KAZ57 parka

Recently found this beautiful KAZ57 parka dated 1960.

Not an unusual find per se,  but not usually found  in this size ( about a 120 chest ) and conditions ( unissued ).
It does have normal lenght sleeves, not the familiar short ones.

Now thats a nice fresh piece and an early one too.

I agree, a very nice condition early production piece in a HUGE size. As it so happens I just saw what might be a good size trousers for this parka. Looks to be 108cm.

The price is pretty steep, but maybe after the guy doesn't sell it a few times the price will come down.

Note that this is M59, not M57. Easy difference is snaps on M57, buttons on M59.

Thanks Steve,

Yes, definitely a  KAZ59, not 57.

Thanks for the link ; they are definitely  big .      I dug out these near mint KAZ59 trousers today; they have been with me since the 80s.
