EAST GERMAN OFFICER PARADE JACKET LIKE NEW

Authentic surplus from the National People's Army (NVA) of the former German Democratic Republic, this East German Officer Parade Jacket is offered in like-new condition — a genuine piece of Cold War history ready to move off the rack. With its distinctive sage/mint green wool-blend shell, peaked lapels, double-breasted silver button front and embroidered collar tabs, it's an instantly recognizable garment that draws collectors, reenactors, and surplus-fashion shoppers alike.

Originally issued for ceremonial and parade duty, the jacket has the structured silhouette of formal military tailoring: padded shoulders with shoulder-board loops and retaining buttons, sharp peaked lapels piped in green, a clean double-breasted closure with four silver dome buttons, two flap-covered hip pockets, and three-button working cuffs. The bullion-style embroidered Litzen on the collar — green stripes on a black field — give it that unmistakable NVA officer character that sells on sight.
