Romanian M90 Leaf Pattern Parka With Liner, jacket in M1990 camo.

Here you have a very versatile parka coat with a thick removable liner. With the liner on, this will take you through the horrors of Narnia, and when you remove it, you can use the coat during warmer months without sweating to death. The color and style of the lining vary because of course they vary. The lining material is some strange felt stuff that was possibly ripped from the upholstery of the party leaders’ cars when Communism fell. The elbows have reinforcements, and the parka is closed with buttons, the color and style of which vary.

The coat has a soft collar that can be folded up to give you that mysteriously handsome appearance, epaulets on the shoulders, as well as two open side pockets and two buttoned breast pockets. The design of the latter ones is quite distinctively Houdinian. They have a foldable flap that is then buttoned shut, which makes sure that stuff you put in won’t drop or get pickpocketed but it won’t be quick-access gear either. Inside there are waist adjustment cords, and also the sleeves have such. Their color and style vary a bit, too, but all are pretty rough Eastern Bloc stuff.

There is a zippered hood pocket at the neck. The hood found inside is a bit of a crappety-flap like the hidden ones tend to be. The fabric has to be thin if you don’t want to have a huge hump. However, it gives some astral protection and makes you look like the villain of a hobo horror film.
