Swiss Army Tricot Shirt

Swiss Army Tricot Shirt

This long-sleeve knit shirt was issued to the Swiss Army as a base and mid layer, worn under field jackets and sweaters. It is cut from cotton tricot, a knitted fabric with natural stretch, so it sits close to the body without binding. A quarter-zip stand collar lets you seal the neck against wind or open it up when you are working hard. It suits hunters, campers, surplus collectors and anyone who wants a plain, durable layer for cool weather.

Features

• Cotton Tricot Knit — The knitted cotton gives with movement and breathes better than a woven shirt worn next to the skin.
• Quarter-Zip Front — A short zipper below the collar opens the neck to vent heat or closes it for warmth.
• Stand-Up Collar — Zipped up, the high collar covers the neck and fills the gap under a jacket collar.
• Ribbed Knit Cuffs — Snug cuffs hold the sleeves at the wrist and keep cold air from running up your arms.
• Close Layering Fit — The trim cut fits under a field jacket, smock or sweater without bunching.
• Olive Brown Color — A muted earth tone that pairs with most military and outdoor outerwear.
• Swiss Army Issue — Authentic government kit made for and issued to the Swiss armed forces.

Swiss Military Knitwear

Switzerland equips its soldiers for long stretches in alpine cold, and its layering garments are built to be worn hard. This shirt is the real issued item, with the original cut, collar and zip. That makes it a sound choice for reenactors and collectors as well as anyone who wants practical cold-weather clothing with genuine provenance.
