View Size Guide

The 'Nutria Brown' uniform has a straightforward sizing system but the garments themselves have a few quirks. This guide will show you exactly how to get the piece you want...


The Shirts

Both the long sleeve and short sleeve shirts fit true to most standard military field shirts — If you know your American t-shirt size, it'll be spot on with a little wiggle room due to the fact that the Saffies liked to cut their uniforms generously.

If not, here's a size chart we use for all of our T-Shirts you can compare to:

 Size Chest Circumference of Shirt*
Small 36"
Medium 40"
Large 44"
Extra Large 48"
2XL 52"
3XL 56"

*If you want to compare to your favorite tee or shirt that fits perfectly, lay it flat, measure one side from the bottom of the pit to bottom of the pit, and multiply it by 2.

While they don't specify length in their sizing system, these do tend to run longer at the hem to allow for ease of tucking into their respective uniform pants. 


Pants

We've converted the old sizing system into one in good 'ol American imperial inches. Being that these pants aren't from America, they're a bit less generous about making you feel good for having a smaller waist size.

The actual measurement of your waist is what you go with, not your usual jeans size (For example, a 38" waisted lad would normally buy 36" regular fit jeans here in America, but everywhere else in the world, they'd have to buy 38s).

The length system is pretty standard to most 3-length systems with a "Short", "Regular" and "Long". do note that some higher waist sizes bump the length up just a hair, so we've added ranges the lengths. If you know your typical named-length size from buying pants online, stick with that.


Bush Jacket

These fit true to most standard military jackets — If you know your American t-shirt size, it'll be about 1-2" larger in the chest to accommodate for layers underneath and due to the fact that the Saffies liked to cut their uniforms generously.

For example: a size "large" jacket would have a chest circumference measurement of 48" and 24" when laid flat, whereas a typical large tee is 22-23" laid flat depending on fit.

All jackets are "regular" length, being about the same as many other surplus parkas & smocks, closely resembling the US M65. If you're a short king, the jacket will ride a little lower than your hips with sleeves that'll just barely go past your wrist. if you're tall it'll still be below your beltline, and the sleeves might be a quarter inch short at the very most.

For example: a size "large" jacket had a collar-to-hem (on the back) measurement of about 32".


Whether you're LARPing a bush war, in an actual bush war, or are trying out for the UPS Corporate Strike Team, you can't go wrong with the SADF Nutria Bush Jacket. This rugged yet lightweight jacket holds up to tough work, hot sun, and your family's harsh looks of disappointment. 

This jacket's hidden buttons prevent snags, its giant pockets can fit your rations, IFAK, and rifle mags, and its classic color blends in with a range of environments without setting off the general public's mil-surp alarm.

Specs

  • Four voluminous front pockets (Medium-XL)
  • Two Side Pockets (Small Only)
  • Waist cinch for showing off your girlish figure
  • Tough poly/cotton blend construction
  • Unissued condition
  • Nutria brown goes with everything and fades to perfection

Great jacket

I got the version with the inside pockets and the two at the side. Fits pretty well but is a bit roomy at the waist without a drawstring. Would go well over another layer, overall great lightweight jacket.

Back & Forth but Worth it!

I first ordered a size xl, but it did not fit properly, so I exchanged for a large and it fits perfect! One of the buttons broke in transit, but that is to be expected as this jacket was from 1984. Can always replace a button. Customer service has been great. Always a good experience with these guys! Don't be indecisive like I was, just go for it.

Excellent jacket overall

Size reference: I’m 6’3” 264lbs, and wearing an XL

It’s a tad snug in the arms, upper back, and shoulders, but quite roomy in the waist and bottom. Drawstring adjustability in those areas will help tailor the fit to your liking though. I would probably size up if I had the option, but it’s not a deal breaker. I just won’t be layering up with this jacket.
