German Army Blue Wool Scarf

Bundeswehr Navy Wool Scarf

This navy blue knit scarf was issued by the Bundeswehr, Germany's armed forces, to German Army and Luftwaffe (German Air Force) personnel. It is a plain, warm cold-weather layer that tucks into a coat collar or wraps twice around the neck. It suits anyone who wants a dependable winter scarf with real military provenance, as well as collectors and reenactors building out Luftwaffe or Bundeswehr uniform kit.

Features

• Genuine Bundeswehr Issue — This scarf was produced for and issued by the German military, so it is original government kit and not a commercial copy.
• 80% Wool, 20% Polyamide — Wool supplies the warmth, and the polyamide (a nylon fiber) adds strength so the knit keeps its shape.
• Thick, Dense Knit — A tight, heavy knit blocks wind at the neck better than a loose, open weave.
• Navy Blue Colorway — The dark blue matches Luftwaffe dress and goes with most civilian outerwear.
• Ribbed Ends — Rib-knit bands finish each end of the scarf.
• Approx. 47 x 13 Inches — At roughly 120 x 33 cm, it is long enough to wrap and wide enough to cover the throat and upper chest.
• Light 200 g Weight — At about 7 oz, it packs into a jacket pocket or daypack when you take it off.

Issue Specification

The scarf was made to the Bundeswehr's own requirement as a cold-weather item for Army and Luftwaffe personnel. It comes in navy blue with no added logos, branding or decoration. Military procurement put durability first, which is why the wool is blended with polyamide and knitted thick. Because it is original issue, you get the scarf German service members actually wore.
