CZECH BLUE/GREY M97 V-NECK SWEATER LIKE NEW

Genuine Czech military issue, the M97 V-Neck Commando Sweater is a classic European service pullover in a distinctive blue-grey shade worn by Czech Armed Forces personnel. Pulled from official stores in like-new condition, each piece carries authentic Moultex factory labelling, sizing tags, and the small Czech tricolour flag patch on the upper sleeve — the real article, not a high-street knock-off.

This is the workhorse sweater your customers already know from base, beat, and fireground: a heavy ribbed knit reinforced with woven cloth patches at the shoulders and elbows where wear happens fastest. The buttoned epaulettes hold rank slides and radio mic clips, while the woven chest pocket with flap closure keeps a notebook, pen, or ID handy. The deep V-neck sits cleanly over a collared uniform shirt and tie, making it equally at home as a service garment or as a warm civilian layer.

• Buttoned epaulettes on both shoulders for rank insignia or mic clips

Fit, Color & Season

The blue-grey colorway reads as a deep, slightly heathered navy in most light — a versatile shade that pairs well with denim, OD trousers, or duty pants. Cut to a traditional European military fit: a touch slimmer through the body than U.S. commando sweaters, with set-in shoulders that move cleanly under a jacket or plate carrier. Mid-weight knit makes this a strong three-season layer — comfortable on its own in cool weather, and an excellent insulating layer beneath a softshell or parka in deep winter. Sizes are marked in Czech height/chest format on the original tag.

Condition

Sold in like-new condition — pulled from depot stocks with original tags intact and minimal to no signs of wear. As with all genuine surplus, individual garments may show minor storage character, but these are about as close to issue-fresh as Czech surplus gets.
