Product description

A very durable, simple, and cheap work jacket, not at all out of place for daily use either. This "new model" is a more streamlined design but still very similar to the older one. Unissued Swiss surplus.

The jacket is very spartan, just the way working garments should be. Nothing extra: simple pockets, durable denim material (yes, proper real denim) and a good simple cut. First aid pocket on the inside, as is customary with "old-time" military jackets.

Material and care

Made of 100 % cotton. The tags say you should wash this at 95 degrees Celsius, essentially boil it, but we think 60 or just 40 degrees will do.

The fabric will probably dye pretty well in case you want to tweak the color.

Size info

The size system for the jackets is the normal European type. Multiply by two to get the suitable chest circumference in centimeters. No different lengths are available. If you are up to 180 cm tall, the sleeves will be OK. If not, just roll them up.

Swiss surplus

In unissued condition, just stored from the '80s, when most of these seem to be made.

It's a great jacket, buy 2 (as I have). Everyone around me tells me it doesn't even look like a denim jacket, but a sort of suit jacket, so at least in my case it fits perfectly for semi-formal occasions. The fabric is of excellent quality; very durable, heavy and at the same time, soft. Needless to say that in a regular clothing store, for 11 US dollars you will never get anything even close to it, let alone something better. As soon as more are available again I will buy another pair just in case, hopefully someday the pants to go with the jacket will be available here at Varusteleka.

Thanks to this shirt i found out the husband of one of my like 70 female cousins is a communist. he got all excited and was all like ''OOH YOU LOOK LIKE A COMMUNIST *searches up a painting of mao to compare the shirt to* LOOK LOOK! COMRADE!'' lmfao. seriously though i get ALOT of compliments despite this being a work shirt, my friends fiance said many times it looks great, my friends asked why i was dressing so nice, my mother loves how it looks, my cousins and aunts complimented it and couldn't stop feeling it, its great i love the attention :> besides that the shirts very quality, when you receive it and hold it you'll know its made like those old school tough rugged whatnot shirts, its even got a bandage pocket like old army shirts and tunics do. I wouldn't be afraid to do some tacticool army crawling in it while hiking or take it to work on a ranch, or to the pub with my mates and chat up girls. Next time i get payed, if its still in stock, im getting 4 more!

Looks nice, especially for the. I took the shoulder cuffs off of mine to take off some of the militaristic look. The fabric is very very tough. I know, because on mine, one of the button holes was not cut out jet. I tried cutting into the fabric with a decently sharp knife, but it just wouldn't quite slice through. A razorblade obviously did the trick though. Certainly in unissued condition. Very water- resistant. On the right side there's a small pocket inside the jacket. It's just big enough for a smaller phone or probably a pack of cigarettes or similar item. I personally use it to store gloves.
