Genuine Czech Army Issued Olive Drab M85 Field Jacket

This is a top notch jacket, very well made, and actually pretty stylish (not why I got it). size wise,the 40" for me was pretty good, as a mid weight jacket over just a tshirt I am 182cm with a 100cm chest (6ft with 40"), and it is fairly snug, but looks better for it. I followed this up buying the 42" version as I originally purchased this as an autumn/spring jacket for fishing, and the little bit of extra room will accomodate another layer, allow a bit more freedom of movement. still keeping the 40 though, as it actually looks smart enough to wear out in the evenings/down the pub (contemplating dyeing it black, but not needed and possibly a thin layer of wax to add water repelancy). in both jackets the sleeves are plenty long enough for my gibbon like arms 42 obviously a little bit longer still. and I really like the high collar and its button up ability to keep out the chill. inside pockets are handy (wallet and a smaller one that just about fits a zippo lighter or some coins. The rear pockets are unusual, but I kind of like them as can stuff my fingerless gloves in there out of the way. the material is faily stiff, but I feel like that offers a bit more protection from the elements, but sure it would soften after a few washes. all in all absolutely worth the money, (would it be wrong to get a third one just incase I ruin one?)

Great jacket. It's actually fairly heavy for what you'd think of as a lightweight jacket. The thing is covered with pockets. Two pockets around the back at the bottom, which you won't see on the photo, buttons to do up the front pockets, two interior pockets behind the front two, even an even smaller pocket on one of those pockets. You could store as much as you would in a small backpack in one of these. It's more green than olive, but otherwise a fantastic rugged jacket. There are two small button holes that seem to act as vents below each armpit as well, which seem a bit peculiar.On to condition, it's... in fairly good nick. But, and here's my one complaint, I'm a bit confused about the condition, with the product described as "Issued Unused" and the receipt listing it as "Unissued." There's a bit of fraying around some of the threads, particularly on the buttons, there seems to be an excess that has just been left to hang off. Simple enough to fix with a pair of scissors. Mine has a faint white circular mark, around a centimeter across just beside the pocket. Only noticeable if you look closely, but I'm a tad wary. Inside the OZKN Presov tag looks like it's falling apart, and there's some darkening around the edge of the collar. But, it looks to be machine washable at up to 60 degrees, so on the off chance this isn't merely the signs of long term storage (I wouldn't call it damage at all), I'm not bothered.Delivery was very quick, it only came two days after the products I'd ordered via Prime, and for the price? It's a perfect jacket. I would buy again - and am actually considering it.

I knew the jacket was going to be slightly large for me anyway but it still fits nicely and is super super warm and comfy. Like other reviews have said there is a few longer threads that need to be trimmed all over the jacket but that's not a problem. I don't button up my jackets so the waist elastic sticks out but I solved this by tucking it into a button hole on one side and tying it in a few loops on the other. It's long elastic and could probably do to be trimmed down a bit. The buttons on the military shoulder straps are odd, one is metal and the other is either painted metal or plastic and the painted/plastic one is loose but that can be easily fixed so it doesn't bother me.Like others have mentioned there are two pockets on the back but I like them I prefer back pockets anyway. There are two inside pockets, I'm not sure what to fit inside the really small pocket except taxi money hahaha.It's a very smart, warm jacket that looks really cool with patches sewn onto it (which was the whole reason I bought it), but it's pretty cool on it's own and I'm really surprised it was only 9.99

The actual garment isn’t too bad but wow.... the smell! Not sure the journey it has taken but how anyone can sell something that smells so bad... bar stink bombs! Shorter than I expected too. Would send it back but not worth it for the money... avoid unless you have a redundant nose.

A very good jacket, well made and comfortable. The rearward position of the waist pockets is a bit strange but not noticeable (I have put in them things that are seldom used). It would be good to know why the Czech army specified pockets in this position! There are two large external pockets at chest level and on internal pocket with a small ancillary pocket that is about big enough to store a data stick. All in all an excellent buy and very good value.

Really good. Smart enough to go to the shops but tough enough for gardening. Excellent value. Fit is good. Looks new and stored for years, so a little stiff at first.

The jacket is of very good quality, the fit is perfect & when I use the draw cords around the waist, it looks like it was tailored to fit!!!I'm a 42" chest, 33" waist and 5ft 11" if this helps anybody deciding if they like one. The jacket is a little bit bigger than advertised but still room for a sweater underneath.

Top value, nice thick fabric, elasticated waste string bit crap, buttons bit fiddly but at least solid. Bit too wide for me but still wearable [don't expect tailored fit]. Length fine [btw I'm 6ft, 33 waste, average build] Nicer than the alternative plain surplus shirts/light jackets I've seen at this price. Back pockets quite cool IMHO, nice collar, even has inside pockets
