Austrian Turtleneck Shirt, Surplus

The size system is not surprisingly Austrian. The larger the number, the bigger the shirt. We added some actual measurements in the chart below. The chest width is measured flat from armpit to armpit, so it is easy to compare with your own shirts. Bear in mind that the measurements can vary from shirt to shirt because the shirts get stretched in use. Since these are stretchy, precision fitting isn’t that vital anyway. If you prefer a loose fit, take one size bigger.

Materials and care

As mentioned in the description, the materials vary. Some of these are 60% polypropylene and 40% cotton. Others 33% cotton, 33% viscose, 31% polypropylene, and 3% elastane. We wouldn’t be surprised if other combinations are uncovered as well. Both of the ones mentioned can be washed at 60 degrees Celsius. In case any very exotic combos turn up, the washing instructions tell you how to take care of them. Most likely nothing too surprising is revealed though.
