East German Strichtarn Modified Field Vest
We've got a lot of these that are still unsorted, so if you see that a size is sold out, we will have more going up as we sort them.
Back in the 90s, some guy had the sad and unfortunate idea to chop up a lot of East German surplus to see if it would sell better. Back then, East German surplus was so plentiful, and cheap that people were trying all sorts of things to get rid of it. While we have no idea if it worked at the time, plenty of it made it into the warehouse we found it at, after sitting for 15+ years.
These are original East German Strichtarn field shirts that were modified to be sleeveless vests. The sleeves were cut and hemmed, and a decent job was done.
If they've got a yellowed collar liner, it can be easily removed, as it is just buttoned in.
