Grades -
- Grade 1.5 - Good condition, has seen previous signs of field use. The belt that usually accompanies this parka is missing. Zipper works but is very stiff. Buttons on shoulders have been resewn. Hood colour is a slightly different shade. Price reflects this extra bit of wear, but the coat is still ready for much more use if cared for.
Any questions please feel free to ask!

An absolute classic of Czech surplus. Vintage parkas like this one are renowned for their durability. First seeing general issue in the 1980's, these became standard issue for decades to come and inspire the current Czech and Slovak uniforms. Made of a tough and durable cotton canvas material they'll last you years.
The jackets come with 2 button chest pockets and 2 handwarmer pockets on the hips. You'll also find functional shoulder epaulettes and an internal drawstring. The collar can also be turned over and fastened shut to help windproof the jacket if you find yourself particularly harsh, something aided by the hood which can be fastened shut for wind protection.
