We all love the woodland patterns of the 80s and 90s, even weird ones like Polish M93 and Belgian Jigsaw. But what if you wanted a more modern cut or fabric that doesn't have thirty years of surplus stank? Welcome Turkish Woodland. That's right, a new production, actually adopted by a military, woodland camo from 2018.
What the heck even is that?
Thought to be rushed into production after the 2016 coup-attempt, this pattern appears to be an arid recolor of French CE woodland applied to modern uniform cuts. Effective in temperate and arid woodlands, this Turkish Woodland camo is effectively a surplus resto-mod, perfect for camping, hunting, mil-sim, and messy desert politics.
Modern Coziness, Vintage Blend
This stout parka offers four zippered front pockets, a zippered shoulder pocket, and a removable zippered, quilted, woobie-like liner cozy enough to be worn on its own as a smoking jacket. A hidden hood keeps your noggin dry and warm, and an inside chest pocket keeps your DMs close to your heart.
Specs
Condition
Parkas are generally in great condition, with only mild signs of wear at most (no tears, cuts, major stains, or holes), and all hardware (zippers, buttons, etc) present and functional.
Sizing
Turkey has a surprisingly well put together sizing system for their garments. Essentially, it's like European sizes, where the listed size is the user's chest circumference multiplied by 2 (eg a Size 51 is meant for someone with a 102cm chest circumference).
They also have heights for each garment, which are very similar to the US Military's 'Short', 'Regular', and 'Long', which we've translated the Turkish sizes to.
Turkish Woodland Lined Parka
One of the snap buttons for attaching the liner sleeve immediately fell apart (maybe rivet was bad or just degraded) but this is an easy fix with a little Amazon order, it's a standard snap fixture
Was bigger than the size chart implied but I was going for oversized anyway. Really high quality and warm.
I feel like this jacket gives me the cojones needed to fire an RPG at incoming Hind attack helicopters. They run large because I guess Iranians are some thicc bois. I got the small and it fits my dainty 175lbs 5'7 frame.
This parka looks super cool and fits me really well. I have plenty of room for a hoodie or thick fleece for layering underneath.
This parka is new and comfortable
