I picked up a Dutch gore-tex jacket along with a Dutch woodland and desert shirt off eBay. Do the gore-tex jackets have a hood? If they do does anyone have a source for them? If not what was used to stay dry?

Re: Dutch Gore-Tex Jacket?
GOODMORNING!
Great Dutch gear.
This is called the parka in Dutch .Almost a obsolete item.
The parka has got a outer from a cotton mix.
Then a weth weather gore tex liner [removeble]
then a warm layer [removeble]
The rain head was a loose item.
The parka was isseud around 1992/3 the it was a revolution because Gore tex made a lot of noice and with a outer from cotton .There was no sound.

Re: Dutch Gore-Tex Jacket?
Hello Jeroen and thanks for your reply! It's just past midnight here. This parka in the picture has a permanent gore tex lining sewn in with taped seams. I also have a second parka like the one you are refering to. It has a removeable gore tex liner and warm layer. I do not have either items for the second parka. Is the "rain head" a hood that buttons into the parka? The collar on the back of both parkas have buttons for what I assume is a hood, but I have not found or seen any available.

That version is not as common maybe even rare in the size XL.
