KEY FEATURES
This genuine Italian Army olive green field jacket is a classic lightweight Cold War combat layer.
Cold War Heritage
Historically known as the Modello Roma 75, this jacket was introduced in 1975 as the standard uniform for the Esercito Italiano (Italian Army). It saw active service through the late Cold War. The sewn-on collar star insignia is the traditional 'Stellette' symbol of national military service, giving the jacket its classic Italian style.
Built for the Field
This jacket is made from a tough, lightweight poly-cotton blend designed to protect you from wind and light rain. It features a button front hidden behind a protective snap-shut wind flap. For extra durability when you are crawling or working, the elbows are reinforced with double-layer fabric panels so they do not wear through.
Elasticated Waist & Pockets
What makes this jacket special is the built-in elastic front waistband. This gives it a smart, tapered fit that keeps out cold drafts without needing tight drawstrings. You also get four spacious cargo pockets with snap-flap closures. These are perfect for carrying your phone, keys, or outdoor tools when you are out in the woods.
Add a piece of rugged Italian military history to your outdoor gear list.
This item was used by the Italian Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.

- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
“The jacket arrived quite quickly. It smelled a bit musty from being in storage and could benefit from a good wash. Apart from that its quite a nice casual jacket in reasonable condition with some handy pockets although it looked as if some of the buttons had been replaced by someone with no sewing skills at all.”
“I've had this hanging in my wardrobe for some six months awaiting a first wear. Today it was revealed in all its glory for nothing less than a funeral! Whilst such events aren't usually Party Centrale, I received several comments about my jacket, all of which were thankfully fully positive! A wash was required as expected upon purchase. Being the OCD sort I also carefully ironed it, from the inside out. This step one may omit, but mine looked miles better after. It didn't have epaulettes (unlike the picture) and one or two features (buttons and interior adjustable items) had come away. It's appearance overall is slick, comfortable and stylish. Whilst you can wear anything you like underneath, I opted for a pink v-neck T shirt which complimented the garment bang on. A great buy 👍”
“Very good jacket Light weight but sturdy. Nice vintage looking jacket As Grade 1 storage smell evident but a wash soon rectified this.”
“The items arrived very quickly and were in very excellent condition as advertised.”
