Romanian Field Shirt, Mozaic Camo, Surplus

A simple camouflage field shirt from the Romanian Post-Dictator Era. You can clearly detect the smell of freedom here unlike in those older evil empire shirts. This might be a one-off batch but if we’re lucky, it isn’t.

Features

These come in the cool Romanian M94 “Mozaic” camo pattern, which is typical of the Romanian 90s military fashion. It has a soothing effect on the surroundings. Quite useful in woodland camo-friendly forests outside Romania as well. There is no material info on these but there is at least cotton in them. However, some bastard might have slipped in some synthetic coprolite, too. Some might have the older M90 camouflage pattern which doesn't drastically differ from the pictured one.

These field shirts have two buttoned breast pockets and for some strange reason a buttoned inside breast pocket as well. Possibly a remnant from the old days when you had to hide the bribes from your superiors. It is quite handy to roll up the sleeves on these if you feel like painting the town red in an unusually frolicky way.

Sizing

In theory, the sizes are normal European dress shirt sizes, i.e. the circumference of the neck in centimeters. We added the “simple sizes” to make things a bit easier. It is worth mentioning that these army shirts want to maintain a certain level of discomfort. So, if you want to wear this with the top button closed and breathe, add four centimeters (1.6”) in your neck size. Or just leave the top button unbuttoned. With a fairly stiff collar, it is in any case the most comfortable option no matter what the style gurus say.

For example, X-Large Regular fit bodywise on a victim with a 116 cm (45.7") chest. However, since this mutant has ridiculous monkey arms, Long would have been better. For normal folks, Regular will be just fine. The optimal bench press-armed hunks and hunkettes should probably go with Short.

Condition

Romanian military surplus that has been forgotten in a warehouse for a long time. These are used, so as you can see in the pics, there might be some frayed seams, wrinkles, tiny stains, and other similar features without which this would just be like any boring shirt. Now it is a bit less boring shirt with a possibly exciting history. These are all in perfectly usable condition.
