Grades - 

• Grade 2 / Original Condition - In need of some care. Previously issued in the field and with some markings, scuffs and missing buttons. The liner although stating the same size, is from a different year and is seemingly longer than the parka itself. Would need a little reworking or possibly sewing directly into the parka. Great as a work coat. Price reflects the need for some TLC.

Any questions please feel free to ask!

Vintage, retro Yugoslav kit from the cold war, made for war, in the cold. Previously general issue from the late 70's onwards, these saw use right up to the fall of Yugoslavia and for a short time after by various former republics while they got things sorted. Now a good 50 years onwards, these parkas are slowly becoming scarce. Being standard issue uniform, they're made for a durable waxed cotton material and include plenty of useful features.

Made to be exceptionally durable, these are a great piece of winter kit. Each coat has some great storage options, namely the "poacher's" pockets and fishtail on the back. These are big pockets, perfect for softer items, blankets, towels, clothes etc. which is great if you're looking for some help camping! Of course there's regular pockets as well, providing ample storage. The liner is wonderfully warm and can be taken out on a whim thanks to the attaching buttons.

These make for a great piece of winter clothing, especially in such a neutral colour, but also given the history of the piece make for a wonderful collector's item.
