This is a genuine German Navy peacoat made for wet and cold maritime conditions.
Bundesmarine Issue & History
This jacket, known as the Colani or Bordjacke, was made in 2003 by military contractor WAHLER for the German Navy. Issued for shipboard duty in cold maritime climates, it is a double-breasted overcoat. Its timeless design serves collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday wearers looking for robust military heritage.
Weatherproof Gabardine Shell
The outer shell is made from a durable navy gabardine blend of 55% polyester and 45% wool. This tight twill weave is treated with a fluorocarbon impregnation (FCH-impr.) that repels water, oil, and dirt. A smooth viscose lining allows for easy layering over heavy jumpers, blocking out harsh wind and rain.
Versatile Removable Insulation
To handle changing climates, this coat features a removable plaid liner that adds a layer of warmth in freezing temperatures. Sturdy gold-plated brass buttons run the front, each stamped with the traditional navy fouled anchor. Angled handwarmer pockets and an internal pocket keep your essential gear safe.
Add this rugged, maritime-proven overcoat to your gear collection for reliable warmth on your next coastal or bushcraft trip.
This item was used by the German Navy during the Modern (2000–Present) 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.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
