Romanian Army OD Field Shirt

Romanian Issue Field Shirt

This is a genuine Romanian Army field shirt in solid olive drab (OD), the muted green worn by Romanian troops before the M90 and M94 camouflage patterns arrived. It was cut as a working uniform shirt for Cold War era field service, with two chest pockets and a plain button front. Collectors and reenactors building a Warsaw Pact era Romanian kit want it for that reason, and it also makes a sturdy everyday overshirt for outdoor work.

Features

• Genuine Romanian Army Issue — Each shirt was originally made for and issued to the Romanian military, so it carries real provenance rather than a commercial maker's take on the design.
• Solid Olive Drab Color — The single flat OD shade predates Romania's camouflage uniforms and suits a period-correct Cold War impression.
• Two Button-Flap Chest Pockets — Patch pockets on each side of the chest close with a buttoned flap to keep a notebook, map or small items from falling out.
• Shoulder Epaulets — Buttoned straps on each shoulder held rank slides on issue and still keep a rifle sling or pack strap from sliding off.
• Button Front Closure — A full placket of plain buttons runs from the collar to the hem.
• Open Camp Collar — The collar lies flat and open at the neck, which suits the shirt to warm weather wear.
• Button Cuffs — Single-button cuffs close at the wrist or open up when you roll the sleeves.
• Cotton Construction — The cotton fabric breathes in warm weather and softens as you wear and wash it.

Original Specification

The shirt follows the Romanian Army's own pattern for a long-sleeve OD field shirt from the Cold War period: open collar, epaulets, twin flapped chest pockets and buttoned cuffs. It has a straight shirttail hem, so you can tuck it into trousers for a uniform look or wear it out as a light jacket. For anyone assembling Eastern Bloc kit, it is the issued garment, not a stand-in.
