Italian Army OD Tank Top

Italian Army Base Layer

This is a sleeveless olive drab tank top from the Italian Army, cut to sit under a uniform shirt or field jacket as a base layer. In hot weather or during training it works as an outer layer, too. A small embroidered shield on the chest carries the Italian flag, which marks it as Italian kit at a glance. Collectors of European surplus, reenactors and anyone who wants a plain OD tank with real military provenance will find it useful.

Features

• OD Green Color — OD stands for olive drab, the muted green used across military clothing because it pairs with almost any uniform or field layer.
• Ribbed Knit Fabric — The body is a fine vertical rib knit, a stretchy weave that follows the torso closely without feeling tight.
• Embroidered Tricolor Shield — A shield-shaped patch on the left chest is stitched with the green, white and red of the Italian flag.
• Ribbed Neck And Armholes — Matching ribbed binding finishes the rounded neckline and both armholes.
• Sleeveless Cut — The classic tank shape leaves the shoulders free and layers cleanly under a shirt or jacket.
• Made In Italy — The label sewn inside the neck reads Made in Italy.
• Genuine Italian Army Issue — This is original government-issue clothing produced for Italian forces.

Authentic Italian Issue

Issued clothing has to meet a military supply standard, which is why surplus undershirts like this one are worth owning as everyday wear and as part of a period kit. The OD color and flag shield tie it to the Italian Army, and the Made in Italy label confirms where it was produced. For reenactors assembling an Italian impression, or collectors filling out a shelf of European base layers, it is the real item.
