JACKET/PARKA/TUNIC CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE OF GARMENT |
GREATCOAT / TRENCHCOAT / WATERPROOF CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE OF GARMENT |
Because military garment sizing and labelling varies wildly, we state the wearer's chest size and height that a garment will fit. So measure yourself and look for that size in the options available. |
How we ascertain a chest size |
Jackets/parkas etc - what does "p-p" mean? |
As these garments are usually worn with a shirt or jumper underneath, we measure each garment and take 2 inches (5cm) off to define a chest size that will comfortably fit. p-p means pit to pit - i.e. the garment is laid flat and we measure across the armpits and double that distance for full circumference. |
Greatcoats, trench coats and waterproof over-jackets |
These garments are intended to be worn over multiple under-layers and so we make a 4" allowance on top of the wearer's chest size. |

100% Wool greatcoat from the soviet era Bulgarian army. These single breasted coats come in charcoal grey and are a genuine piece of cold war era militaria, with rolled sleeves to fit any arm length and red piping on the epaulettes (sometimes the piping is blue).
These full length wool coats come un-hemmed, have a cotton inner lining for comfort and some will have Soviet era pin badges/insignia on the collar.
NB: Due to the age of this item, and in order to preserve them, they have received an anti moth treatment aroma that dissipates with a good airing. Also, variations in each coat's fabrication date and the amount of use they've had, will mean no two coats are the same, but judging by the feedback below, our customers truly love their purchases.
