Above all, it’s a truly tasteful camouflage pattern—it’s awesome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’m not entirely sure if it’s true, but according to information I sourced from a contact in Germany, it wasn't widely distributed and was used only on a limited basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHearing things like that really gets me excited! haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual impact is outstanding, but putting it on is another level entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oversized hood and this silhouette. I initially thought it might be too big, but when I actually tried it on, the \"slouchy\" fit felt surprisingly comfortable and great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere aren't any pockets on the front, but there is one giant one on the inside. It’s not designed in a way that things would fall out easily, so it’s actually quite convenient. Please check the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric quality is great, and the silhouette looks cool from every angle—it’s a piece of military gear I sincerely recommend. Plus, it’s honestly incredibly difficult to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor that reason, I highly recommend it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have to wonder, why are the uniforms of this \"People's Army,\" not to mention the camouflage from the Czechoslovak era, so incredibly cool?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe currently have a wonderful camo smock from the Czechoslovak era in our online store, so please take a look at that as well if you're interested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/totocz.com\/products\/1950s-ceskoslovenska-lidova-armada-clouds-camouflage-reversible-jacket?_pos=7\u0026amp;_sid=5445b345a\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e1960s Československá lidová armáda Clouds camouflage reversible jacket\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWashed once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFree Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eModel height - 174cm man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterial - Cotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize - Fits mens XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMeasurement on flat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLength 72.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWidth 64\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShoulder width 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSleeve length 68\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThere is some damage slightly below the center of the front-left side and on the left shoulder, but it does not interfere with wear. It is highly unlikely that this damage will worsen with future use, as these are not areas that experience stress while worn. Otherwise, the condition is practically perfect, and the zipper moves smoothly! Given the rarity and the era of this item, I believe the condition is perfectly acceptable.
