Description

An iconic heavy shirt from the frontlines of the Cold War.

VII Corps History: The subdued patch on the sleeve belongs to the US Army VII Corps. Based in West Germany from the 1950s until the end of the Cold War, their primary mission was to defend the strategic Fulda Gap against a potential Soviet tank invasion.
Insignia: The shirt remains fully badged as it was worn. It features subdued US ARMY and "ST. AUBIN" name tapes, the VII Corps SSI on the left shoulder, and black metal pin-on collar ranks for a Sergeant First Class (SFC / E-7).
Construction & Material: Built to withstand freezing European winters. The 80% wool / 20% nylon blend retains heat incredibly well (even when damp), while the nylon adds durability. Features two chest pockets.
Condition: Excellent used military surplus condition. The wool fabric is solid and clean, free from the moth holes that often plague these vintage garments.
