BDUs come in all shapes, sizes, and wacky camos, but few end up looking as good as this. Polish Wz. 93 Pantera is one of the best looking woodland patterns that's graced the surplus world, and we got lucky enough to get a fresh, new-old-stock plethora of the versatile short sleeve BDU.
Wz. 93 Pantera was a pattern first developed for JW GROM, part of the Polish special forces. Sometimes called "presidential woodland" it shares a common pallet of colors to German Flecktarn, but with larger "petal" patterns that date back to an even earlier camo used by special forces in the 1960s.
The garment itself is built similarly to many "field" shirts. It's constructed out of a durable ripstop fabric, features a name tape on the chest, small hook and loop flag fields on the shoulders, and buttoned epaulets on the shoulders.
Sizing
The sizing on the Polish BDU is how a typical dress shirt is sized, using the diameter of your neck in centimeters. Grab a friend with a tailor’s tape or use a string and mark it to the best of your ability to determine sizing (in centimeters). When you get it right, these will fit very well.
Condition
Shirts are factory new, in original packaging.
It's my first time buying milsurp and this is a pretty nice start. It's fairly simple but looks amazing and I like how it has pace for patches.
For
Summer wear ( good)
Fits good has sort of a more plasticky nylon texture, feels like its gonna last forever and is super clean. Mine didn’t come with the hook and loop patches but I was not expecting that
Arrived early and fits perfectly
I was initially worried that it wouldn't fit but once I got it it fit like a dream! A plus was that it was brand spanking new only thing I would have loved was to get the velcro flag patches!
