A torn strap or missing button is a small problem until you are miles from a replacement.
This genuine German military sewing kit was issued to Bundeswehr troops for field repairs to uniforms, packs, straps, and other gear. Known informally as a soldier’s “housewife,” the entire kit rolls into a compact olive drab cotton pouch that takes up almost no room in a rucksack, vehicle kit, bug out bag, or camping gear.
Practical, compact, and authentic military surplus.
Everything You Need for Field Repairs
Each Bundeswehr sewing kit contains the basics needed for common repairs without carrying a full sewing box.
• Olive drab cotton pouch with tie closure
• Metal sewing scissors
• Olive drab and navy thread
• Additional dark and OD thread
• Assorted uniform buttons
• 5 sewing needles in assorted sizes
• Metal thimble
• 2 safety pins
Contents may vary slightly between individual surplus kits.
Genuine Bundeswehr Military Surplus
These are authentic post war German Bundeswehr issue kits, not reproductions and not WWII Wehrmacht items.
Each kit is sold in used military surplus condition, so wear, markings, thread colors, buttons, and minor contents may vary. Every kit will include the core sewing supplies needed for field repairs, including scissors, thread, buttons, and needles.
That variation is part of what makes genuine surplus interesting. No two kits are guaranteed to be exactly alike.
Small Kit. Serious Utility.
Keep one with your camping gear, bushcraft kit, emergency supplies, vehicle, rucksack, or surplus collection and have the basics ready when a seam gives up or a button disappears.
Authentic military surplus does not stay around forever. Grab a genuine German Bundeswehr Military Sewing Kit today and add a compact piece of field proven repair gear to your kit while they are still available.
