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.

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.
