling off the body or warming your hands. The Germans have well-mastered parka engineering.

If there was a degree in Flecktarn, we’d hang ours on the wall. Warehouse Ivan spent hours sorting, studying, analyzing, and researching the fleck-info-barren internet. He has found the way — the true method to sort Flecktarn surplus — and the most comprehensive understanding he is aware of (see condition & date guide)

Specs

  • Thick poly/cotton water-resistant fabric
  • High waist zipper closure with snap-secured storm flap enables the wearer to bend and crouch without restriction
  • Cinch cord fasteners at waist, thighs, and in hood
  • Two snap-secured front breast pockets
  • Two zippered front hand pockets
  • Velcro® secured inside pocket
  • Velcro® wrist cuff fasteners
  • Straps for shoulder marks, rank tabs, etc.
  • Zippered armpits for venting heat or warming hands
  • Shoulder pocket

Varying Specs for Pre-2005 Parkas

  • Parkas dated 1992 and before have brass snaps, while parkas dated 1993 and after have plastic snaps
  • Parkas dated 1994 and before have the shoulder pocket on the right arm, while parkas dated 1995 and after have it on the left
  • Depending on the manufacturer, the tone of the parka will vary. See picture #7 for a display of parkas of different tones compared to each other

Varying Specs for Pre and Post-2005 Parkas

  • Some parkas include a Velcro® fastener on the arm
  • Most parkas include a Velcro® fastener above the left front pocket for name tape

      Condition

      For this example we'll use the Flecktarn parka. The same standards are applied to other Flecktarn items.

      • Unissued: These unissued parkas are in immaculate, factory-new condition and have never been worn or laundered.
      • Great aka "Collector's": These parkas will be in like-new to great condition.They have been issued, but there should be no tears, broken parts, fading, or noticeable wear.
      • Weathered aka "Good": Functionally intact with no tears or broken parts. Weathered parkas have been issued and show signs of use like wear or fading. This is visually similar to "broken-in" jeans.


      DATE RANGE

      Flecktarn comes in two, slightly different color variants.

      • Pre-2005: The classic five color pattern everyone thinks about when they hear Flecktarn: vibrant and robust.
        • Pre-2005 variants: Sometime during the 90s, Germany was in high demand for BDUs. So it contracted a handful of different companies for manufacture. Because of this construction is identical, but color is not. With the amount of different batches being produced by different printing equipment, the tone of the five colors varies from company to company. See picture #7 for a display of parkas of different tones compared to each other.
      • Post-2005: In 2005, the five colors of Flecktarn were altered into more muted tones. Since then, the colors have stayed free of variation. Every parka made since 2005 features this muted version of Flecktarn. See picture #8 for a photo of the camo.

        It's a blanket that will keep you warm but not too warm (on fire)

        The flame-resistant modacrylic fibers in this blanket make it perfect for use next to the campfire as well as one to stash away for emergencies in your car or cabin where the cold might sneak up on you.

        Don't take its emergency usage as a sign that it's not cozy though, the fabric blend still makes it well suited for getting comfy once the temp drops.

        It's cheap, it's compact, and it might save your favorite shirt or pants. What's not to like?

        At the end of the day, every item you wear is ultimately a wear item. As we've learned recently, supply chains are fragile like a delicate Roman vase, and such luxuries are not to be taken for granted. As such, simply replacing your gear might not always be an option.

        Enter the humble, timeless sewing kit. It's an incredibly overlooked essential that's left out of everything from survivalist bugout bags to your mum's cabinet nowadays.

        Maintaining your kit on a thread-by-thread basis is just as important as doing preventative maintenance on your car — a frayed or loose thread here and there can turn into a bigger problem if you shrug it off for too long. 

        The Forze Armate sewing kit will cover all of your basic needs for repairing small tears, buttons, and a few other odds and ends as well. It makes for a great match with combat attire and other militaria, but the sky's the limit with a needle and thread.

        Specs

        • Full contents are pictured in the product images
        • Includes replacement buttons, safety pins, needle set, scissors.

        After months of stocking some of the crazier examples of Alpenflage, we've finally got some of the more (relatively) sensible pieces the later model "M83" variants.

