The German Flecktarn camouflage pattern is a testament to the evolution of military camouflage, with its roots tracing back to the 1970s. Officially adopted by the German military in the early 1990s, Flecktarn (which means "spotted camouflage" in German) is characterized by its unique 5-color pattern, designed to blend seamlessly into a variety of environments, particularly woodland and forested areas.

The pattern's effectiveness in disrupting the human silhouette made it an iconic symbol of the post-Cold War German Bundeswehr and inspired similar designs in other countries' military forces. Its distinctive appearance and proven effectiveness have cemented Flecktarn's place in the history of military camouflage.

The German Flecktarn Parka is a durable and practical piece of military surplus that serves well in various outdoor conditions. Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, it offers both comfort and resilience against the elements. The parka features a zippered front with a buttoned storm flap, ensuring additional protection in adverse weather. Its two large chest pockets, two side pockets, and an internal pocket provide ample storage for essentials. The adjustable hood, waist, and cuffs allow for a customizable fit, adapting to different body sizes and layers worn underneath.

Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and military collectors, the Flecktarn Parka is not just a piece of military gear but a versatile garment suitable for everyday use, outdoor activities, and tactical applications.

Sizing Guide

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
