French Turtleneck Shirt, Surplus

For some reason, the French make long sleeve zippered shirts as well as the Germans but with an easier size system. A superior choice for every activity where you need a durable shirt with long sleeves and don't mind it being French.

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.

Made of 100% cotton with a greenish grey colour, machine wash at 60 degrees Celsius.

Size info

Sizes indicate the user's 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. The fabric is slightly elastic.

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.
