KEY FEATURES
This is a genuine German Navy dark blue gabardine trench coat.
Bundesmarine Utility Design
Issued to West German naval personnel, this double-breasted greatcoat was built to withstand freezing maritime environments. Its dark navy gabardine weave offers exceptional windproofing and naturally repels light rain. This tight fabric structure ensures that the coat remains durable yet lighter than traditional heavy wool overcoats, making it ideal for layering.
Thermal Adaptation and Comfort
The coat features a zip-out plaid flannel liner, which adds critical core insulation during winter but can be detached for transitional spring or autumn wear. Fitted with stippled silver buttons that secure the double-breasted front and back half-belt, the coat is tailored to retain body heat while maintaining a smart, streamlined silhouette on land or at sea.
Modern Utility and Function
This Grade 1 surplus item provides practical utility for outdoor enthusiasts, bushcrafters, or collectors. Two deep exterior flap pockets protect your gear from moisture, while an interior slit pocket secures your wallet or phone. It offers superior durability and weather protection compared to modern civilian rainwear, making it a reliable choice for daily town or trail wear.
Equip yourself with this versatile German Navy overcoat for reliable, all-season weather protection on your next outdoor pursuit.
This item was used by the German Navy 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.
