KEY FEATURES

Instant answers from our depot guard dog (or route straight to our human crew).
These are original German Army leather gloves issued to Bundeswehr personnel.
Military Issue Construction
These genuine Bundeswehr gloves are made from tough black leather with a smooth matte finish. Built to strict German military specifications, the strong stitched seams provide dependable hand protection against cuts, scrapes, and abrasions during hard outdoor tasks.
Flexible All-Day Dexterity
Unlike bulky winter mitts, the supple leather design supports natural finger movement and excellent grip. An elasticated wrist cuff seals out dirt and wind while keeping the glove seated firmly on your hand when handling tools, driving, or setting up camp.
Grade 2 Surplus Character
Offered in used Distressed condition, each pair shows authentic signs of service with broken-in leather that feels comfortable right away. Slight shade or contract year differences between hands give each pair true surplus character.
Equip your kit bag with reliable German military leather gloves built for tough daily work.
This item was used by the German Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Distressed condition. It shows heavier signs of use and fading, but remains fully functional. We recommend washing before use.
Distressed gear is heavily worn surplus packed with genuine field character. While cosmetic wear is substantial, we never sell unusable junk—every item remains fit for its core, primary purpose and is ideal for rugged beat-around use, projects, or workwear.
- Functionality: The main structure and essential closures remain usable, though secondary elements (like a side pocket zip, drawcord toggle, or single snap) may be stiff, stuck, or broken.
- Fabric & Wear: Expect noticeable softening, severe fading, fraying hems, surface staining, or small puncture holes/snags that do not compromise the main build.
- Hardware & Metalwork: Metal snaps, buckles, and eyelets may show paint chipping, heavy patina, surface rust, or tarnishing, but main fastening points stay secure.
- Repairs & Modifications: Often features in-service repairs, patches, visible hand-stitching, missing non-critical buttons, or bold soldier names and stencil markings.
- Storage & Scent: Authentic surplus that has seen real deployment and depot storage—a solid wash and air-out is recommended before everyday wear.
