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.

    After a period of rather dull uniform offerings from everyone’s (save France) favorite military, the Bundeswehr developed probably the most stylish yet effective camouflage for mainland Europe. A testament to this is its continued use in the Ukraine conflict today.

    Tracing its development history, the origins of Flecktarn can be found in the "Erbsenmuster" and "Platanenmuster" camouflage patterns originally developed back in the 1940’s. The “pea-dot” style of camouflage developed some controversy around it when it was first being introduced to the Bundeswehr due its rather… Historical origins. But effectiveness is effectiveness — don’t ask the US where ERDL originated from either.

    Not only are these field shirts stylish, they are also incredibly functional. The two front breast pockets can hold a variety of small admin supplies or a love letter to the cute Fräulein next door. The ventilated armpits can help keep you cool during the hottest days out hiking or on the flat range. And with some velcro wrist fasteners and storm flap and you got yourself a versatile field shirt for a variety of conditions...
