This is a special piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDropping this on an ordinary weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn five years of running this shop, this is the third one I’ve found: Czechoslovak People's Army camouflage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s in outstanding condition, a cardigan style with pockets, and the sizing is incredible too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s not reversible, but because the fabric is naturally reversible, it looks cute even when worn inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis was originally a smock,\u003c\/span\u003e but it’s been modified back in the day into a front-buttoning, collarless open-front jacket. It’s truly elaborately made; the stitching and patterns on the sides and shoulders are fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe width is about an XL and the length is around an L—it has the perfect silhouette and fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos of it worn on the reverse side feature a female model, for your reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camouflage is absolutely wild; it’s too cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton fabric is also soft and high-quality—thicker than a shirt but lighter than a jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo give a brief explanation of this camouflage, it’s the camo pattern used by the army of the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, which existed from the mid-50s until 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround here, it’s officially called the Czechoslovak People's Army, and the camouflage name is \"DUBÁKY.\" A friend of mine in the vintage military business told me that this means \"mushrooms\" in Czech, and it's called that because it actually looks like them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the way, there are a few patterns of this People's Army camo, and this is the very first one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou might be wondering what a \"People's Army\" is, but in short, it refers to an army maintained by a socialist state or a communist party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Czech Republic is a republic now, its history before the Velvet Revolution in '89 is extremely complex and heavy. It would take a long time to explain, so if you're interested, please look it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe communist regime ended with the revolution in '89, and there is the history of the country splitting into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in '93.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis story is truly important history for the current Czech Republic. When I hear stories from elderly people I occasionally meet at bars about those days—work, politics, war, immigration, and so on—the content is almost always breathtaking and intense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so, this is a truly historical piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands out for its unique look, its rarity, and so much more, but what makes me happiest is that it genuinely looks cool when you wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly, this is an item you can’t just find out in the wild. After living in Europe for about five years, we’ve built various connections and met people who were originally in the military, which is how we arrived at things like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’m truly grateful for every connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s arriving at quite a price, but it’s a wonderful piece of clothing that cannot be judged by numbers alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI don’t like using the word \"wonderful\" too much, but this is truly wonderful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’d be happy if you could share that sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve posted links below to the two we’ve stocked in the past, so please take a look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/totocz.com\/products\/1950s-ceskoslovenska-lidova-armada-dubaky-camouflage-trousers-w?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=dc9c11f06\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e・1950s Československá lidová armáda DUBÁKY camouflage trousers \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/totocz.com\/products\/1950s-ceskoslovenska-lidova-armada-clouds-camouflage-reversible-jacket?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=dc9c11f06\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e・1960s Československá lidová armáda Clouds camouflage reversible jacket\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Czechoslovakia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWashed once\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-section\" id=\"shopify-section-product-template\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-enable-history-state=\"true\" data-cart-enable-ajax=\"true\" data-extra-tab-content=\"\" data-show-extra-tab=\"false\" data-image-zoom-type=\"lightbox\" data-section-type=\"product-template\" data-section-id=\"product-template\" id=\"ProductSection\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-product-template\" class=\"shopify-section\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"ProductSection\" data-section-id=\"product-template\" data-section-type=\"product-template\" data-image-zoom-type=\"lightbox\" data-show-extra-tab=\"false\" data-extra-tab-content=\"\" data-cart-enable-ajax=\"true\" data-enable-history-state=\"true\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e※Shipping included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eModel height - 174cm man \/ 167cm woman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterial - Cotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize -  Fits XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMeasurement on flat (cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLength 61\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWidth 65\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSleeve length 85 (raglan sleeve)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNo issues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TOTO.CZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52156235481431,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/3097\/3881\/files\/IMG_5568_3a5565a9-8255-4da6-a860-2b79ad6b55a4.jpg?v=1763033204","url":"https:\/\/totocz.com\/en\/products\/1950s-ceskoslovenska-lidova-armada-dubaky-camouflage-jacket","provider":"TOTO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
