Danish Field Shirt, Green, Surplus

Danish elf green field shirt. These have that lovely rough feel on your skin like your wildest lover or a terrycloth towel, whichever is rougher. The collar has a few buttons and there are buttons at the cuffs as well.

Here’s a splendid shirt when you desire proper durable and affordable surplus stuff but aren’t that keen on a too militaristic look. These are also fabugastic for those bitchin’ 70s parties. The tight fit and funky color will make you an instant hit. Or if you need to equip your own wood elf army but are still lacking the tunics, these will remedy that, too. Just put a belt on top. As you can see in the pics, these come in two options, one has a bit taller collar. We haven’t sorted these out so you might get either one of these. They are both delightfully ugly.

Materials

These didn’t come with any material info so it is impossible to give any accurate material data. They most likely contain cotton, but someone might have slipped in some progressive synthetic stuff, too.

Sizing

Sizing is a bit special. In principle, these have the regular European shirt sizing, the circumference of the neck in centimeters. However, since the material is very stretchy, and the previous owners have stretched these here and there, the sizing isn’t at the level that satisfies engineers. In other words, the width and the sleeve length can vary.

These are very stretchy shirts. For example, a copywriter with a 116 cm (45.7) chest could squeeze into the size 42 shirt. It had that skintight 70s vibe but breathing was still possible. The hem is also fairly long. However, these have quite short sleeves. So they are not ideal for people with long arms. The fabric also stretches lengthwise, so with some weights or with a medieval rack, you can get rid of this problem.

Condition

Used Danish military surplus. The seams can be a bit worn, and the shirts might have stretched a bit in various directions. But they are all clean and intact, in other words perfectly serviceable.
