This is The Shit, and although Italian, we don't mean it in a bad way. Half wool, half cotton, for half of the price these turtle neck shirts would cost if manufactured new. Speaking of, these are pretty much in unissued condition.
Not only a pleasing sight for sore eyes with its warm moss green colour scheme, this shirt is amazingly also very functional: suitably long hem, tall zippered collar and a nice form fit. Especially for this price this shirt is some pretty damn good surplus!
The only downsides seem to be the fact that the basic sizes are only made in "Regular" height and the fabric is a tad more coarse than Merino wool. If these don't concern you, Buy This Shirt.
Material and care
Made of 51 % wool, 39 % cotton and 10 % polyamide. The tags advise to wash the garment in 50 degrees Celsius, but we believe a 40 degree wool cycle would also work. Just airing helps.
Size info
Sizes in a simple S, M, L system. In the brackets you see our estimates for recommended user's height and chest circumference; look carefully, these don't have even increments.
The height size seems to be pretty much regular, so these are best for 170-180 cm tall people, except size X-Large is notably longer. The sleeves are cut a bit short on purpose, they are not supposed to extend beyond the wrist. If you have doubts, just pick a size larger. Remember, a slightly tight-fitting shirt will stretch in use.
Our main picture model's strategic measurements are 176 / 96 cm, and he wears size Medium.
Condition
These seemed to be unissued overall. Some were in manufacturer's plastic, some in other bags put on them by our German supplier. Don't panic, these are all genuine Esercito Italiano stuff.

Materiaali on ihan mukava ja sopivan lämmin Suomen lähes jokaiseen vuodenaikaan olematta liian hiostava lämpimämmälläkään kelillä ihan kesähelteitä lukuunottamatta. Mutta sitten ne miinukset: hihat ovat oikeasti tosi lyhyet, 181/97 mitoilla valkatusta paidasta hiha jää noin 5 senttiä liian lyhyeksi. Lisäksi saumojen ompeleet olivat todella kehnoa tekoa armeijavaatteeksi - kummastakin omistamastani paidasta aukesi hihan sauma jostain kohdasta muutaman kuukauden sisään. Eli jos ostat tämän, varaudu henkisesti siihen, että voit joutua ompeluhommiin. On toki mahdollista, että omani olivat jostani hylkyerästä ja että Lekan paidat ovat parempaa erää. Tähtien lukumäärä perustuu siihen, että jos ompeleet kestävät, tämä on ihan ok paita vaikka hihat jäävätkin pohjoismaisella ruumiinrakenteella lyhyiksi, mutta mahdollisesti huonojen ompeleiden vuoksi en voi oikein suositellakaan.

Edit: kokeilin hiihtolenkillä tätä alle ja olikin juuri hyvä. Villa pitää sen lämpinä vaikka kostuukin ja korkea kaulus suojaa hyvin kaulan. Metsäsuksilla, pakkastakin kanssa tuli ihan kuuma kun aurinko lämmitti.

UPDATE: the itchiness doesn't seem like a problem at all. Also, watch out for weak seams on the sleeves.

-Zipper is sad
-Zipper seams are scratchy and not sewn down super well
-Shirt is a little scratchy
That being said, the shirt is really nice for the money and fits well (I'm 5'10 200 lbs with an athletic cut and the large fits snug-but-good). Honestly I wish they were a regular turtleneck or long-sleeve without the janky zipper.
