Believe it or not, the pattern on these jackets wasn't meant to be camo at all. The Vz. 92 Pracovní Uniforma (translates to "work uniform") was actually meant to hide grease and oil stains...
In 1995, shortly after being introduced, the Czech military replaced this pattern with Vz. 95 woodland, so there's not as many of these out there.
With the esoteric lore of the pattern out of the way, these certainly work well as a work uniform shirt. With their bomber-jacket-like elastic waist, they were designed with snag-free work in mind.
To round out any work shirt, it also includes two big front buttoned pockets, a snappy collar, hook and loop ID area, reinforced elbows and buttoned cuffs.
Specs
Condition
Work jackets are in great condition, with only minor signs of wear and no stains, marks, blemishes, cuts, tears, or missing hardware. Colors may vary slightly from what is shown.
The work jacket is immaculate. Came in plastic, smelled ok, wasn't bad.
However, the elastic at the bottom of the work jacket is TIGHT. Like, you could get dragged in that jacket and you'd stay nice and sealed in from the outside world.
Then again, it might be my dumpy of an ass compared to easturn yuropeen checks.
A perfect jacket for when its a little bit cold and those Santa Anas are blowing. Also as a collector of vintage military gear and 'Cold War Era' style swag, this shop has some the coolest and hardest to find stuff out there. The opposable thumbs are both up.
Great jacket and fits perfect, but -1 for there being a burn hole in the shoulder. The collar covers it though
Pros: it fits great. Material is more like an overshirt than a jacket. Good for mild weather or as an extra layer when it's cold. Cool design.
Cons: missing chest pocket buttons and the second-to-last button to actually close it. Had a small hole in the shoulder. Fixable problems so I'm not too bent out of shape about it, and not sure if that's expected or I just got unlucky.
For $20, it's a great jacket, even more so if it's intact.
Darker than pics, but good looking. A little tight when buttoned due to the elastic waist, but otherwise nice jacket that looks like it'll take a beating.
