German Knit Shirt, New

The German military began the War wearing a white collarless shirt first issued in 1933. This was rapidly found to be impractical due to the bright color and the lack of a collar. In 1940 a more practical model appeared that was made from field gray knit cloth with a collar.  All of these shirts were rather long- much more so than a regular dress shirt. If you have ever worn trousers with suspenders and a tunic- and had the shirt come untucked- you will immediately appreciate the reason for the added length.

We now have a very accurate reproduction of the standard issue WWII service shirt. This is correct for all Heer, Waffen, and Luftwaffe impressions. These are made from the same type field-gray knit cloth as the original. This is the most "typical" with no pockets.
Like the original (unlike most other reproductions) these are extremely long. About 40 inches (110cm). This allows for some shrinkage and keeps the shirt tucked in despite the twists and turns of field use. Having a shirt come untucked when you are wearing suspenders and a tunic is maddening. Sleeves are long enough for most wearers- about 39 inches. The "clingy" nature of the cloth makes them comfortable even if you wear a shorter sleeve. Basically, these were copied from an original, and the details were set based on personal experience.
