The French make their long sleeve shirts just as well as the Germans, maybe even better. A superior choice for every activity where you need a durable cotton shirt with long sleeves and don't mind it being French. Used, but intact and washed.
The most technical features of this shirt are the tall zippered collar and button-up cuffs. The natural elasticity and softness of the cotton weave used on these makes this probably the most comfortable long-sleeve top ever made. The colour shade is greenish gray, won't provoke strong thoughts and blends in the world around you, unless it's an urban battlefield of young people in slim-fit suits.
A cotton shirt is fine for everyday use on its own. For higher activity levels, a moisture-wicking shirt underneath is a good idea. Being cheap and durable, these make for excellent work shirts if you plan on doing something else than sitting in front of a computer screen. Or hey, why shouldn't they work in that too?
Material and care
Made of 100 % veeery comfy cotton (we can't stress this enough), machine wash at 60 degrees Celsius.
Size info
Sizes indicate the user's recommended chest circumference in centimetres but we've converted them to inches for your convenience. The fit is a bit on the tight side but certainly not compressive so if you're smack in between two sizes, pick the smaller one for a tight fit or the larger one for a regular fit. Again, the fabric is slightly elastic thanks to the weave style.
Lengthwise, these are good for "regular" people up to about 180 cm or 6' tall. If you need to, pick a larger size for more sleeve length as the shoulder seam drapes a bit lower. Alternatively, just don't give a damn.
French military surplus
Used, washed, in good condition. Army clothes aren't single-use fashion trinkets but durable enough to be passed on from one user to another.

I've found this a great shirt to wear on cool mornings when expecting warmer weather. Even if the cotton material gets wet from sweat, it won't make me too cold after the sun rises.
[Edited to add] I just got the size 120. Alas, being 188 cm in height means I'm abnormal to the French. Too bad there isn't an equivalent surplus Danish surplus shirt. While size 120 gives me more room around the chest and shoulders, the sleeves are still short and make my arms look like they belong to an orangutan. It's still a good shirt and a bargain. I will wear either when out for a walk in the cool of the morning or evening.

1. Definitely fit on the tight/smaller size as described. The 104 measures 19" from pit to pit.
2. Sleeves seem really short. I know the French tend to have short/regular/long sizing, but the tag is washed out and I couldn't tell which one I got.
3. A couple small holes, but overall in decent condition. Looks well made and is super soft.

-Saksalaiset on löysempiä, Ranskalaiset tiukempia. Makuasia kumpi on mukavampi, mutta Ranskan malli on särmemmän näköinen.
Saksalaisia saa tilata 1 - 2 kokoa pienemmän että saa tiukasti sopivamman, Ranskalaisessa jopa oikealla koolla saa sopivan ihotiukan, toki yks koko pienempi ei haittaa, ainakaan kokovälillä 88cm ja 96cm kun suositus on toi jälkimmäinen. Venyy tarpeeksi ettei rajoita liikettä.
-Toisin kuin Saksalaisissa, tämän kauluksen saa taitettua ylös särmästi ja ei-kurittavan tiukasti. Saksalaisissa kokemuksesta joko liian löysät kaulukset tai vetoketju ei anna taittua tarpeeksi.
-Hihansuut kyllä venyy jos ei halua / jaksa napittaa niitä auki, rannekellojen / aktiivisuusrannekkeiden kanssa Saksalainen käy vähän helpommaksi käsitellä.
-Ikähaarukka ja kunto molemmilla about samaa.
Molemmat hyviä puuvillasia aluspaitoja, mutta lyhyesti: jos särmällä ulkonäöllä on väliä, Ranskalainen on parempi vaihtoehto. Muutoin parempi ostos on se kumpi on saatavilla.

It looks like it was barely used. Very happy with the purchase.
