Issued TAZ 83 Alpenflage Field Shirt

If you're looking for a rugged, comfortable shirt in a wacky camouflage... congratulations, you've found it! Alpenflage is a Swiss camouflage pattern based on WWII-era German Leibermuster. Postwar the Swiss brought this pattern home from ex-German factories in Czechoslovakia, made a few tweaks and began issuing it.

These shirts are made of a tough but comfortable fabric. They feature two front chest snap-flap closure pockets, elastic cuffs with zippers and a dual zip-up snap-cap front. There isn't much more to this simple, rugged and reliable military design.

Sizing Guide:

Swiss sizing uses pit-to-pit measurements in centimeters to denote sizes.

To find your pit-to-pit size, take a well-fitting shirt and lay it flat on the ground. Measure it from armpit to armpit. This number is your pit-to-pit size measurement.

For example, a medium (48) measures 19" from pit to pit.

A large (52) measures 20.5" from pit to pit.

An extra large (56) measures 22" from pit to pit.
