Collection: Luxembourg M2011

Buy Luxembourg Surplus and M2011 Camo

Luxembourg might be a small country, but its current camo is one of the most popular ones among collectors worldwide.

In recent years, interest in Luxembourg surplus and camouflage gear has grown significantly among military collectors, bushcrafters, and reenactors. While the country's military presence is modest, its distinctive gear—especially the M2011 camouflage uniform—has become a standout piece for those interested in rare and functional European camouflage patterns. From complete Luxembourg army uniforms to individual field items like vests and helmet covers, Luxembourg camo is no longer an overlooked category.

History of Luxembourg Army Gear

Historically, Luxembourg’s armed forces relied mostly on foreign-issued gear. During the Cold War and up through the 1990s, Luxembourg troops wore Belgian uniforms, especially the well-known jigsaw camouflage. In some cases, they also used French woodland-style patterns, depending on the mission and supply. Since the military was small and focused mostly on peacekeeping, camouflage wasn’t a big priority for decades.

Collectors of vintage Luxembourg surplus often come across these older Belgian and French-made pieces. These early uniforms help trace the evolution of the country’s military style and reflect Luxembourg’s strategic partnerships within NATO and Europe. But the real turning point came in the 2010s.

The Introduction of the Luxembourg M2011 Camouflage Pattern

That changed in 2011, when Luxembourg introduced its own national pattern, known as M2011. The pattern is a traditional woodland-style camo with a flecktarn-like structure, using a mix of green, brown, tan, and black. It was developed to blend into Central European forests and countryside, and it has been the standard issue ever since. The uniforms follow modern NATO standards, with practical features like Velcro panels, ripstop fabric, and reinforced stitching.

This move gave Luxembourg a unique visual identity on international missions and added a distinct product to the European military surplus market. Today, anyone searching for Luxembourg M2011 camo or looking to buy an original Luxembourg army uniform is often trying to track down this exact pattern. It’s functional, visually appealing, and increasingly rare outside of military circles.

Luxembourg Desert Camo

What’s much less known is that a desert version of the M2011 also exists. It was produced in very limited numbers and issued only to a small group of Luxembourg soldiers deployed to Afghanistan as part of international missions. This desert variant uses lighter tones suitable for arid environments but is almost impossible to find today due to the extremely small number of uniforms that were ever made. For collectors, it’s one of the rarest modern European camo items out there.

Finding this desert M2011 is a true challenge. Unlike more common NATO desert patterns, this Luxembourg version was never mass produced and was never available through standard surplus outlets. If you're serious about tracking down unique Luxembourg surplus gear, this piece belongs at the very top of your wishlist.

What You Can Find in M2011

Various items were issued in the M2011 pattern, including full uniforms, sniper suits, vests, hats, helmet covers, pouches, tarps, and more. In our collection, you can find some of these in different sizes and mostly in great condition. Hurry up and buy your own M2011 uniform before they sell out!

Since Luxembourg maintains a relatively small military, the volume of surplus gear released to the public is extremely limited. When M2011 items do show up, they’re often snapped up quickly by collectors and fans of obscure European camo. Whether you’re searching for a complete Luxembourg army uniform, a field jacket in M2011, or just a helmet cover to complete your setup, now is the time to act.
