Italian Guardia di Finanza Parka

Guardia di Finanza Parka

This is the grey service parka of Italy's Guardia di Finanza, the militarized police corps responsible for customs, borders and financial crime. It is a hooded outer layer with an inner liner, built for officers standing duty outdoors through cold, wet weather. Collectors of Italian uniform get a genuine government-issue piece, and anyone after a practical, plain-colored winter jacket gets a parka with real cargo space and an adjustable fit.

Features

• Stowaway Hood — The hood zips away inside the collar and pulls out when the weather turns.
• Inner Liner With Knit Collar — A separate inner layer with its own zip, snap closures and a ribbed knit collar adds warmth around the neck and torso.
• Storm Flap Front — A full-length zip sits under a snap-closed storm flap, a fabric panel that covers the zip to keep wind and rain out.
• Snap-Flap Cargo Pockets — Two large lower pockets close with snap-down flaps and hold gloves, a hat or a phone securely.
• Hand-Warmer Pockets — Angled side openings behind the cargo pockets let you warm your hands without opening a flap.
• Drawcord Waist — An internal drawcord threaded through eyelets cinches the waist to trap heat and tidy the fit.
• Insignia Hook-And-Loop Patches — Hook-and-loop tabs on each collar point and shoulder straps are where rank and unit insignia were fitted.
• Adjustable Snap Cuffs — Cuffs close with snaps, so you can tighten them over gloves or loosen them for airflow.
• Interior Pocket — A pocket on the inside of the front panel keeps documents and valuables off the outside of the jacket.

Issued Italian Kit

The parka follows the corps' uniform pattern: a grey shell with yoked chest panels, shoulder straps and collar tabs for insignia, and a lining printed with the Guardia di Finanza name. The cut is long enough to cover the hips, with room underneath for a sweater. Because it was made for a government service rather than a fashion label, it is a genuine piece of Italian uniform history and a sensible choice for reenactors, collectors and everyday cold-weather wear.
