Austrian Anzug 03 Field Jacket, Surplus
Austrian field jacket, the model of 2003 - these are almost vintage by now! Probably inspired by the US Army ECWCS Gore-Tex jacket, but made of tough cotton/polyester blend. The colour is olive drab of the typical Bundesheer shade.

Austrian field jacket, the model of 2003 - these are almost vintage by now! Probably inspired by the US Army ECWCS Gore-Tex jacket, but made of tough cotton/polyester blend. The colour is olive drab of the typical Bundesheer shade.
- A modern military jacket
- Thick polycotton blend
- Roomy cut!
This Austrian field jacket resembles the US ECWCS parka cut-wise, most notably it's a poly-cotton blend and has no hood. Zipper closure secured with buttons. The hem is fairly short for a field jacket, but it looks better in urban use. The collar offers good protection when raised and tightened, but can be worn loose and folded too.
The front has four pockets with zipper closure, the top ones are hidden behind folds of fabric. A flat pocket is found on the left sleeve and hidden inside pockets on both sides. Drawstring adjustments are found at the hem and waist, though they might have been removed by the previous user. The channels are still there so a piece of string can be used to fix it, in case you miss the feature.
Size info
First the easy size, then the user's recommended height and chest circumference. These run a tad large to fit clothes underneath, so do not oversize. If you intend to use this as a casual jacket, picking a notch slimmer size than the measurements say would do just fine.
Our model in the main picture has a 96 cm / 38"chest, but the jacket worn is Small Regular (171-179 / 84-92 cm) / (5' 7" - 5' 11" / 33" - 36") and fits much better.
The Austrian size system is explained in detail on our Austrian jacket size chart page. If you are already familiar with Austrian sizing and want to know how we came up with the easy sizes, below is our logic as a chart. All possible sizes in the chart are not manufactured of course.
| Width / Height | Short | Regular | Long | X-Long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X-Small | 80-84 I-II | 80-84 III-IV | 80-84 V-VI | 80-84 VII-VIII |
| Small | 88-92 I-II | 88-92 III-IV | 88-92 V-VI | 88-92 VII-VIII |
| Medium | 96-100 I-II | 96-100 III-IV | 96-100 V-VI | 96-100 VII-VIII |
| Large | 104-108 I-II | 104-108 III-IV | 104-108 V-VI | 104-108 VII-VIII |
| X-Large | 112-116 I-II | 112-116 III-IV | 112-116 V-VI | 112-116 VII-VIII |
| 2X-Large | 120-124 I-II | 120-124 III-IV | 120-124 V-VI | 120-124 VII-VIII |
| 3X-Large | 128-132 I-II | 128-132 III-IV | 128-132 V-VI | 128-132 VII-VIII |
Austrian surplus
In used but serviceable condition. Some tie strings or an occasional button might be missing at worst.

Austrian surplus
Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.
After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.

It's even more comfortable to the touch, than my 1993 German Flecktarn Parka which is also 85% Cotton/15% Poly.. but..
I feel I HAVE to describe the only downfall to this jacket; to put the reader in perspective; I am 177cm high and skinny chest of 92cm. I got the smallest jacket (160-170 / 88-92) because I wanted a slightly more fitted/short jacket. The sleeves are perfect. the height of the jacket is perfect, it reaches just above my bum. with the drawstrings across the waist/hips, it fits extremely well. But the armpits region is HUGE, really HUGE. There is so much slack, there is a weird amount of material that just hangs behind my arms. I have small arms too, which doesn't help.
I am also a pretty fortunate owner of an Austrian Dachstein Wool sweater. And I almost believe that this jacket is the PERFECT companion for that sweater; while wearing the sweater, the armpits don't slack anymore. So this Jacket has just turned out to be the shell for the heavy duty Dachstein sweater.
Great buy! I recommend for big arms, I don't recommend for skinny arms like me.

Tyget i själva jackan är väldigt mjukt och skönt mot huden och håller vinden borta hyggligt väl, även om den inte är vindtät per se. Dock är tyget tillräckligt tätvävt för att det inte skall blåsa rakt igenom.

Ainut vaan, että kannattaa ottaa kokoa paria pienempi takki rinnanympärykseltään mihin olet tottunut, nämä ovat reiluja!
Näitähän saa vaikka värjättyä mustaksi jos vihreä ei nappaa, että älä nyt ainakaan värin takia jätä hankkimatta!

Mine had ripped drawcords, a busted pocket zipper, a busted pocket zipper pull tab ( these have latchlocked zippers so it means the zipper is unuseable) and the main zipper is fraying at the bottom.
That said, no holes OR tears and is very structurally sound. Not bad at all AND repairable, but not perfect.
Your mileage may vary.

Bought a second jacket in a size down - the overall fit is much improved and this second jacket is 100% intact. No rips, repairs, missing buttons or broken zippers.
You could end up with either a lemon or a unicorn and anything in between, but even the busted ones are worth the money because you can afford to fix them up at this price point.

Käytän tätä ihan arkitakkina, täällä idässä aika moni kulkee metsävaatteissa, taskut on toimivat ja leikkaus tyylikäs, alle mahtuu lämmintä vaikka otin omaa kokoani pienemmän.
Velcrot raksin pois sekä katkaisin niskassa roikkuva nauhat, saamani yksilö on myös tosi kulunut, tähän hintaan en parempaa kyllä odottanutkaan.