        Alpenflage, also called TAZ 83, Pizza Camo, and what we've dubbed "Casserole Camo" was issued on different pieces of gear from the late 50s to the early 90s. In fall and early winter foliage the pattern performs at its best, matching the conditions of the Swiss Alps closer than other times of the year. When it hit the surplus market in the 90s, outside of its natural environment in the alps, it stuck out like a sore thumb — in both cool factor and pattern. It continues to intrigue curious surplus collectors and has amassed quite the diehard fandom for both it's functionality and it's unique pattern.

        Now down to the field shirt in question — the swiss were astonishingly close to designing something normal, but as per usual, included their trademark odd features that only serve to give their surplus more charm. It's a 50/50 cotton/poly field jacket suitable for spring and fall thanks to its colorway and construction, and sports the typical breast pockets, epaulets, and cigarette pocket many European field shirts also have.

        Lets get weird: It also features hip loops for securing an outer belt (presumably for load bearing equipment) zippered & elastic wrist cuffs and two-panel reinforced articulating elbows. Also, in case you lose the button on one of the epaulets, they thought to include a replacement button sewn in above the cigarette pocket for god knows what reason. In short, it's an "almost sensible" field jacket from the Swiss, in their most infamous camo. And that alone might just be right up your alley.

        Specs
        • 50/50 Cotton/poly construction
        • YKK Zippers
        • 2 front snapped breast pockets
        • 1 Snapped "cigarette pocket" on left shoulder
        • 2 Snap closure hip belt loops
        • Reinforced elbows
        • Elastic & Zipped wrist cuffs

        Sizing

        The M83 field shirts seem to run a touch large- not a bad idea to go one size down for a more casual fit, or stay to your true EU size if you're throwing layers underneath.

        Note: Model is 6' 0", with a 38" chest and wore a Size EU 48 without issue.

        Condition

        Excellent

        • Lightly used and well cared for.
        • Alpenflage Pattern remains vibrant.

        • Minor cosmetic blemishes, abrasions, or other signs of use. This includes fabric repairs done in the field.

        Woobie  /w-ʊbi/
        (Plural: Woobies)

        1. (US, Childish) Any object, typically a blanket, garment, or stuffed animal, that is used simply for its comforting characteristics; a security blanket.
        2. (US, Military Slang) A Poncho liner

        Although its origins are somewhat hazy, around 1962 special forces in Vietnam got the first taste of what might be the comfiest piece of standard issue army equipment that would transcend far beyond it's original intended use. Made to be a liner for a wet weather poncho, the 'woobie' was the spiritual successor to the USGI wool blanket, as it fell completely flat in the horrifically humid jungles of Vietnam.

        Even when sopping wet, the 3-ply quilted nylon blanket expertly traps body heat when you need it the most — and since it's quick to dry it probably won't stay wet for long anyways. Ask any soldier who's been issued one - its one of the better standard issue pieces of equipment the army hands out to this day. Many have even gone great lengths to keep theirs after deployment, and have tailored them into all sorts of different jackets to envelop themselves in it's warm embrace once again.

        Use it as a wrap-around sleeping bag, a compliment to your bivy, a hammock blanket, you name it—when you want to be warm and comfy, you pull out the Woobie.

         

        Care guide

        Keep your woobie away from smoke and fires, the tag even warns you not to smoke anywhere near this thing, so they're probably not joking around. When laundering is necessary, use lukewarm water and a mild soap to clean.

        • Made in the USA

        • Comes in M81 "God's Plaid" Woodland Camo.

        • Will cause dangerous levels of comfy-ness

        It's so prolific that in much of the west its the first thing that comes to people's minds when the word camouflage is even mentioned in casual conversation Being part of the most recognizable military uniforms in history this M81 filed shirt is nothing less than an Iconic piece of US Military surplus. 

        M81 goes beyond just being the United State's best looking camo ever, its left a lasting mark on the fashion world from exclusive streetwear collaborations to the shelves of Walmart. It looks pretty good with almost everything and is the cornerstone of milsurp fashion.

        Of course, these were US Military Issue and made in the US. Great for any kind of activity you can think of innawoods, and actually performs well as a camouflage in forested temperate climates. Some of these come with different types of unit & rank patches sewn on, too.

        • Reinforced elbows

        • Felled side seams and sleeves for extra durability

        Sizing

        • Sizing will be in standard US letter sizes. Whatever size your favorite tee shirt is in will do — Europeans and Asians may want to go down a size because our size system is a little bigger here thanks to our diet of high fructose corn syrup, wonder bread, processed country fried steak, and Coke® products.

        oui, zis iz tres 'confortable'.

