Description
*Note* These Grade 2's may have ink stains, broken zippers or other damage. See last photos for examples
In the early 2000's the Bundesheer (Austrian Army) made vast changes to its rather dated uniform & gear. These field shirts were a massive improvement over the previous uniform and brought it into the 21st century. Zippers replaced the old buttoned pockets, rip-stop fabric and hook & loop areas to allow for unit patches. A handy wee feature is the ventilated armpit holes to allow your body to breathe while putting in the hard yards.
These shirts seem to have been surplused with a purpose - various components may be broken or the shirts have permanent stains making them unsightly to their commanding officer! If you are going to use these as a rough work shirt, these 'Grade 2s' might just be the ticket on a budget.
