Versengtarn is a heavily darkened flecktarn, with a possible slight blue/purple hue depending on lighting conditions. We've taken a photo showing the variations that come out of our dye process — note that no two dyed examples will be the same.

Vers·eng·tarn from the German versengt “scorched” and tarnen “camouflage.”

Versengtarn is our tribute to the iconic German Flecktarn pattern. Built up over decades, Germany's Cold War surplus of Flecktarn clothing dominated the surplus market from the early 2000s until 2015/2016. 

When we started this project, the politics of the Ukrainian Civil War had turned off the tap on this bottomless supply of high-quality military surplus. With German uniforms making their way into the hands of Russian separatists, the Bundeswehr had ceased all public auctions of Flecktarn uniforms — opting instead to burn their surplus.

Our process takes the iconic Flecktarn pattern and 'scorches' it with a reactive dye, darkening the print and giving each piece a unique appearance. Black, but not quite black — the color of the fabric shifts in the light.

After the dye bath, each field shirt is washed with a binding agent, removing any residual dye. The resulting Versengtarn fabric will not leech color or chemicals — it is clean enough to put in your mouth (if you're into that.)

Each field shirt is professionally dyed in house at KommandoStore.

Flecktarn black

I love this parka, mine is dyed very dark but you can still see the different shadeed spots from the original flecktarn. It looks great and shows no signs of use other than the loop areas where a name patch once sat. Most people won’t even realize it’s camo. This parka is going to be my new night camo, who needs multicam black when you have this? Attached is pictures of said parka with dog, enjoy.

Awesome Jacket

I always wanted these jackets, but they sold out quickly. Found this one that fits perfectly, the dye they use is cool because it changes colors depending on the light. Changes from almost black to dark warm umbras and reds, but it's all subtle enough to wear out and not look like obvious military surplus.

Great jacket for mild winters or nights.

You can see (ignoring the dust on the mirror) where the sunlight through the window brings out those umbra colors on the bottom of the jacket in my emo picture. Out in the sun it all looks like that.
