{"product_id":"ab-bw-parka-stone-gray-olive","title":"AB BW Parka, Stone Gray Olive","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis older Cold War-era parka is almost as popular in Germany and Europe as the M65 jacket in the States—if you haven't seen one of these before, it's about time to get acquainted with it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe older Bundeswehr field jacket is a hooded parka with an excellent cut and a removable fake fur liner jacket. The model is refreshingly old-fashioned—there are no smartphone pockets, media ports, membranes, or other hi-tech stuff. Instead, you'll find good practical solutions for field use, like the heavy zipper, pockets with normal button closure, and thick cotton material. If you're seeking a classic military parka, this is the archetype!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe BW parka in a nutshell\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BW parka is a field jacket for three seasons. It has a removable faux fur liner, a sturdy hood, and a relatively long hem. The outer fabric is sturdy cotton, and the liner is polyester, both uncompromisingly 100 % stuff. The front closure features a sturdy zipper with a storm flap secured with buttons. The hem, waist, cuffs, and hood are all adjustable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Germans blessed the front of the jacket with four pockets, each with a button closure. The lower pockets are conveniently slanted to allow those decadent West Germans to hang about with their hands in their pockets. The inside has an additional hidden pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA noticeable feature of the fuzzy liner is that it extends into the hood - this isn't a flimsy hood you would rarely use, but a very warm and protective cover for your head and neck. It's removable through buttons and snap-fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver heard of \u003cem\u003eSteingrau-Oliv\u003c\/em\u003e? It's a new shade adopted in 1963, probably because previous German patterns and colors went permanently out of fashion in the '40s. West German field clothes were like this until the unification in the '90s when they finally dared to adopt a camo pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSome history\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production started in the early '60s and stopped in the '90s only because Flecktarn camouflage replaced all gray-green shades - the parka remained very similar. However, the old model was so loved that manufacturers kept carrying the torch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jacket is factory-new reproduction. We sell these to fill the void left by the ever-shrinking numbers of the original surplus items. The country of manufacture is not labeled but it's most likely China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anton Blöchl","offers":[{"title":"EU 46","offer_id":51826569970003,"sku":"68547","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 48","offer_id":51826570002771,"sku":"68548","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 50","offer_id":51826570035539,"sku":"65188","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 52","offer_id":51826570068307,"sku":"68550","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 54","offer_id":51826570101075,"sku":"68551","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 56","offer_id":51826570133843,"sku":"68552","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 58","offer_id":51826570166611,"sku":"68553","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 60","offer_id":51826570199379,"sku":"68554","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 62","offer_id":51826570232147,"sku":"68555","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 64","offer_id":51826570264915,"sku":"68556","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 66","offer_id":51826570297683,"sku":"68557","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU 68","offer_id":51826570330451,"sku":"68558","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1952\/9555\/files\/51668611243bc2ede0.jpg?v=1782212871","url":"https:\/\/varustilika.com\/en\/products\/ab-bw-parka-stone-gray-olive","provider":"Varusteleka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
