The Czech M85 uniform is really good, much as some might hate to admit it. Unlike the trousers, the jacket is not even hindered by ugliness, at least not as much as the trousers. This is a four-season jacket that's built to last. Like the trousers, it's more or less a direct copy of the Soviet Mobutu super-commando uniform's jacket.

• Hem length is as is usual for field jackets - ends just above the crotch
• Button closure
• Collar can be pulled up to cover the neck with a button tab to keep it in place
• Cuffs have buttons so you can open them
• Two chest pockets, two hem pockets - the hem pockets are positioned on the backside, so your combat webbing doesn't come over them
• Two inner pockets - one big and one small, the latter being intended for a field dressing
• Elastic tightening cord at waist
• Button-closed epaulets

Based on our burn test, the jacket seems to be made of a very thick cotton weave cloth that might have a small polyester content. The fabric and seams are built to last.

Czech Army Surplus

In theory, the jackets are used, though some seem like new. Some pieces might be missing the elastic tightening cord. The used ones are in a very nice condition too.
