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 4-5 weeks after September 20th
- 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
