Fairly modern army surplus from beautiful Italy. This jacket is apart of the Roma 75 series, a uniform that lasted the Italian Army around 2 decades. This model saw use by mountaineer troops in Tyrol and other Alpine regions of Italy. It is made of a wonderfully soft moleskin type material, likely a cotton and polyester blend.
It offers 2 large pockets on the chest which can be zipped shut, 2 more down at the waist and a finally a small sleeve pocket initially intended for radios or bandages. You'll also find button adjustable cuffs to help give a more tailored fit and armpit vents to help the jacket breathe in warmer weather. The shoulders have functional epaulettes for securing all of your kit if desired.
Being a classic piece of Cold War surplus from a NATO aligned country, the jacket is in a solid olive green colour and features the Italian Forces' star on each side of the collar. It's a fantastic windbreaker and is ideal for hiking, camping or even just casual wear and taking the dog for a walk.