        It's hard to go wrong with surplus fleeces - and where the US left a woodland-shaped hole in our heart, French CCE camo steps in to give camo lovers what they really want.

        CCE is a woodland pattern designed to match the ecology of mainland Europe, with the 'CE' literally standing for Centre Europe. Unlike US M81 Woodland, it features thicker and heavier patterning like other French camos of the 90s.

        This quarter zip fleece issued to the French Military is a comfortable low-pile fleece that keeps you warm but isn't a heavy moisture magnet. It's a great addition under lighter jackets if you prefer to dress like an onion in the winter time — without a full-zip to mess with it doesn't make your chest crowded or uncomfortable with layers of zippers.

        Specs
        • Made in France for the Armée de Terre
        • Soft, low-pile 100% polyester fleece
        • Pull-over quarter zip front with turtle neck collar

        Sizing

        From our experience these jackets run small in their native Frog sizing- we've translated their sizing to the equivalent US size. Our model is 6' 0" tall with a chest size of 37" and found the Size Large (112) to fit without an issue.

         Condition

        Jackets are in new condition. Absolutely no tears, marks, rips, stains, writing, or blems.

        Finding your size 

        These tees have fairly standard sizing. In general, you should be able to go with the size you normally wear. The measurements here are the measurements of the shirt itself, not your body.

        Although the shirts are technically unisex, the Beefy-T is cut for a male wearer and may appear baggy and long on women. The shirt will shrink slightly during the first wash. After this it should fit true to size.

        Compare with one of your favorite shirts to verify the fit, and if in doubt feel free to contact customer service for assistance!

        The GBU-12 Paveway II is starring in another collaboration with the moé aircraft artist Atamonica. 

        Our bundle features an extra-fine, double-sided screen print of A-10-chan on the Hanes Beefy Tee or the P170 hoodie. Using high quality inks and our favorite US based print shop, we're able to achieve an incredible level of detail, color, and quality. And unlike cheaper 'direct-to-garment' printing methods, our screen print will stand the test of time.

        It's the perfect way to make new friends in public places, seriously concern your immediate family, and probably develop a 'thing' for catgirls. 

        Our bundle also includes an 8 x 3" slap of Paveway-Chan, and an extra-large woven 5" squared patch—both original, never-before-seen designs.

        Specs

        • Bundle Includes one tee, one sticker, and one embroidered patch
        • Does NOT include cat ears (sold separately, just search around we guarantee you'll find some if you really want some, weirdo.)
        • May cause an urge to be pounced upon, clawed at, and bitten by an explosive-ordnance-turned-catgirl.

         Sizing

        Our Atamonica tees are built on the Hanes Beefy-T for their durability, comfort, and timeless fit. Please see the Sizing Chart page for more information. 

        Although the shirts are technically unisex, the Beefy-T is cut for a male wearer and may appear baggy and long on women. The shirt will shrink slightly during the first wash. After this it should fit true to size.

        The hoodies are relaxed-fit, meaning you'll probably want to stick to your US shirt size unless you're an oversized-hoodie-enjoyer. If you're on the upper end of your US shirt size, definitely size up as these will shrink slightly in the wash.

        Construction

        Our tees are screen printed on the front and back with quality, custom-blended inks in the USA. 

        The Hanes Beefy-T is constructed of 100% cotton, with slightly heavier-than-average fabric weight for durability.

        Official Preparation Instructions

        1. Add 8-16 (check package) ounces of hot water (~⅓ canteen cup) to pouch
        2. Stir, wait ~5-10 minutes until fully rehydrated
        3. Hot water can be added in stages to keep food hot.

        Recommended Best Practices

        • Meals should be fully hydrated per the official instructions, and left to fully absorb the water.
        • Eating too fast can mess with your mood, your metabolism, and your digestive system. Pace yourself and eat at a normal speed.
        • Rehydrating the meal just means that the meal is rehydrated. You are still in charge of hydrating yourself. Make sure to drink adequate water.
        • Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and temperatures above 75°F to maximize shelf life. Like most things, if stored in a dry cool place it will last longer. Proprietary Mountain House packaging preserves flavor until 2032, and viable calories beyond that.
