Swiss Alpenflage Camo - Where does the name come from? Well, from me, the owner of Swiss-Link. A long time ago, when the Swiss Army hadn't even released this camo yet, I came across a whole truckload of them (in the 1990s) that were meant for the dumpster. They had put big cuts in them so they couldn't be reused. With my connections, I was able to get those and send them to a repair shop where they were sewn back together. Since it was a new camo on the market, never seen before, we sold that truckload in a matter of one day. However, they were just called Swiss Camo. I thought that was boring and came up with the name Alpenflage. I even had the name trademarked. Now, the whole industry and even some Swiss Army officials are calling them Alpenflage.
I am not charging anyone to use my name for the camo but am pretty excited to see it is still used today. The reason they are called Alpenflage is pretty obvious. The Swiss are full of Alps, and the Swiss Army trains in the Alps all the time. Well, now you know the history of the name Alpenflage. The camo is pretty amazing, and the International Bird Watching Society in the late 90s deemed it the best overall camo ever conceived. The colors seem bright, but when you are in an outdoor environment, it blends in so well that we had to take pictures in a studio instead of in the field. There is not much of this awesome, comfortable Alpenflage left in the world, so get yours today.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
