BW Service Shirt, Surplus. Lekalooks 2011, Outi. "I want unique things in my wardrobe. I use a lot of second-hand clothes, since I enjoy mixing up my style often, but do not want to be out buying new stuff all the time. I also customise clothes to fit me better if the cut isn't quite right, or update them if they're not quite "today". My everyday style is quite boyish, so military surplus is often just the ticket for me. I especially enjoy the classic lines and high quality and durable materials often found in them. Fortunately my figure makes it easy for me to wear men's clothing with minimal effort."

A timeless service shirt with a fold-down collar, chest pockets and button closure. These are the softest and most comfortable shirts of this style we've come across! Used German Bundeswehr issue.

Cheap, stylish and straight-up proper army shirt. The colour is greyish olive drab.

Machine wash at 60° C / 140° F. These sometimes have a warehouse smell, so it's best to wash it right away before using. The fabric doesn't wrinkle easily, so you won't need to iron these to look sharp.

Sizing

First the easy size, then chest circumference of the user. If you know special things or want to learn more, read on.

European dress shirt sizes are in centimetres, measured from the base of the neck. Below is a chart with actual measurements of the garment, such as width at the chest and back length laid flat. Do note that used clothes will have variance, but this should definitely help!

Used German surplus

In used but perfectly serviceable condition. The model is over 30 years old and the most recent ones were made around the year 2000, so there's variance in colour depending on the year of manufacture and also wear. Some shirts may still have the previous user's name tag attached.

Tän ja itävaltaversion tuotekuvat toimivat sinänsä tarjoiluehdotuksina. Tässä mitat & istuvuus on sen verran paree ja kangas on sen verta paksumpaa ja pehmeämpää, että kaulus näyttää paremmalta kiinni eikä hihoja tee mieli kääriä laisinkaan. Bundesheerin paita sen sijaan on ohkaisempi ja paljon luontevampi pitää napit auki ja hihat rullalla. Kirkkaasti parempi välikerroksen paita.

Ordered one recently, thinner and softer than anticipated, which was perfect! Mild, uniform wear, minimum fading in spots.
Will order again.

One of the two I ordered had damage on the front that was awkwardly fixed - front left pouch was torn off at some point? (so that one will be a 'work' shirt). The other one will be a favourite. Will order a new one next time I buy something from the site and adjust my rating depending on the quality of that one.

Excellent shirt that kept me cool during the heat, and the bite out of the wind during the cold. Very sturdy, and definitely worth the money. Only issue would be the length of the arms, as it has been warned with German equipment that they may be a bit too short. Just keep that in mind when purchacing.

I purchased a size small and have no complaints. The shirt showed very minimal wear. No repairs, rips, or fraying. A very light, soft texture to the fabric makes me think that this will do nicely as a top layer over a t-shirt in warm weather, or even under a jacket as an extra layer in colder climates. The left breast pocket has a pen pocket inside with the corresponding hole through the top of the pocket flap. Jack T. warned in his review about the possibility of the arms being too short. I did not encounter this problem in the size I ordered.

"Paidat ovat käytettyjä, mutta hyväkuntoisia. "
Tilasin tarkoituksella kerralla kolme kun tavoitteena oli saada edes yksi hyväkuntoinen. No, yksi oli vaikka kaikkien piti olla. Laitoin kaikki vaihtoon lähinnä kuitenkin siksi, että vaikka muutoin oli ihan soppeli koko, niin hihat aivan liika lyhkäset.
Korjaan arvostelun paremmaksi jos korvaavat ovat kuten kuvattu.

This is pretty much the austrian service shirt.
Feels the same and almost looks the same. If you are a hardcore BW collector have at it but if you don't really care have a look at the austrian shirt for a third of the price before buying this One.

I would recommend this one for a Friend if the austrian service shirt runs out of stock.

Erittäin hyvä paita. Mukava päällä, neutraali ja miellyttävä. Kestäväkin. Käytin kolmea viheriää BW-paitaani kymmenen vuotta, mutta nyt piti työntää viimeinen remulootaan, kun kaulukset ja hihat alkoivat väkisin hipua sellaiseen kuntoon ettei enää ilennyt päälleen vetää mihinkään ihmisten ilmoille. Rymyhommissa menee vielä.

Well made and very slightly worn. Its a comfortable shirt. Slightly smaller and thinner than expected but I really like it.
