Description
Czechoslovak Field Jacket
The M60, also designated vz. 60, is the field jacket the Czechoslovak Army began issuing in 1963 and kept in service into the 1980s. It is a mid-weight cotton-polyester shell printed in raindrop camouflage, the pattern of short vertical streaks that marks Cold War Eastern Bloc uniforms. Collectors, reenactors and anyone who wants a wind-resistant outer layer with real service history wear it.
Features
- Raindrop Camouflage — Dark vertical streaks over a mottled green base break up the outline of the wearer in grass and woodland.
- Cotton-Polyester Shell — The blended fabric holds up to field use and cuts the wind.
- Concealed Button Front — A fly placket covers the buttons, so nothing snags on brush or webbing.
- Flapped Chest Pockets — Two chest pockets sit under wide flaps that keep the contents in place.
- Lower Front Flap Pocket — A flapped pocket at the waist closes with a fabric tab over a button.
- Rear Flap Pocket — A large flapped pocket on the lower back holds flat items such as maps or gloves.
- Elbow Reinforcement Panels — Extra panels stitched over the elbows add a second layer of fabric where sleeves rub most.
- Button-Tab Cuffs — A tab and button at each wrist let you snug the cuff over a glove or open it for air.
- Turn-Down Collar — The collar can be worn open or buttoned up at the throat against wind.
Issue And Specification
This is genuine Czechoslovak Army issue, made to the military's own pattern rather than a commercial maker's version of it. The M60 cut is straight and hip length with a center back seam, sized to fit over a shirt or light sweater. The raindrop print and vz. 60 designation make it a key piece for anyone building a Czechoslovak or wider Warsaw Pact uniform set.

Quite possibly one of the koolest things I've ever orderedThis is my second time buying from keepshooting, and once again everything was perfect. The item arrived very fast, was packed well, and they even sent a message when it shipped. 10/10 easily one of the best sellers. Love the jacket and all their cool surplus.
Would absolutely buy from again

Love this jacketReally happy with this jacket, the raindrop camo looks awesome in person. It's got that vintage military feel but still holds up nice. Got an XL and the fit was pretty spot on maybe slightly boxy but thats expected for surplus.

Great field jacket for the priceTook this Czech M60 out on three overnights now and it holds up great in the woods... if you do a lot of shoulder-season camping where you need something tough but not heavy, this is the one to grab.

Bought It for My Son, Ended Up Keeping ItOkay so here's how this went: my son is really into Cold War military history and i saw this thing listed and thought 'well that looks cool and it's not expensive, what's the worst that could happen.' Ordered the XL, it showed up pretty quick, and when i pulled it out of the bag i just... kept looking at it. The camo pattern is genuinely interestin it's these thin vertical raindrop lines over a kind of mottled green-brown base, and apparently the Czechs designed it so the pattern does something wild under night vision too (my son explained this to me at length, whether i wanted him to or not). Anyway he loved it. Tried it on, fit him well, immediately started talking about 'vz60 impressions kits' which i do not fully understand but he seems happy. I will say it had a bit of a funky old-storage smell when we first opened it, alot like an antique shop, but that washed right out. The jacket itself feels bomber thick cotton, good buttons, multiple pockets. Honestly for the price this was a home run of a gift. Would absolutely buy again.
Makes a great gift for any military history or surplus enthusiast
Arrives with a notable surplus storage smell plan on washing before gifting

Solid Budget LayerOkay so i was looking for a durable outer layer to throw in my bug-out bag without spending Crye money, and this Czech M60 jacket checks alot of boxes. The heavy cotton is surprisingly wind-resistant and the raindrop camo actually breaks up your outline really well in deciduous woods... way better than you'd expect from a pattern designed in the 1960s. I got the Large and i'm 5'11" 190lbs, fits me fine through the chest but the sleeves are a little long which is honestly fine for layering over a fleece. The storm flap over the buttons is a nice touch no cold air leaking through. I did notice a faint storage smell when it arrived, nothing a day airing out on the porch didn't fix. For under $10 this thing is way more jacket than a Rothco BDU top at the same price, and it's actual military issue not a repro. Added this to my 72-hour kit alongside my MOLLE II ruck and I feel good about it.
Excellent value for a genuine military surplus jacket
Heavy cotton blocks wind surprisingly well
Raindrop camo is effective in wooded environmentsFaint musty storage smell out of the package
