Belgium OD Field Shirt

Belgian Army Field Shirt

This is a genuine Belgian Army field shirt in OD green cotton, cut as a long-sleeve uniform shirt with a covered front and two chest pockets. It works as a light outer layer for range days, hunting, camp work and yard work, and it is a correct piece for collectors and reenactors building Belgian kit. Because it was made for the army, its pattern and fittings follow the issued design.

Features

• Cotton Fabric — The shirt is made from cotton, which breathes well and is comfortable against the skin in warm weather.
• OD Green Color — OD, short for olive drab, is the flat military olive that blends into woodland and field settings.
• Concealed Front Placket — A fabric fly covers the front closure, so the shirt has a clean line and nothing catches on pack straps or webbing.
• Two Flap Chest Pockets — Patch pockets on each side of the chest have flaps that close over the top to keep small items from falling out.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Straps on each shoulder, called epaulettes, are where rank slides were worn on the issued uniform.
• Belgian Flag Sleeve Patch — The national flag in black, yellow and red is sewn to the upper sleeve, marking the shirt as Belgian issue.
• Fastening Cuffs — The cuffs close at the wrist, so you can keep sleeves snug against brush and insects or open them to roll up.
• Point Collar — A standard shirt collar sits flat whether you wear the front fully closed or open at the neck.

Genuine Belgian Issue

This shirt was issued by the Belgian Army, not made for the civilian market, and it carries the military cut and details of the uniform it came from. The sewn-in label at the collar and the flag on the sleeve are part of that original specification. If you want authentic European military clothing over a fashion take on it, this is the real article.
