Slovakian Army Combat Jacket

Slovak Issue Field Jacket

This is a combat jacket issued to the Slovak armed forces, cut as a long field coat that covers the hips and layers over a shirt or sweater. It is a practical outer layer for hunting, camping, range days and yard work. Collectors of Central European kit and reenactors will want it for its authentic provenance, which the embroidered Slovak double-cross emblem on the sleeve confirms.

Features

• Woodland Camouflage — A four-color pattern of green, brown, tan and black breaks up your outline in forest and brush.
• Cotton-Polyester Blend — The cotton keeps the shell breathable, and the polyester adds strength and helps the fabric hold its shape.
• Stand-Up Zippered Collar — A tall collar with a zipper closure sits high on the neck to block wind.
• Concealed Front Closure — A covered placket runs the full length of the front and keeps the fastening out of the weather.
• Hook-And-Loop Chest Tapes — Three strips of hook-and-loop fastener, the same grip-and-release system as Velcro, take name, rank and unit patches.
• Four Flapped Front Pockets — Two chest pockets and two angled lower pockets have covering flaps to keep gear in place.
• Sleeve Utility Pocket — A flapped pocket on the upper left arm keeps a pen, notebook or small tool within reach.
• Slovak National Emblem — The double-cross coat of arms is embroidered on the left sleeve as original issue insignia.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Fabric straps at each shoulder hold rank slides or a slung strap in place.

Original Military Spec

This is government-issue clothing, built to the army's own pattern rather than a fashion maker's version of it. The layout follows the classic field coat: a high collar, generous flapped pockets and a hip-length cut that leaves room for layers underneath. That cut and the insignia are what make issued kit worth owning over a commercial copy.
