Swedish M90 camouflage originally began its life as vehicle camouflage developed by the Försvarets forskningsanstalt (FOA) in the 1970’s.
With solid colorways becoming rather dated by the late 1980s, Sweden decided to adapt its FOA camouflage for use amongst its personnel as M90. Designed to hide Sweden’s planes and tanks from the aerial and satellite reconnaissance of the late Soviet Union, it was especially useful in hiding amongst Sweden’s forest and tundra. And since most people aren’t as large as a tank (unlike your average American), the Swedes decided to scale it down by a proportion of 1:66.
The result? An uncharacteristically clean camouflage. With its hard lines and geometric patterning, it’s hard to believe this pattern was originally developed in the late 70s. It was so modern its influence can even be found in Battlefield 4… if you know where to look. It certainly makes for a uniquely futuristic camouflage that isn’t MULTICAM®️ (thank the Lord).
The M90 field shirt is one of the more “modern” surplus field shirts we have received. With its buttonable storm flap, dual velcro pockets, and reinforced elbows, it can withstand the harshest weather that the Scandinavian peninsula can throw at it. The velcro name tag holder and rank tab you can make sure that Swedish girl knows both your gamertag™️ and that you’re 10th prestige IRL.

Sizing
The Swedes thought they were making a sizing utopia by deciding your size with height and weight. Honestly? It works pretty well. Figure out your height (in centimeters), and input your overall weight and you should have a well-fitting field shirt.
Swedish M90 "Splinter" Field Shirt
This is awesome, dare I say, water PROOF? I wore this thing in some torrential downpour today. Hat and hands dripping wet and I don't think a drop made its way through the shirt, got a patch from y'all and slapped it right on there, the velcro sticks awesome. Quality is just incomparable
As title says, favorite jacket I own, places for patches are a massive plus for customizability
Purchased for someone with height and weight right in the center of the appropriate size. Extremely stiff and durable fabric combined with abnormally large chest/waist circumference causes shirt to fall very awkwardly. Sleeves were also too long. Returning and might try sizing down on weight.
I honestly just got this for the camo collection but I’m genuinely surprised by its quality and I wear it all the time. Also it matches every patch I own.
Relatively basic field shirt, brand new in plastic, very sturdy fabric. No shoulder velcro or Swedish flag patch on shoulder. Very nice shirt and M90 itself is a very interesting camo. I wear BDU in Large-Regular and I bought this shirt in 190cm/85kg. It fits pretty loosely, a little looser than a BDU jacket on me. I recommend this shirt, it looks cool, is kinda uncommon, and is well made.
