East German OD V-Neck Sweater

NVA Issue V-Neck Sweater

This olive drab V-neck sweater was issued by the East German Army, the Nationale Volksarmee (NVA). It is a plain pullover knit meant to add warmth under a field jacket or over a shirt, and the V-neck leaves room for a collar and tie. Collectors, reenactors and anyone who wants a practical military knit will find it useful in cool weather.

Features

• Cotton And Wool Blend — The knit combines wool for warmth with cotton for a softer feel against the skin.
• OD Green Colorway — The sweater is olive drab (OD), the muted green-brown worn across military uniforms.
• Ribbed V-Neck Collar — A deep V finished in close ribbing sits neatly over a collared shirt.
• Vertical Rib Panels — Raised ribbed lines run down the front and along the sleeves, giving the knit its issue-pattern texture.
• Ribbed Cuffs And Waistband — Stretch-knit bands at the wrists and hem hold their shape and keep cold air out.
• Long Sleeves — Full-length sleeves cover the arms and fit under a field jacket or parka.
• Pullover Construction — The sweater has no buttons or zips, so there is no hardware to snag on webbing or straps.
• Genuine East German Issue — Each piece is original NVA kit, made for the East German armed forces.

Genuine East German Issue

The NVA was the army of the German Democratic Republic, and its uniform items are now collected for their Cold War history. This sweater is issued kit made to the army's own specification, not a commercial copy. That makes it a sound choice for an accurate NVA impression and a sturdy, plain layer for everyday wear.
