East German Women's Police Shirt
Excellent, near-new condition. May be unissued or show only the slightest signs of long-term storage.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This is an original East German women's police shirt in classic white.
Volkspolizei Service Cut
Issued to female personnel in the East German Volkspolizei, this summer blouse was tailored for service under the Ministry of the Interior. Unlike boxy male uniforms, it incorporates shaped bust darts and a tapered waist for a sharp appearance. It features iconic silver pebbled buttons and reinforced shoulder loops for mounting rank boards.
Bottom Waist Pockets & Breathable Fabric
Woven from a lightweight, breathable cotton weave, this short-sleeve shirt keeps you comfortable in warm weather. The clean chest is designed without upper pockets, placing two pleated utility pockets at the bottom of the shirt instead. Each lower pocket has a scalloped flap and pebbled button to carry items without adding bulk to the chest.
Everyday Styling & Practical Utility
The crisp white fabric and neat cuffed short sleeves transition effortlessly into civilian wardrobes and historical displays. A structured waistband with twin anchor buttons sits flat over trousers or skirts, making it an excellent choice for vintage workwear, nursing, or reenactment collections.
Add an original piece of East German Volkspolizei history to your vintage rotation or military collection.

Supergrade is our highest condition rating for genuine military surplus. Items in this category are in near-new, top-tier condition and have seen little to no field use.
- Origin: Typically unissued reserve stock, trial gear, or kit issued but never actively deployed.
- Fabric & Materials: Crisp, fully intact, and structurally perfect with original color vibrancy and no fading.
- Hardware & Fastenings: Zips, press studs, hook-and-loop closures, and buckles operate like new with no functional wear.
- Markings & Repairs: No holes, tears, repairs, or personalized user markings. Factory issue labels and faint depot storage stamps may be present.
- Storage & Scent: May show minor creasing or light dust from transit. Like most authentic military surplus held in long-term dry storage, items may carry a faint warehouse scent that clears easily with a quick first wash or air-out.
