Ausfwerks is a small business which brings together several excellent product ranges and produces their own tools under the Ausfwerks Design label. They also have another label, Ausfwear, which produces clothing…at the moment, only T-shirts.
As usual for Ausfwerks, the items were shipped the next day after confirming the order. Being in the same state, I received the package the next day so it was like Next Day Air for the cost of the state tax.
The first T-shirt I used has the Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502 Unit Insignia on the front and the Ausfwear logo on the back above and centered over the shoulder blades. Made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton, it has a faded look thanks to the gray color. It is garment dyed which means that the shirt was dyed after manufacture so even the label is gray; The printing made it seem like it was painted on so I stuck it in the washer for five cycles with two in the dryer with heat.
As you can see from the photos, the T-shirt seems the same as when I took it out of the package. Also note that this shirt is one of the first and does not have the Zug formations on the back. The newer shirts have the Zug formations.
The size is quite roomy and larger than stated. Also, the fabric is very soft and comfortable. Best of all, the wife stated that I should not wear any of them to the workshop as they are nice enough to ‘go outside with’, how’s that for a recommendation?
Auswear can be bought directly from Ausfwerk’s web site. The quality does indeed justify the price.
