German Army Tropical T-Shirt

Bundeswehr Tropical Tee

This short-sleeve T-shirt was issued by the German Bundeswehr for wear in hot climates, either under body armor and load-bearing gear or as an outer layer in camp. It is cut from a cotton and polyamide blend in a tan shade and has a loose weave that lets air move through the fabric. It suits anyone who works or trains in the heat, and collectors and reenactors who want a genuine piece of German issue.

Features

• Cotton And Polyamide Blend — Cotton keeps the shirt soft against the skin, and polyamide, a tough synthetic in the nylon family, adds strength and helps it dry faster.
• Loose Tropical Weave — The open knit lets air pass through, so the shirt stays cooler in warm weather and under a plate carrier.
• German Flag On Both Sleeves — A black, red and gold national flag patch is sewn to each upper arm, as on issued Bundeswehr shirts.
• Hook-And-Loop Chest Strips — Two horizontal strips of hook-and-loop fastener (the same system as Velcro) on the chest hold name tapes and insignia, which press on and peel off without sewing.
• Ribbed Crew Collar — A ribbed, stretchy neckband keeps its shape and sits flat under a jacket or shirt collar.
• Tan Colorway — The tan shade matches desert and arid-pattern uniforms and gear.
• Short-Sleeve Cut — Short sleeves leave the forearms free for heat and keep the arms unrestricted when you carry gear.
• Genuine Government Issue — The shirt was made for and issued by the German armed forces, so it is the real item a soldier wore.

Issued Bundeswehr Kit

The Bundeswehr is Germany's federal armed forces, and this tropical shirt belongs to its warm-weather clothing for overseas deployment. It follows the issued specification, with flag patches on both sleeves and hook-and-loop chest strips for identification. Collectors want it as original kit, and anyone wearing it gets a plain T-shirt built to a military standard.
