Czech M85 Field Jacket
The M85 is a Czech Army field jacket, a lightweight outer layer cut like a heavy shirt and worn over a uniform shirt for everyday duty and field work. It comes in plain OD green (olive drab, the standard military green), with a concealed button front, flapped chest pockets and shoulder epaulettes. It suits collectors, reenactors portraying the Czech Army, and anyone who wants a simple, practical layer for the outdoors or for daily wear.
Features
- Genuine Czech Army Issue — This is original government-issue kit made for the Czech Army, not a commercial copy.
- OD Green Finish — The solid olive drab color matches most military and outdoor kit and blends into woodland and field settings.
- Concealed Button Placket — A fabric flap covers the front buttons, so they sit flat and are less likely to snag on straps or brush.
- Two Flapped Chest Pockets — A pocket on each side of the chest has a full-width flap over the opening to help keep small items in place.
- Rear Flapped Pockets — Two more flapped pockets sit low on the back panel for extra storage.
- Buttoned Shoulder Epaulettes — Fabric straps on each shoulder fasten with a button and are where rank slides or insignia are worn.
- Point Collar — A conventional shirt-style collar can be worn closed at the throat or open over a shirt.
- Button Cuffs — The sleeves close at the wrist with buttons to keep out wind and debris.
- Back Yoke Construction — A stitched panel across the upper back gives the shoulders a structured fit.
Original Army Pattern
The M85 follows the Czech Army's own pattern: a straight, hip-length cut with dark plastic buttons, epaulettes and flapped pockets front and back. Because it was made to a military specification instead of a fashion brand's idea of one, it gives reenactors and collectors the correct details. The cut leaves room to wear it over a shirt or a light sweater.

Warm Jacket That Fits GreatWore this on a weekend hike and the big pockets held all my gear without any issues. The material feels tough like real surplus stuff and kept the wind out nice. One button on the front is a little loose though. Does what its supposed to for sure.

Good Work or Outdoors JacketThis makes a good outer layer and has several well positioned pockets. It is quite well made, and is an excellent value for the money. While it is identifiable as military, it is not overly military looking and is suitable for a general use outdoors jacket. The one I received appeared unissued. The only thing else that needs mentioning is that the size "large" is really more like a medium.

Decent shirts, especially for the price.I bought two and wear them as hiking/woods shirts. They're a bit thicker, so better for cooler weather. My only complaints are the lower pockets are on the back of the shirt, it's a bit short for me (I'm about 6'), and the material is somewhat uncomfortable. You may want to look for another option if you have sensitive skin or just wear it when it's cool enough for a long sleeved undershirt. All in all a decent buy, though.
