Vintage surplus that is always such favourite. It was a general issue piece in the German army around the 90's and saw use in many areas, especially harsher climates. Usually parkas like this have a German flag patch on both sides, but this one, for whatever reason seems to be completely nondescript and incognito.

The main reason for their popularity is the wonderful teddybear like liner which lines the entirety of the coat. With the liner, and heavy resistance to water, it's easy to see why there's such demand. The parka has plenty of pockets, with decent storage sizes as well for whatever you're carrying about.

If you're after army quality kit, but aren't a fan of camouflages or harsher materials, this is a fantastic choice. It's a lovely neutral colour, has very few tell tale signs of being ex military and is delightfully soft and comfortable inside, while still being durable outside.
