We got blessed with some Czech M85 parka jackets. They're very functional and nigh indestructible, with just the right touch of misery sprinkled into the mix. The punchline is that they don’t have a liner or anything else with them. So just a shell jacket. What you wear under it, if anything, is up to you.

Features

If you’re already the owner of the Czech M85 parka, with all the goodies that come with it, this is a valid spare part for the shell. Those who’re more adept with some needle and thread will figure out a way to add their own liner to this one, though it’s not a bad jacket as is. The parka is properly designed and the material is sturdy and weather-resistant, so this is just the coat for outdoor activities or the workshop.

The shell parka

• Water resistant, windproof fabric
• Long hem, with zipper & button closure
• Essential pockets, two hand warmers, and two breast pockets
• Possibility to add a drawcord adjustment on the hem and waist
• Lots of buttons

The extras

• None

The material is all synthetic, and you can probably wash it at about 40° degrees Celsius (104 °F) if necessary.

Size info

Sizes according to user's recommended user height and chest circumference in centimeters or inches. This parka is designed to accommodate other clothing underneath; no need to pick a larger size just to be sure. If you're a few cm wider or taller than the recommended numbers, it's still OK! This is especially true when wearing it without the liner.

Genuine military surplus

Used and stored for some time, so you should expect some markings, storage dust, and the sort. Some may have a patch sewn onto the arm. Some lack all the elastic strings at the hem and waist. All are in serviceable condition.
