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.

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. 
  • 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. 

    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...

    This version of the jacket features a cut and construction similar to the Tropentarn Field Shirt, with button closures, and armpit vents.

        Peak Performance

        These are lightweight, comfortable, cool in the summer, and whenever I wear one, the Freedom Radio from Clear Sky plays in my head on repeat. I love it.

        Armpit vents

        The main problem I think almost everyone had with the Feldbluse is the accessibility of the armpits. No longer!
