KEY FEATURES
This genuine German Army Grey Trench Coat is a smart, windproof overcoat designed for durable outdoor wear.
German Army Heritage
Issued during the Late Cold War, this Bundeswehr Mantel is a staple of West German military issue. Designed for soldiers and officers of the Heer (Army), it features a classic double-breasted front with silver stippled buttons and a functional half-belt on the rear waist. The tailored silhouette provides a smart, formal appearance that is highly sought after by collectors.
Windproof Gabardine Fabric
The coat is made from a tightly woven polyester-wool gabardine blend. This high-density weave offers natural windproof protection and sheds light rain easily, making it far more practical than standard civilian overcoats. Perfect for everyday casual wear, workwear, or outdoor use, the heavy-duty fabric keeps its sharp shape even after long-term field use.
Detachable Insulating Liner
For colder temperatures, a button-in removable liner provides an extra layer of cold weather insulation. This warm liner features a traditional blue and white checked plaid pattern and can be quickly detached for transitional spring or autumn wear. The inclusion of two large flap pockets and a deep inner pocket ensures plenty of secure space for carrying everyday gear.
Add this classic West German overcoat to your wardrobe for durable protection in any weather.
This item was used by the German Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
