German Army Tropical Camo Field Shirt

Bundeswehr Tropentarn Shirt

This is the German Army field shirt in tropical camouflage, known in Germany as Tropentarn. It is the desert version of the Bundeswehr's spotted Flecktarn pattern, issued for arid and hot-climate deployments. It is a long-sleeve combat shirt with plenty of pocket space, and it suits collectors, reenactors and anyone who wants an issued uniform shirt for outdoor use or everyday wear.

Features

• Tropentarn Camouflage — Sand, brown and green flecks break up the outline against dry ground and scrub, the way the pattern was designed to in the field.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — The fabric combines cotton for comfort and breathability with polyester for strength.
• Two Flapped Chest Pockets — Large patch pockets on each side of the chest close under button-down flaps so small items stay put.
• Upper Sleeve Pocket — A flapped pocket on the left arm holds a pen, notebook or other small kit you want within reach.
• Hook-And-Loop Name Tape Panel — A strip of hook-and-loop fastener (the same idea as Velcro) above the right chest pocket accepts a name tape or patch.
• German Flag On Sleeve — The national flag sits on the left upper sleeve, as it does on issued Bundeswehr shirts.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Buttoned straps on each shoulder carry rank slides in service use and can hold a strap in place.
• Button Front And Cuffs — The shirt closes with buttons down the front, and the buttoned cuffs let you snug the sleeves or roll them back.
• Point Collar — A standard collar sits flat when the shirt is worn open over a T-shirt or buttoned up under a jacket.

Original Issue Spec

This shirt was made for the German Armed Forces, not for the civilian market, so the cut, pocket layout and hardware follow the military's own pattern. A sizing label is sewn inside the collar. Many buyers want genuine issued kit because it was built to a government standard and carries real provenance, which matters for a collection, a period-correct reenactment impression or a field shirt that is meant to work.
