Dutch army Parka wet weather

Description

Very robust jacket to withstand rainy weather. Jacket is coming from the Dutch army. A similar model was also in use in the British army under the name Smock Men’s Waterproof. Both jackets are made of modern waterproof fabrics that are both water resistant but in the same time breathable. Very similar to Gore-Tex. Two hip pockets and one breast pocket. Front closure with zipper and Velcro. Metal wire in the hood to keep it in shape.

Current size in stock: 6080/9095 >> Suitable for persons between 160 and 180 cm tall and with a circumference between 90 and 95 cm.

Length on back: 83 cm.
Width under armpits: 56 cm.

The Dutch army issued these jackets initially with a wool jacket that had to serve as a winter liner. The wool jacket itself was probably too ugly to wear as a individual garment.

Weight: 1,10 Kg.

Condition: Used item, descent army surplus. A few small pinholes in the inner fabric inside the neck of the jacket (See picture). Not visible from the outside. Another point of attention is that the elastic drawstring is cut shorter so the the excess thread is out of the way. Downside of this is that you can’t loosen the drawstring at the hip any more.
