The Bundeswehr is a unified force officially established on November 12, 1955, based on West Germany's security during the Cold War period after World War II and cooperation with Western countries.

The background to its founding was the framework for restoring sovereignty and rearmament under the 1954 Paris Agreement, and the international agreement to join NATO in 1955.

When it was first founded, neighboring countries were cautious about rearmament from Germany, but as the East-West conflict intensifies its role as a corner of defense of Western Europe has been clarified.
The federal army was designed under the principle of democratic control (Innere Führung) and laid the institutional foundation that balances the raison d'arl of the military with the rights and duties of individual soldiers.

The organization consists of four military types: the Army (Heer), Navy (Marine), Air Force (Luftwaffe), and Cyber-und Informationsraum (CIR), with the addition of the Bundeswehr Joint Support and Enabling Service (Sanitätsdienst), which are responsible for crossing functions.
CIR is the newest military type that began operation in 2017, and will be responsible for integrated operations in the cyber defense and information field.

With the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany in 1990, the transition to a "Unified Army" was carried out, in which East Germany's National People's Army (NVA) was dismantled and some of its personnel and equipment was selected and integrated.
This was an unprecedented institutional integration, with a level of scale and difficulty, and was a historic process of establishing the defense system for a reunified Germany.

The current federal forces are engaged in international missions in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean, contributing to security within the NATO/EU/UN framework.
It has global response capabilities against the backdrop of its comprehensive capabilities, including integrated logistical support, medical care and cyber fields.

This individual was produced simultaneously with the same design as Trousers at the time, and is the top of the set-up, which is intended for use in the top and bottom.

First and foremost, I would like to emphasize this "camo pattern" that symbolizes the German army.

The pattern, commonly known as "sprinter camouflage," is a four-color military camouflage developed in Germany in the late 1920s, and was first adopted by the National Defence Force in 1931.

The official name is "Buntfarbendruck 31", which was renamed "Splittermuster 31" in 1935, and is a genealogy used in many uniforms during the Second World War, including the Zertbahn (curve).

This individual uses the "1956 Pattern" camouflage, which was adopted as a new uniform in 1956, taking into account its genealogy.

Although the production age is different, there are many expressions of "raindrop" that are layered with fine dashes called "raindrops" to inherit the destructive zigzag (acute angle surface treatment that is typical of splitter masters, and to further enhance the camouflage effect.
The white spots created by the intentional misalignment of the plate remain, and the details serve as a discerning point from the wartime type.

Sprinters of this age have confirmed at least two distinctive color variations, pale blue/pale green background colors, and it is unclear whether these differences are intentional or due to differences in dye lots or manufacturers.

In any case, this pattern, manufactured between 1956 and 1960, was not fully introduced into the German army, and was mainly adopted by infantry and airborne forces, and by the end of 1960, most had retired from service.

Of course, the camouflage pattern is included, but the details also give it a rugged impression, as if it were a military item.

The body and hem have a total of four snap button flap pockets, reminiscent of the French army's "TAP47".

Each top pocket comes with a D-ring, allowing you to temporarily secure the equipment.
There is a ventilation hole under the armpit, so it is also practical to let the sweat inside escape.

The front is equipped with a double-layered structure with a zip zipper and snap buttons typical of the German army.
The zip slider uses a zipper made by "riri", providing both ease of use and reliability.

The collar is a large round collar with a high design that suppresses wind intrusion and enhances heat retention, and comes with a chin strap.
It's also very nice to wear while wearing it with a stand.

There is a tag on the inside of the pocket with the size and year of payment.
The stamps are thinner over time and are difficult to accurately decipher, but you can barely see the year of "56".

This piece is not only rare, but also has a very high level of perfection when viewed as a fashion item.
You can also use camouflage as the main character and organize it in a city, or you can also use military bread or boots to sweep it roughly.

Although the size indication cannot be confirmed, I think it falls under the "M to L" size in Japanese sizes.

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.
It is a military item, and the large size makes it look cool to wear.

Originally designed for over jackets, designed to be worn over a uniform, the size of each individual is generally larger.

Although there are signs of wear, such as bites, fading, stains, scuffs, fraying, small holes, repair marks, and button replacements, the fabric is unique to the fabric, there is no sign of any major damage that may cause problems with wearing it, so I think you can still wear it.

In recent years, attention has been increasing especially for German military items.
On the other hand, combined with the historical background, the number of existing products is extremely small, and the reality is that supply has not kept up to demand.

It is also an area where there is a certain number of enthusiastic enthusiasts, and it is undoubtedly a "collective archive pieces" that collectors find difficult to let go.

This is a perfect piece not only for a wardrobe, but also as a collection item and design source.
This is a rare item that is rarely available at our shop, so if you are looking for it, don't miss this opportunity.
