- Grade 1 - Fantastic condition surplus for something previously issued back in the 80's. General signs of light prior use but mostly needs some wear to loosen out any creases. Ready to wear!

Fantastic vintage communist stock, designed for the cold European winters. These saw general issue in the Hungarian People's Army's tank divisions and I believe a few other motorized branches. These parkas a slightly shorter design than the usual ones seen in use by the HPA, aiding in flexibility.
The quilted liner has elasticated wrist bands to help really insulate you and can easily be worn under plenty of other coats or (if it's dry out) just by itself! The parka is lovely, nice and water resistant thanks to the waxed style material. Fantastic for warmer interchangeable weather too when the liner is removed. There's also plenty ample storage, with a total of 5 across the coat and liner. The shoulder buttons and top collar are embossed with the Hungarian People's Army coat of arms which adds a delightful touch!
This is a fantastic outdoor jacket full of soviet history and design.
