These field uniforms were used as a multi-purpose service uniform.......... for work, training and field operations. The shirt and pants were designed to be buttoned together by means of two straps in the pants waist band and a corresponding "belt loop" on the shirt (The long vertical fabric strip sewn to the front of the shirt). There are leg ties in the pants leg hems so that the pants can be bloused with boots. In usual German fashion, all of the pockets have zippers and snaps. The shoulder board buttons on this shirt are not correct and will be replaced when I can locate a proper set of old BGS buttons, but until then, they look pretty good!
Without further delay, let's take a look at this great set of Bundesgrenzschutz Mehrzweckanzug.
First the shirt:
