Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This is the original M97 Slovakian Camo Field Jacket. A genuine military surplus combat coat.
Velvet Divorce Heritage
Following the 1993 split of Czechoslovakia, Slovakia developed the unique vz. 97 woodland camouflage to equip their forces. This genuine surplus jacket—available in lightly worn Grade 1 condition—carries this post-Cold War history. With the original embroidered Slovak coat of arms on the sleeve, it offers collectors and outdoorsmen a unique piece of military heritage.
Heavyweight Utility and Storage
Known locally as the "Kongo" jacket, this field coat is built for utility. It features an array of secure pockets, including internal and rear compartments, designed to keep vital tools within reach. The heavy-duty 50/50 polyester and cotton blend resists abrasions during rugged bushcraft and camping trips, while the tight weave offers breathability in changing climates.
Adjustable Field Configuration
The functional design includes an adjustable drawstring waist and button cuffs, allowing you to seal out cold drafts or loosen the fit for active hiking. Hook-and-loop chest strips let you mount custom insignias, while the button-down front with a protective flap adds extra durability. It is an ideal outer layer for demanding workwear, paintballing, or tactical training.
Equip yourself with a piece of genuine Slovakian military history for your next outdoor campaign.
This item was used by the Other Army during the Post‑Cold War (1991–2000) 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.
A four-color woodland pattern featuring irregular, rounded blotches in black, brown, and foliage green over a khaki base. Developed as a successor to earlier Czechoslovakian patterns following the dissolution of the republic, it was engineered to provide effective concealment in Central European temperate forests.
