German Navy Middy Shirt

German Navy Middy

The middy is the traditional sailor's pullover blouse, and this one is genuine German Navy issue. It has the broad square sailor collar, a deep V-neck closed with a knotted cord, and long sleeves with fastened cuffs. Collectors, naval reenactors and anyone assembling an authentic German sailor's uniform will find it the right piece. It is equally good as a heavy, distinctive shirt for everyday wear.

Features

• Genuine German Navy Issue — This is original government-issue clothing, not a commercial copy made for the costume trade.
• Square Sailor Collar — The wide collar that falls flat across the shoulders and back is the defining mark of a naval middy.
• Knotted Cord Neck Closure — A dark cord laces across the V-neck and ties off in a decorative knot at the chest.
• Pullover Construction — The shirt has no front button placket and goes on over the head like a sweater.
• Long Sleeves With Fastened Cuffs — Deep cuffs close at the wrist to keep the sleeves snug.
• Cotton, Polyester And Wool Blend — Wool adds warmth and body, while cotton and polyester help the fabric hold its shape.
• Dark Navy Color — The deep navy shade reads almost black and matches the traditional naval dress palette.
• Straight Hip-Length Cut — The body hangs straight to the hip, so you can wear it loose or tuck it into trousers.

Original Naval Pattern

The shirt follows the classic sailor's blouse layout German naval ratings have worn for generations: a square collar, a laced V-neck and a plain pullover body. The fabric is a cotton, polyester and wool blend with a visible weave and a weightier feel than a standard cotton shirt. Because it is issued kit, the cut and details match what was actually worn in service, which matters to anyone building an accurate uniform.
