Description
Austrian Bundesheer Issue
This is a genuine field jacket from the Austrian Army, the Bundesheer, cut as a lightweight outer layer for daily duty and field wear. It has a clean, low-profile front, zippered pockets that keep small items secure, and hook-and-loop panels for name tapes and insignia. Collectors, reenactors and anyone who wants a practical olive work jacket with real military provenance will get use out of it.
Features
- Cotton-Polyester Blend — The shell mixes cotton for comfort with polyester for strength and quicker drying.
- Concealed Button Placket — A fabric fly covers the front buttons, so the jacket has a smooth face with no hardware to snag on gear.
- Zippered Chest Pockets — Two vertical zip pockets on the chest hold a phone, notebook or papers and close fully.
- Zippered Sleeve Pockets — Each upper arm carries a vertical zip pocket for pens, a light or other small items you want within reach.
- Hook-and-Loop Insignia Panels — Velcro-style panels on both sleeves and above the left chest pocket accept patches and a name tape that press on and peel off.
- Adjustable Button Cuffs — Tab closures at the wrists let you snug the sleeves down or open them up for airflow.
- Elasticated Hem — Elastic at the sides and back of the waist gathers the hem to keep the jacket close to the body.
- Point Collar and Yoke — A shirt-style collar and a stitched shoulder yoke give the jacket its structured, uniform look.
Cut and Construction
The jacket is made to the Austrian Army's own pattern in a solid olive shade, with matching olive zippers and buttons throughout. It sits at the waist and has a roomy body, so it layers over a shirt or light sweater. Because it is original government issue, the cut, fabric and fittings are the ones the Bundesheer specified, which matters to collectors and reenactors.

Solid jacket for the priceGot this for working outside, it's tough and fits good. Smelled a little like old army surplus when I opened it but aired out quick. No complaints.

Great light jacketNice jacket for working around the house and yard. Fast shipping.

Decent field jacketDecent used field jacket, nice material and well built. I got the III/IV-96/100 which looks like US Medium with some room for shirts underneath. My jacket is a little faded and does not look like the one in the picture.
well made and good material.
Price is a little bit off though.

Good quality, big 'ink' stainThe jacket itself is good quality and came with very little wear. Unfortunately, mine also had a BIG ink? stain on the front left pocket, which did not wash out. I have read reviews of this happening [maybe here] so either I got someone else's return, or the Austrian Army issues faulty pens! So it's relegated to work-wear around the house. Otherwise, the fit is good, fits as I would expect a 104-108 would based on the British smock sizing. I would have got the long size for longer sleeves if available. Mine came with button sleeves. I wish it had the velcro sleeve closure and elastic waist.

stain!

FlawlessI recently bought one of these from Varusteleka and was horribly disappointed. The item was heavily worn and missing many zipper pulls. I threw it right in the garbage. However, the one I received from KeepShooting was apparently brand new with "made in Austria" tag still attached. A wonderful, lightweight field jacket that doesn't look overly military and is exceedingly high quality. Fit me like a glove, too. I adore Austrian surplus clothes as they fit my Anglo-Saxon-descended self like very few civilian items in the US will.
