Polish Army Leopard Camo Parka with Liner Size Medium

The warmest coat I have ever put on in my life. With a removable liner. The jacket itself is lined also. This jacket was never worn or even buttoned up. The price was better than anywhere else I have found.

with the liner installed, the coat body is pretty much a tie with the old N3-B parka in warmth, and with liner removed is about a tie with the M-65 field jacket with liner. Size runs what I would call an M-65 in Med./Long, and in what apparently is cotton construction, it closer to the Med./Reg. after warm water wash and low heat dry. Par for the course milspec construction in a couple of loose buttons, after-wash showed a super-small spot of insulation edge in armpit had edge pulled free, and one button hole in collar trying to unravel, both spots a simple whip-stitch to fix, and otherwise I'd say it was better constructed than most gear I was ever issued in the Army. Pocket liners, including left internal chest pocket of M-65 sturdiness, outer shell and liners fabric sturdier than the M-65. Collar flips up for real wind blocking, and well shaped same as a good trenchcoat in staying off back of head. The removable liner has sturdy elastic cuffs to keep in heat, waist drawstring can also give it more the tailored look.
A really good jacket/coat, it was purchased to give my old issue OD M-65 a break, and that it will be doing. For those turned off by "commie" gear, this camo pattern was adopted by the Polish Army in 1989 to distance themselves from the repressive state security goons who were wearing same camo as army, this shortly before their fall from power, no doubt aided by lack of army support.

Came exactly how I wanted it to be. Slick and warm.
