Austrian Pullover, Green, Surplus

A round-collared Austrian olive green pullover. A simple army sweater with rib stitched cuffs and collar, and epaulets. Fairly thin wool mix so you won’t turn into a sweaty pig even if you use this indoors. Excellent condition, not stretched, tattered, or torn.

There are pullovers from different manufacturers and eras, some from the golden 80s. Therefore the insignia on the sleeves also varies. Some have patches on both sleeves, others on just one, and there are also those with no insignia whatsoever. There is a hook & loop slot for a name tag on the chest.

Materials and care

Because there are shirts from different manufacturers and eras here, also the materials and the shade of green also vary a bit. For us regular folks, these are all olive green but some fashion icon would probably be able to name five fantastic shades for these. These are made of 50% wool and 50% different synthetic materials.

If you ever need to wash these, it is best to do it at 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) using a wool cycle.

Size info

In addition to the simple sizing system, we have added the recommended chest circumference in centimeters in the brackets. If you go with your chest size, you get a pretty nice fit. It is not an ultra-slim hipster fit, nor is it an army tent. Because these come in the “Soldier” cut, the pullover might bulge a bit in the midriff department if your belly circumference is considerably bigger than the chest.

Condition

Austrian military surplus but in excellent condition. Either these are unissued or they have been only used in a cozy office.
