Designed for tropical (Tropen) deployment, these Bundeswehr issue t-shirts are one of our most popular items. They are fast drying, lightweight, and comfortable in a wide variety of conditions.
Our Versengtarn dying process permanently transforms the sand colored tropen tee into a two-toned dark black shirt with a clean, futuristic fit and finish. The result is easily adaptable to any wardrobe, and far more durable than your standard tee.
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.)
Order your normal t-shirt size for a just-close-enough, no-nonsense baselayer or go up a size for a relaxed, loose fit.
Manufacturing & Lead Time Information
- Each shirt is professionally dyed in Minnesota
- Our experienced dye house has handled all Versengtarn and Wellenbrecher items to date, with a high degree of consistency and professionalism
- We expect all orders to ship immediately after dying and inspection, roughly 2-3 weeks after ordering.
- 68% Cotton / 32% Poly
- Two-layer construction baselayer wicks perspiration, transferring to outer layer, keeping user dry
- Reinforced seams and high tensile nylon thread used throughout
- Outer layer dries fast to keep user cool
- Ribbed elastic collar
- Sleeves slightly tapered, kept close to the body without trapping excess heat
- Velcro tabs for rank insignia
- German flag insignia on shoulders
Normal Variation
- The majority of shirts have a cotton ribbed collar (which dyes black) and tan loop strips across the chest
- A minority of shirts have a grey nylon ribbed collar, and grey loop strips across the chest
- We will honor color requests to the extent stock allows. If you would like to request a specific configuration please include an order note
Versengtarn Modifications
- Reactive dye selectively darkens cotton fibers leaving nylon yarns unaffected---this creates a "two tone" appearance
- Dye treatment is permanent, non-toxic, and non-leaching
- Shirts arrive washed and ready to wear with no residual dye

Comfortable AND stylish!
I've gotta say, I love these shirts more than I initially thought I would. I'm hoping that they do another run sometime in the near future!
A shirt
It’s a shirt. You wear it. Shirts work with everything. It’s like the other german shirts they have, but this one is black. Black goes with everything. Oh, it’s comfy too. Plus, the German flags are dyed dark and subdued, so as I rappel-breach that top-story apartment complex with my Maglight duct taped to my MP5, the baddies won’t know if I’m German or French or Russian. OPSEC yo.
