The genuine M85 Czech Olive Green Field Jacket is a rugged, vintage layer built for cold-war utility.
Cold War Heritage
Originally issued to the Czechoslovak People's Army (ČSLA) during the late Cold War, the vz. 85 field jacket was built to withstand demanding field training. It features distinctive crossed-swords buttons and rugged construction that represents a transitional period in Eastern Bloc militaria, making it highly prized by collectors of vintage military garments.
Practical Utility & Storage
This heavy-duty layer is made from a durable cotton-poly blend canvas, offering reliable wind resistance. The design includes two button-down chest pockets, two internal pockets, and two unique rear hip pockets designed to store soft utility gear without obstructing front movement. Built-in underarm eyelets ensure breathability during active outdoor movement.
Modern Outdoor Versatility
An internal drawstring waist allows you to adjust the fit to block out cold draughts. The concealed button placket prevents snagging on branches, which is ideal for bushcraft, hiking, and demanding workwear. The classic olive green tone pairs easily with modern civilian gear, providing a functional, timeless look for everyday wear.
Surplus Grading
This jacket is sourced from genuine surplus warehouses. It is available in Supergrade condition, representing unissued deadstock with minimal wear from storage, or Grade 1 condition, which is lightly used with minor signs of service but retains full structural integrity for field use.
Add a durable piece of Cold War history to your outdoor kit with this Czech vz. 85 field jacket.
This item was used by the Czech 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.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- 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.
