How to choose the size?

The product will be ready for shipping within 1 to 2 months after payment, after which all the goods you ordered will be sent to your address in one parcel. It is better to order ready-made goods from the warehouse separately, then we will send them immediately.

It should be remembered that the jacket is designed to be worn over the tunic. You do not need to add some "for outerwear" when choosing a size, you need to take a windjacket of the same size as your field tunic.

You can choose the size without trying. You will need a flexible meter or at least a rope. Measure a similar winter jacket that suits you. Designations:

• The width of the shoulders — between the sleeves' seams along the shoulder seams, behind the neck.
• Total length (full) — along the back from the collar bottom stitch down in a straight line.
• Sleeve length — from the shoulder seam down in a straight line. 

The jacket should sit by shoulder width and sleeve length. 

Description

The copy of the windjacket for mountain troops (Windjacke für Gerbirgsjäger), which they wore over their tunic and belt. Model 1942 double-sided: one side of the fabric is smoky, the other side is white.

The jacket has the high collar, the hood, drawstrings at the waist and in the cuffs of the sleeves for reliable protection from wind and bad weather. Three chest pockets and two back pockets.

This jacket was worn with M42 pants. Due to the valve (tail) sewn to the back field of the jacket, it was possible to turn the suit into a kind of overalls. The tail was passed between the legs and fastened to the front field of the jacket.

How to care for the product?

The soldiers at the front did not have the opportunity to wash their jackets (especially in the washing machine). Therefore, washing the uniform in the washing machine is an extreme measure. To get started, you just need to wash the jacket with a sponge or a soft brush with soap or detergent for natural fabrics in those places where it is dirty (usually this is the neck and cuffs). You can wash off the detergent with a jet of water (shower in the bathroom, for example).

If you decide to save time and wash in a machine, then select the delicate washing mode at a temperature of no higher than 40 degrees. Please remember that no clothes look like new after machine-washing.

Historical reference.

This windjacket was used exclusively by mountain troops, as they fought in a mountainous climate: on sharp rocks, often in the rain and wind. It was made of thick olive-colored canvas, double-breasted (for better protection from the wind in the front), and wide enough to accommodate the shooter along with the equipment on his waist belt.
