PRESENT / CAMOU ON CAMOU
Giacca "Pizza Camouflage" Swiss Army Alpenflage camou on camou.
Scraps of fabric from prototypes and dead stock, lasered and sewn individually on hood, shoulders and back to recreate the original camouflage effect on which camouflage is based.
Normally we use nature (leaves, branches and land) to camouflage.
Here we used our left over which thus becomes the main interpreter of the design of this jacket.
Padded orange lining inside embroidered with onion stitch, detachable and wearable individually.
The hood is detachable and covered with the same fabric offcuts.
PAST
This is the Swiss Army Alpenflage M70 Trousers.
The Swiss Military TAZ 83 is applied to the Swiss Army Kampfanzug 57/70 ("combat dress") and TAZ 83 (Tarnanzug, i.e. "camouflage dress". It also is known as "Alpenflag" or "pizza camouflage" among collectors of militaria. As military surplus camouflage clothing it came on to the army surplus market in the 1990s. The pattern is based on an experimental all-terrain pattern that saw limited service in World War II by Germany's Waffen-SS and Wehrmacht called Leibermuster.
The Kampfanzug 57/70 is a six-colour camouflage pattern consisting of a tan-coloured background with white random flecks with light green body overprinted with a green, red/reddish brown and black leaf shapes. The choice of red and green would at first glance seem to make this pattern very bright for something intended to conceal, but it works well for FIBUA (fighting in built-up areas) environments and alpine terrain. Swiss soldiers have referred to it as "Vierfrucht-Pyjama", which translates loosely as 'four-colour pyjamas'.
The Kampfanzug 57/70 was issued from 1957 to 1993 (after 1970 with a textile daypack) and the lighter TAZ 83 with different pattern from 1983 to 1993 for non-combat troops, when both dresses were replaced by TAZ 90, a print in colours of green, brown, and black.
Swiss Militärblachen with the TAZ 83 Pattern are still in Use in the Swiss Military along with Militärblachen with a green camo pattern (who is not the same pattern like the TAZ 90).
PACKAGING
Our packaging bag is made of 97% vegetable fibre (beetroot or sugar cane). The only reason this does not reach 100% is because it is manufactured using machines that usually process plastic which may leave small traces behind. The raw material is completely petrol-free and fossil substance-free. We ask you to always be careful not to dispose of it in the environment, but for safety we have added an additive that makes it completely biodegradable within 48 months.
MYAR is committed every day to selecting products that do not pollute the planet.
HANGTAG
MYAR commitment is to bring back to life past used military garments that have been stocked for long time in darkened warehouse, bringing back the light in the present time, for a second life in a civil environment.

This process of customization is also witnessed by a small white cloth sachet containing scraps of fabrics: a part of the past of this garment, which has been modified from the original to be worn today for the future coming.
