KEY FEATURES
This original German Navy sailor shirt is a genuine Bundesmarine dress uniform issued to sailors.
Bundesmarine Kieler Kragen
This shirt features the iconic Kieler Kragen (sailor collar) with three white stripes. Worn by the German Navy (Bundesmarine) as part of their official dress uniform, this design represents centuries of maritime tradition. The large collar originally protected shirts from tarred hair, while the deep V-neck allows easy wear. It is a prized item for military collectors and reenactors.
Durable Poly-Cotton Twill
Made by official military contractors like Feuchter GmbH, this shirt is made from a breathable 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill. This blend combines the strength of polyester with the coolness of cotton, making it perfect for active outdoor use, bushcraft, or casual wear. It features a hidden concealed inside chest pocket to keep small gear dry and safe during field use.
Genuine Grade 1 Quality
This shirt is issued in Grade 1 surplus condition, meaning it is lightly used but in very-good, fully functional shape. The sleeves feature buttoned cuffs with gold-coloured anchor buttons, maintaining a sharp appearance. It is ideal for vintage fashion lovers, cadets, and historians looking for durable, functional maritime clothing that outperforms modern civilian alternatives.
Add this classic piece of German maritime heritage to your collection or outdoor wardrobe.
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.
