German Military Tricot Shirt

German Army Tricot Shirt

This is a German Army tricot shirt, a long-sleeve knit pullover made to be worn as a layer under field jackets or on its own in camp and around the barracks. The quarter-length zip lets you open the neck when you are working hard and close it up when the wind picks up. It suits anyone who wants a practical olive green layer for outdoor work, hunting, range days or everyday wear, as well as collectors and reenactors building a Bundeswehr kit.

Features

• Cotton Tricot Knit — Tricot is a fine, close knit fabric, so the shirt moves with you and lies smoothly under an outer layer.
• Quarter-Zip Neck — A zip runs from the collar to mid-chest, letting you vent heat or seal the neck without pulling the shirt off.
• Fold-Down Collar — The collar can be worn turned down like a polo or zipped up to cover the back of the neck.
• Camouflage-Print Trim — The inside of the collar and the zip placket are lined in a camouflage print that shows when the neck is open.
• Olive Green Colorway — The solid OD (olive drab) green blends with most military and outdoor clothing.
• Deep Knit Cuffs — Long cuffs at the wrists sit snugly and tuck easily under gloves or jacket sleeves.
• Long Pullover Cut — A long body and sleeves keep the shirt tucked in and the wrists covered when you reach or bend.
• German Army Issue — Made for the German armed forces, so you get the original government item rather than a commercial copy.

Original Bundeswehr Kit

The shirt comes from German Army stocks and is built to the service's own pattern, from the cotton knit body to the zip neck and camo-trimmed collar. It is designed as a base or mid layer, sitting comfortably under a field shirt, smock or parka. For anyone assembling an authentic German uniform, it fills the layer worn beneath the field jacket with the genuine issued piece.
