@americana.pipedream: Germany is retiring Flecktarn. We're not. The Flecktarn Woobie Hoodie is in stock now. Same fabric as the USGI woobie you already love, in one of the most recognizable camo patterns ever made. Link in bio. A little history 🇩🇪 Flecktarn basically means "spot camo" in German. After WWII, West Germany didn't really have a camo uniform. Soldiers wore plain olive green from 1961 all the way to 1990. In 1976 the army tested a handful of new patterns, and one called "Flecktarn B" won. Then they sat on it for over a decade because it cost too much. It finally became standard issue in 1990, right as Germany reunified. From there it went everywhere. Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan. They made a desert version in the 90s for Somalia. Denmark, Belgium, Russia and China all copied it in some form. And since Germany never locked down the design, it ended up being a surplus favorite for decades. Now it's being replaced by Multitarn, which is basically Flecktarn's shapes in MultiCam style colors. German special forces have worn it since 2016, and the whole military is switching over by 2029. Here's the catch: Germany is protecting Multitarn so nobody outside their contractors can make it. Don't expect it to hit the surplus market like Flecktarn did. Flecktarn had a 35 year run. We figured it deserved a woobie. #flecktarn #woobie #woobiehoodie #bundeswehr #germancamo
