Please be aware that these have a fairly strong mildew smell and will need to be washed thoroughly.

Oh ya, we all love a little Belgian Jigsaw. This iconic camo pattern was adopted by the Belgian military in 1958, and served until very recently when it was replaced by a Multicam variant.

These jackets are loaded with pockets and options for adjustability. They feature four spacious front pockets, all with zipper closure. Their cuffs are adjustable with snap caps. They also feature a dual zip-up and snap cap closure front with a storm flap. The collar can be worn upright for some additional protection from wind.

Great quality for an issued garment

Arrived within delivery window and in good condition for something that had been issued. They aren't kidding with the disclaimer about a mildew smell. The jacket reeked of mold/mildew. I washed it several times with; oxyclean, tide, vinegar and a lysol brand detergent. It still retained the smell after all those washings. So, I washed again with baking soda and tide, let it air dry in the sun. The smell still lingers slightly but it's much better and seems to be improving with time. Either way, I'm happy with it. Lots of pockets, can easily wear this with anything anywhere. It's not my exact size (like most military garments nothing is exact) but it has drawstrings at the waist and bottom, which make it adjustable enough that I can make it fit and not look too baggy or bulky. Great pattern, it looks better in person, I think. Of you care about coordinating your outfit, Belgian jigsaw can help accommodate a lot of different style options. Especially if you want that Cold War spook-about-to-pop-things-off in the bloc aesthetic. Overall, a good buy for anyone wanting a functional stylish jacket that has history behind it.

Drippy, functional, and comfy

I love aus peadot, alpenflage, and flektarn.
I thought this would be in their ranks.
After wearing it and using it for a week.
This is top tier fashion.
The hardware was intact zipper was smooth as butter and all wear points were tear free.

The zippered pockets are perfect. The drawstrings don't get in the way and the thickness is just right for a cozy yet soft and breathable jacket.
It mixes a vintage and modern aesthetic and comes out on top.

Curious About Sizing?

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.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

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.
