Authentic vintage Swiss Army Alpenflage camouflage field jacket featuring the iconic TAZ 83 camouflage pattern in red, green, brown, and black. This distinctive camouflage was widely used by the Swiss military from the late 1950s through the 1980s and has become one of the most recognizable and collectible military camo patterns.
This jacket is built from durable cotton-blend twill and designed for practical field use. It features a full front zipper, snap-closure chest pockets, epaulets on the shoulders, and zippered sleeve cuffs for adjustable ventilation and fit. The design is lightweight compared to later military jackets, making it a great everyday layer while still retaining the rugged military construction Swiss surplus is known for.
The interior tag shows 50% polyester / 50% cotton construction and includes Swiss military laundry markings. Based on the tag and construction details, this piece dates to approximately the mid-1980s (84/85) production period.
Condition is good vintage with normal wear consistent with age and military use. No major structural issues noted.
