I feel like a German Daniel Craig in No Time to Die. Fit is good, I am 6 feet tall 200lb 16% body fat, and I got the DE 58. It’s close to the equivalent for a US 2XL, which is my regular sweater size. For my physique, it is slightly baggy overall and especially in the stomach area, but the fit in the chest and the tapered waist make it work well. I’ve worn it for a few hours so far in the 40°-50°F Appalachian weather and it kept me nice and warm with only a basic t-shirt underneath. I have a lot of good flexibility in it too, meaning it doesn’t feel too tight, restricting movement; nor is it too loose, getting in my way. The collar isn’t too tight or too loose either, and for someone with a thicker neck, this matters a lot. The wool is a little scratchy and itchy but that could be down to me not washing it yet. Surplus-quality-wise, I got the “great” and it looks like it’s never been worn and has simply sat in a box since 2008. No blemishes whatsoever. The flags are sown on and still fairly vibrant, and the breast pocket sits an inch or two lower than most. That could also be down to me getting a larger size. The shoulder straps and breast pocket also have Velcro. Overall, one of the best purchases I’ve made on KommandoStore.

Wasn't sure on the sizing, so I went with a DE 52. I wear a large or XL depending on the shirt, and this fits perfectly, though it is a bit long. I'm also going to hit it with a lint shaver to knock some of the fuzzies down, other than that, it's perfect.

Great addition to my quickly growing German gear pile. Warm, comfortable, and utilitarian. Fits great, keeps the northern chill away.
