German army (Wehrmacht) was a unified army from 1935 to 1945 during the Nazi and German era, and consisted of the Heer, Navy, and Luftwaffe.

The name Wehrmacht replaces the previously used "Reichswehr" and represents the efforts of the Nazi regime to rearmarine Germany beyond the scope permitted by the Treaty of Versailles.

After Adolf Hitler seized power in 1933, one of his most blatant and bold actions was the founding of Wehrmacht.
This meant the creation of a modern military with aggressive capabilities to reclaim lost territory and achieve the long-term goal of the Nazi regime of gaining new territory and controlling neighbouring countries.
This required a reintroduction of conscription and large-scale investment and defence spending in the munitions industry.

After Germany's unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945, the Allied powers began to take over German occupation, and the dismantling of Wehrmacht proceeded.
On August 20, 1946, Wehrmacht and all its factions were officially disbanded by the Allied High Command.
This included the German Army (Heer), the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) and the Luftwaffe.

After the dissolution of Wehrmacht, Germany became a country without military power, and the subsequent reconstruction of military power in West Germany (Federal Republic) and East Germany (Doctors) proceeded separately in the context of the Cold War.
West Germany founded Bundeswehr (Federal Army) in 1955 and became part of NATO.
Meanwhile, East Germany established the Nationale Volksarmee (People's Army) in 1956 and joined the Warsaw Pact.

These new military organizations were considered separate from the traditions and structures of Wehrmacht.

From the German army during World War II"Drillich Summer Field Jacket" was provided and worn as summer field uniformsDrillichanzug)" Introducing.

What is Drillich?It is a German word for weaving, and is HBT (Herringbone Twill) refers to fabric.
Especially in the German army during World War II.Due to its excellent durability, it is the summer seasonIt was widely used, from work clothes to summer combat uniforms.

Initially, the work and training uniforms were used in unbleached colors, but as war began, it was apparently adopted as summer combat uniforms to be worn in combat zones due to their comfort and practicality.
This shows that even in the German army, German navy and German air forces, it was worn not only in work clothes but also in the summer for a wide range of purposes.

Originally designed for work and training, it has since been improved with more combat-friendly colors and shapes, and has continued to develop according to practical needs on the field.

It is said that the German army's "Drillich" was produced with reference to the French army's "Bourgeron", so both the details and the texture are very similar.

When it comes to items made from "Drillich" fabric in the German army, the so-called "work jackets" for work clothes on base are widely available in the market, but this is a "summer field uniform" that looks like this individual."Drillichanzug" is a rare item that collectors will be coveted by.

It has a minimalist structure with only patch pockets at both hems, a straight line design with no waste, and a tense appearance that is typical of a military uniform.
The unique texture and fading of linen create an exquisite vintage feel.

The collar is sewn with a collar that is characterized by white and black lines, which are said to be "common military service," and is an important detail that reminds you of the rank and use of military uniforms.

In addition, both shoulders have buttons and loops for the elephants, typical of the German army, which stand out, giving a strong historical background while still maintaining the specifications of the time.

The front is open and closed with a button fastening.
The front buttons are unique to the German army, and the back is secured with an S-ring fitting.

The sleeves are also made in a three-dimensional way with a front swing, so while it is a military item, it also has an elegant look like a tailored jacket.

In addition, stamps from that time can be visually confirmed on the inside, and in the German army, many individuals have a total of five numbers stamped on them.

-The number on the top left indicates the length to the waist or the length to the tail.
- The number on the top right indicates the size of the collar or the length around the collar.
-The center number indicates the length of the chest width.
-The numbers at the bottom left are the total length.
-The number on the bottom right shows the length of the sleeves.

All of these are expressed in centimeters.

The color is the one-of-a-kind lead green color of the German army.

The deep, dull green is an exquisite color that gives off a sense of harmony with nature, yet gives off a somewhat urban refinement.

Lead green has a simple yet strong color that has a rugged atmosphere derived from military use, yet fits smartly into modern styling.

The fabric is made of HBT weave, known as "Drillich", a typical German military.It uses "100% linen" fabric, which is highly rated in the vintage market.
The unique texture of the fabric, which is comparable to French linen and sways with each movement, is also why it is so popular.

After all, linen fabrics from this era are exceptionally good so that amateurs can tell it, and are highly regarded, which is said to be impossible to reproduce in modern times, so the fabric alone is worth it.

The size indication is "41 / 44 / 102 / 70 / 62"
日本サイズで "M" 程度に該当するかと思います。

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.

There are signs of wear such as bites, dirt, scuffs, rust, missing drawcords, and missing S-rings, which are typical of the fabric, but there is no sign of any major damage that may cause problems with wearing it, so I think you can still wear it.

It seems that German military items have been particularly attracting attention in recent years, but there are very few existing German military items, including the historical background, and it seems that supply is not keeping up to demand.

The German army has a certain number of enthusiastic fans, so there is no doubt that it is an archival piece that even collectors will never let go of.

It's not something that can be purchased by paying, and we cannot guarantee that it will arrive in the future.

This is a perfect piece not only for a wardrobe, but also as a collection item and design source.
This is a masterpiece that is rarely seen both domestically and internationally, so if you're looking for it or like rare items, don't miss this opportunity.
