Have you always wanted to sniff used underwear? Don’t bother with these because they don’t smell. However, they are otherwise very nice green cotton long johns from the Austrian army. Buy these and you can afford better drinks when trying out Finnish kalsarikännit.

In case you are on a recon mission to find cheap long johns but would prefer for them to remain intact as long as possible, the military surplus is your magical ticket. These were made to survive through active military life, and they will survive you, too.

Materials and care

These long underpants are 100% cotton. The tag says that you can wash them at 95 degrees Celsius (203 F) but no need to boil them alive. Normal temperature for cotton clothes is enough, i.e. 40 degrees Celsius (104 F).

Choosing the right size

The size system is not surprisingly Austrian. The larger the number, the bigger the long johns. To clarify things a bit, we put the recommended average waist circumference for each size in the charts below. Note that these are very stretchy at the waist, so finding the perfect fit isn’t precision engineering. A frugal family can manage with one pair that you rotate from one family member to another.

Used Austrian military surplus but clean and intact.

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.
