Czech Army M98 Cold Weather Parka

Czech Army M98 Parka

The M98 is a cold weather parka in issued military pattern, built to go over a uniform when temperatures drop. It pairs a cotton and polyester outer shell with a quilted inner lining, and closes with both a zipper and a buttoned front so wind has a harder time getting through. It suits collectors of Central European kit, reenactors, and anyone who wants a long, warm, practical coat with real service provenance.

Features

• Cotton And Polyester Shell — The blended outer fabric combines the feel of cotton with the strength and quicker drying of polyester.
• Quilted Inner Lining — A dark, diamond-stitched quilted lining holds insulation evenly through the body for cold weather wear.
• Zip And Button Front — A full-length zipper sits behind a buttoned outer placket, giving a double closure against wind and rain.
• Notched Lapel Collar — The wide collar buttons at the throat so it can be turned up and closed around the neck.
• Knit Storm Cuffs — Ribbed knit cuffs inside the sleeves seal around the wrists to keep cold air from running up the arms.
• Drawstring Waist — An internal cord channel at the waist lets you gather the coat in to trap warmth and tidy the fit.
• Shoulder Straps And Chest Yoke — Epaulettes on each shoulder and a cape-style yoke across the chest follow the cut of a traditional service coat.
• Embroidered Sleeve Insignia — A shield-shaped patch on the left sleeve carries a white double cross on a red field framed by a gold wreath.
• Slanted Hand Pockets — Angled pockets at the hips sit at a natural height for warming hands or holding small items.

Original Service Issue

This is genuine army-issued outerwear, made to a government pattern rather than a fashion brand's take on military style. The olive brown shell, mid-thigh length and layered closures reflect a coat designed for daily duty in cold weather. For collectors and reenactors, authentic issue kit offers a provenance and build standard that commercial copies do not.
