East German Grey Wool Overcoat

Despite their socialist overlords, it seems the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee) couldn't shake off that classic German coat design. These coats don't look completely out of place even in a formal setting. Look sharp and turn heads in one of these quality made East German coats. Similar in look to its World War 2 predecessors, these coats are full length and finish below the knee. Made from a wool blend these are pretty warm but reasonably thin - there is a decent amount of room for base layers. The double breasted button up front is just the right amount of dapper. They have a distinctively large lapel for maximum style and 2 slanted pockets with unsecured flaps. Like any good coat there is a internal breast pocket which is a perfect size for a little bit of schnapps (or vodka). If you have sentry duty spying on your close neighbours, want a striking new look or just looking to stay warm, then try a bit of East German history on today!
