Holy Crap !!!!!!!  

That is a mind numbing post of some fantastic stuff...

Thanks for posting, it will be fun to go over this posting again...

Have been wearing one of the heavy wool sweaters most of this winter...It is WARM !!!

rip....

Thank you!Yeah the heavy pullover is really warm but also heavy, especially if you get wet.
During my conscript time I hated this piece, mine was very very scratchy.

Hey Alex,

Yes, most heavy wool sweaters are like that. But I still collect, and wear them. Love that old school warmth.

I use a thin/lightweight  long sleeve layering undershirt to eliminate the itch.... 

rip..

Thats the right way to wear them, they are ment to be worn with the DAZ 75 shirt(or something equal) underneath.
I'm a fan of the fleecejacket when it's getting cold.They are great,keep you warm and are cosy!   

Today's lucky catch!
Really rare snap button predecessor of the buttoned version from 1959!

Very impressive! Many of these items are new to me. Interesting they contracted to German and Swedish companies for some items. I thought Austria kept production within it's own borders.

Steve

Swiss camo was what got me going in this hobby in the first place, so wonderful to see more!
The OD pieces are very impressive and varied! Cool beans!!

Thank you both, steve and saltefanden!Austria had many domestic suppliers but with entering the EU, they changed to
cheaper factories(perhaps even earlier). For expample KAZ 03 shirts,pants,heavy jacket and fleecejacket are made by FECSA in Spain. The rainjackets are also made by FEUCHTER, BRETSCHNEIDER.
Some of the thermo stuff is made buy a company in Greece and the newer flecejackets are from CZISMARIK from Hungary. The old stuff was made by SLAMA,BURG(shirts),INTERSTYLE or BRENNER(heavy pullover) or PUTZ.
The experimental pieces were made by LEO KÖHLER (KAZ 02 non rip stop) or the swedish company (KAZ02 rip stop,KAZ03 trial missing left arm pocket).

Again; sorry 'bout the Swiss-Austrian mix-up, it IS the Austrian pattern and quality uniforms which is most dear to my heart, and I could kick myself for getting the country names wrong!!
Gerherd Berger was even my favorite Formula 1 driver, back in the days, for heavens sake!  

Again bro' it's no problem.  Were both skiing, leather pants wearing ,yodeling nations.   
That can be easy mixed up.
Maybe you can compensate it with some great Danish M/84 items?  

Oh, I'm sure I can!

Let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do for you!

All the very best!

Well, finally I found something really rare:
M-57/59 panzer overpants!







No hand pockets, just pass throughs.



No upper button to close pants.

Truly nice,

Thanks for posting a wealth of great pieces.

The Tanker trousers are something I have not previously seen...Nice to see  full length trousers in this pattern.

Everyone does.. or at least me. And you.

Nice to hear that Philip. And we were not allowed to buy us the panlo windstopper.  
Anyway to rip: I found this great piece today and had to buy it.First I didn't recognised
that it was the tanker variant. Then I saw the zippers and thought:,, Holy crap!I
have to buy them!''
You don't have that much luck very often  

Forgot something again:

KAZ 02 heavy jacket without velcro and patch.

KAZ03 khaki boonie

Usually I don't collect hats and caps but this piece is nice and rare!
It will soon have a new owner.  

Matching boots for the desert stuff.

Khaki Segeltuchschuhe.
The leather is dark because it was impregnated.

I'm back from my shopping tour at my favourite camo-clothing wonderworld in Vienna so that's the new stuff!

Ladies(?) and Gentlemen!, I proudly present:

KAZ 57 Parka from 1958!!!
There are many interesting details(full collar etc.).







Don't know what thats for:



Note the loops for foliage!





Small pocket on the back



Strange rank sleeve thing?Just on one side.







Tanker Jacket with fixed hood!Stamp isn't readable anymore.









KAZ 57/59 Pants but without  integrated belt.












Field cap.It was never offical issued but often worn.They were made out of tent-blankets by the barracks tailor-shops.

Just a few crappy photos of a great camo pattern.













rip....

Nice that they found their way to US.You can be proud to have them.
It gets harder and harder to find good pieces, even here in Austria.Wow, the tanker jacket with zipper hood! nice

i have seen the strange roll on the shoulder of a few parkas, sometimes on both shoulders and sometimes on one. The only logical explanation I can offer is that it is there to prevent a shoulder sling slipping off. This could be for a pack or a rifle carry sling?

That's a good thought.Might be possible.

For comparison the different types near each other.

1.Model from 1958,2.Model from 1959,3.Model from 1960, 4.Model from 1973

Thanks for the comparison photos.

Nice display of not often seen variations.  This pattern was used for quite a few years, and is certainly  a classic ...

rip....


Talk to you soon...
