The Austrian Bundesheer hung on to the Germanic traditions in field gear long after the war. These Y-suspenders are a splendid example of this and were still made in the '70s.
As good as black leather suspenders get, these are quite similar to the WW2 German model, but with some differences in the details, the biggest ones being the added padding, "open" strap connection piece, and a slightly different rear strap.
Although these are not identical to the WW2 suspenders, function-wise they are exactly the same. This means you can use an A-frame, Tornister, and even the East German Sturmgepack with these.
Old Austrian military surplus
In used, but serviceable condition. The appearance is scruffy and we recommend a thorough cleaning and using leather oil or grease to soften these before serious action.

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.
