Austrian Anzug 03 Tanker Jacket, Surplus
Would you like to witness the sweet sounds of earth-shattering steel tracks and tank turbines with the magnificent Alps as a backdrop? That’s probably not going to happen, but now you can wear a genuine Austrian tanker jacket that was possibly worn by someone involved with Alpine armor troops. This is most likely a one-off lot, so be quick about it.

Features
These Anzug Tanker Jackets might be even cooler than the Anzug basic field jackets, and that is saying a lot! They have a lot in common, but with closer inspection, you’ll see that these tanker jackets have details similar to bomber jackets. You have a ribbed hem and cuffs, slanted front pockets, and a zippered front. The hem is short so it won’t hang under your ass or anywhere else for that matter – you don’t want to get stuck on anything while crawling around inside a metal monster. The upper back has an opening (with hook and loop closure) which you can use to pull out the rescue loop found in many armor crew overalls.
- Two zippered side pockets
- Zippered sleeve pocket with pen holders on top
- Collar with hook and loop tab
- Loop areas for name tag and other patches
- Anzug-like olive green color
Materials and care
Outer fabric 65% polyester, 35% cotton. Lining 100% polyamide, and insulation 100% polyester. Wash in 40°C / 104°F , do not bleach. Low heat iron and tumbling, if you must.
Size info
First the easy size, then the user's recommended height and chest circumference. These run a tad large, so do not pick a larger size "just in case". For example, a 178 cm / 5'10" tall person with a 115cm / 45" chest could wear a Medium Regular jacket quite nicely.
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.

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 |

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.

Takissa on tosiaan vuori, minkä vuoksi tämä ei ole mikään kesäpäivien takki. On omiaan keväällä, syksyllä ja leudoilla talvikeleillä. Vyötärön ja ranteiden resorit kiristävät terhakasti, ei käy viima sisään. Povitasku olisi kiva, mutta sellaista ei löydy.
Oma yksilöni on varsin mukavassa kunnossa. Tyylikäs, reteäkin vaatekappale, kunhan tällaisen hieman pilottimaisen takin pussimaisuuteen silmä tottuu (puolipitkien takkien jälkeen).
