A beautiful piece of Slovak surplus that takes heavy inspiration from it's predecessor's design book. Being very close to the Czechoslovak's guard coat, this Slovak parka has some beautiful features. It first saw use in the early days of Slovak independence and was used for career soldiers who were stationed on guard duty, often for more ceremonial occasions. The coat is made of a poly-cotton blend making it very comfortable, while the detachable quilted liner is entirely polyester.
For features you have 4 zipper pockets, 2 on the chest and 2 on the hips which double up as handwarmer pockets. There is a wonderful thermal quilted liner which can be detached at any point to suit all seasons. For a more tailored look you'll find both the cuffs and waist have a belt. The whole coat comes in a solid Slovak olive drab colour, great for outdoors themed wardrobes.
