German Flecktarn Type 01 Camouflage Fleece Hoodie

Pattern: German Flecktarn Type 01

This hoodie is printed with German Flecktarn, the dotted camouflage of the Bundeswehr that has become one of the most recognisable modern patterns in Europe. “Type 01” is the MegaCamo catalogue label for the classic temperate rendition — the version people most often picture when they hear the word Flecktarn.

About the German Flecktarn camouflage

Flecktarn was developed in West Germany in the 1970s and adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1990. Instead of the large, hard-edged patches that defined earlier German patterns, it packs the surface with hundreds of small overlapping coloured dots — olive, green, tan, brown and black. That dense pointillism softens the outline of the body into a broken texture rather than a clean silhouette, which is exactly why it works so well across temperate woodland and scrub.

The temperate colorway

“Type 01” here uses the classic temperate palette: greens and olive with tan, soft brown and black accents. It is the neutral, field-ready colourway that the modern German army made famous, and it gives strong tonal contrast against the greens and earth tones of a forest floor.

How the pattern reads on your hoodie

Flecktarn’s small dots survive an all-over print beautifully. Even when the fabric gathers at the hood, cuffs and kangaroo pocket, the pattern stays recognisable instead of turning to mush. From across a room it reads as a muted olive-brown texture; up close the individual dots resolve into crisp, clean detail, so the print looks considered rather than slapped on.

Why own this fleece-lined hoodie?

If you collect post-war European patterns, Flecktarn is a cornerstone piece, and this is the temperate version that defines it. If you simply want a warm layer that stands apart from the woodland and digital camos filling streetwear, this gives you a real camouflage history to wear. On a hoodie the pattern becomes an everyday object rather than surplus kit — a comfortable piece you actually reach for.

Comfort, fit and build

The shell is 100% polyester with the print on the smooth outside and a soft fleece on the inside, so it holds warmth without feeling bulky. It has an adjustable drawstring hood, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs, and a classic kangaroo pocket. The range runs S to 5XL, so it works as a roomy layer over a tee or as a single warm piece.

Made to order, sizing and care

Each hoodie is printed and sewn on order. Production and fulfilment take 4-7 days before shipping — that is the make time, not the total delivery time, and transit varies afterwards. Length is accurate to roughly ±5% because of manual measurement and production. Keep the print looking its best: machine wash cold, do not bleach, do not tumble dry.
