East German NVA Black Coveralls

NVA Black Coveralls

These one-piece black cotton coveralls were issued by the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee), the National People's Army of East Germany. A coverall goes on over or in place of regular clothes and keeps grease, dirt and dust off you from collar to ankle, with no gap at the waist. They suit workshop and garage work, collectors of Warsaw Pact uniforms, and reenactors who need authentic East German kit.

Features

• Cotton Construction — The suit is made from cotton, which breathes well and stands up to repeated washing.
• Concealed Button Front — A fabric placket covers the buttons down the front so they sit flat and do not snag on tools or machinery.
• Two Flapped Chest Pockets — Large patch pockets on each side of the chest close with a buttoned flap to keep small items from falling out when you bend.
• Reinforced Sleeve Panels — A second layer of fabric is stitched over each elbow and forearm, where a work garment takes the most abrasion.
• Button-Tab Cuffs — Buttons at the wrists let you close the sleeves down to keep debris out or open them up for airflow.
• Adjustable Ankle Tabs — Button tabs at the hems tighten the leg openings over boots.
• Reinforced Seat Panel — An extra panel set into the seat adds strength where the coverall sees the most strain when you kneel or crouch.
• Classic Pointed Collar — A conventional shirt-style collar finishes the neck and closes with a top button.

Original East German Issue

This is genuine NVA issue rather than a commercial copy, cut to the plain, practical pattern of East German military workwear. Sizing is marked on a label inside the collar in the original East German system, so check the label against your measurements before you order. The black cotton, the reinforced wear points and the simple button hardware make it a useful work suit and an authentic piece of Cold War uniform history.
