French Turtleneck Shirt, Surplus

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.
