German Navy Field Shirt

Bundeswehr Navy Shirt

This light blue long-sleeve shirt is genuine German military issue, made for the naval branch of the Bundeswehr, Germany's armed forces. It was cut as a practical service shirt, with two buttoned chest pockets, shoulder straps for rank insignia and the national flag on both sleeves. Collectors, reenactors and anyone who wants a well-made everyday button-up with real military provenance will find it a straightforward buy.

Features

• Cotton-Polyester Blend — The fabric mixes cotton for comfort against the skin with polyester for strength.
• Light Blue Naval Shade — The pale blue color is the German Navy's service shirt shade, distinct from the olive and camouflage shirts of the land forces.
• Twin Flap Chest Pockets — Two patch pockets sit on the chest, each closed by a flap with a single button so small items stay put.
• Buttoned Shoulder Straps — Epaulettes, the fabric straps across each shoulder, button down at the collar end and were used to carry rank slides.
• German Flag Sleeve Patches — A black, red and gold national flag patch is sewn to each upper sleeve.
• Six-Button Front — A full placket closes with pale buttons from collar to hem.
• Point Collar — The collar sits neatly buttoned at the neck or open for a more relaxed look.
• Buttoned Cuffs — Single-button cuffs close at the wrist and unbutton to roll the sleeves up.
• Issue Label Inside Collar — A printed label sewn inside the neck carries the original manufacturer and issue details.

Issue Specification

Every shirt here was produced for the German armed forces to their own pattern, which is why the pocket layout, shoulder straps and flag patches match from one to the next. The cotton-polyester cloth and plain tailored cut make it as easy to wear with jeans as with the rest of a period uniform. For a collection or a Bundeswehr naval impression, it gives you the actual issued article rather than an approximation.
