What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% cotton HBT fabric. This material choice is consistent with the original garments. The fabric has a slight sheen when new, which will diminish with wear and washing.
What period does this reproduction represent?
This reproduction jacket is based on the standard issue Portuguese Army camouflage jacket. It was widely used by Portuguese forces during the 1970s. The uniform also saw use by some other African countries.
How does the sizing of the jacket run?
The jacket generally runs smaller and shorter than other reproductions. It is advisable to order one size up from your usual size for a better fit. For taller individuals, the sleeves and overall length may still be short.
What should be considered regarding the sleeve cuff buttons?
Some jackets have an issue where the sleeve cuff buttons are either too large or the buttonholes are too small. This can be remedied by transferring smaller buttons from under the shoulder strap to the cuffs. This issue may explain why many historical photos show Portuguese soldiers with rolled sleeves.
Is a 'long' size available for this jacket?
The jacket is available in an XL-Long size. This option is beneficial for individuals who find the standard sizes too short in the sleeve and overall length. The standard XL size can be short for taller builds.
