Czech Army Gray Officers Parka

Czech Officers Parka

This is a winter parka issued to officers of the Czech Army, cut long enough to cover the hips and lined throughout for cold weather. A deep pile collar closes up around the neck and jaw, and a drawstring waist keeps body heat from escaping at the middle. It suits anyone who wants a warm, plain gray coat for everyday winter wear, as well as collectors of Central European military uniforms who want the real issued item.

Features

• Cotton And Polyester Shell — The outer fabric blends cotton for a soft hand with polyester for strength and quicker drying.
• Full Pile Lining — A thick, furry pile lines the body from collar to hem, trapping warm air next to you.
• Oversized Pile Collar — The wide collar can be turned up to shield the neck and face, and it sits over a row of buttons at the neckline.
• Zip And Button Front — A full-length zipper closes the front, and a buttoned placket covers it to block wind coming through the teeth.
• Chest Storm Yoke — A layered fabric panel across the chest sheds rain and snow away from the front closure.
• Drawstring Waist — An internal cord with toggle stops lets you cinch the coat at the waist for a closer fit and less draft.
• Buttoned Lower Pockets — Two slanted hip pockets close with a button so gloves and small items stay put.
• Shoulder Straps — Epaulets, the buttoned fabric tabs on each shoulder, follow the cut of a military officer's coat.
• Czech Flag Sleeve Patch — The national flag on the upper sleeve marks the coat as Czech Army issue.

Genuine Czech Army Issue

The coat was made for the Czech Army, and it is not a fashion piece built to look military. It is gray throughout, from the shell to the collar and lining, which gives it a quiet, uniform look that works with civilian clothes. The parka is cut loose through the body and sleeves, so it goes over a sweater or fleece without binding at the shoulders.
