Oh ya, we all love a little Belgian Jigsaw. This iconic camo pattern was adopted by the Belgian military in 1958, and served until very recently when it was replaced by a Multicam variant.

These jackets are the latest iteration of Belgian Jigsaw field uniform, the last to be issued before the switch to Multicam. They feature a dual snap-cap and zip-up front, two large pockets on the waist and two spacious zip-up chest pockets.

The Short & Sweet:

  • Genuine Belgian army surplus
  • Belgian Jigsaw camouflage colorway
  • Two large chest zip-up pockets
  • Two large waist pockets
  • Drawstring hem and waist
  • ACU-type collar, can be worn flat or folded up
  • Snap cap adjustable cuffs
  • Dual zip-up and snap cap front closure
  • Manufactured by Seyntex
  • 100% cotton fabric, heavyweight
  • Two shoulder pockets, one on each arm

Sizing Info:

This entire batch is Belgian size large. This style of jacket is very easy to wear comfortably on both sides of the American sizing chart.

Trying one on as an American medium, I fit comfortably within the body of the jacket with room for layering. The adjustable cuffs allow for otherwise baggy sleeves to be stowed and kept out of my way. The drawstring waist gives the option for a tighter-looking fit despite the jacket being oversized.

This size will certainly fit an American medium (but baggy), large, extra large and double extra large.

Measurements:

  • 22.5” Sleeves From Shoulder to Cuff
  • 23” Chest From Armpit to Armpit
  • 30” Length From Shoulder to Hem

Sizing Guide

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
