Mylle's Austrian Stuff

Comparison of KAZ 03 Nässeschutzjacken:

Left from 2008, right from 2005

Another comparison pic.This time 4 KAZ 03 fleecejackets with different
manufacturing dates and manufacturers. From ltr: 2005(FECSA-Spain),2007(FECSA),
2010(Csizmarik-Hungary),2012(Csizmarik).

I can't help thinking...

"It's ONE color!! How hard is it to make it the SAME color?!?"



Steve

Tell that the guys from the clothing-procurement section.
RAL7013(browngrey) should be the only colour. But you can find everything from solid
grey over washed-out green to chocolatebrown.Its just ridiculous .

On the plus side, Austrian military clothing is some of the best in the world in terms of overall quality. I wear Austrian boots almost every day and KAZ 75 winter trousers very consistently this time of year. I love both so much that I have duplicates to replace the ones I am wearing when they are worn out. Great stuff.

Steve

Yes thats true, many pieces are very well made.
The new KAZ 03 gore tex jackets for example are also made by a
company that makes expensive high-tech skiing clothing. And nothing beats
the lightweight DAZ 75 boots or Segeltuchschuhe made by Steinkogler or Alpschuh.My
favourite piece to wear everyday is one of my fleecejackets. The probably most ,,lost,, item during conscripttime!

Just two more KAZ 59 parkas.But with normal long sleeves.

Just a normal service dress shirt:





And another funny comparison pic:

Alex,

When does one have too many Austrian fleece liners/jackets  ???? ....    

There is room for 5 more if you use a few nails..


Or you can always send a couple to me...




S

Well you never can have enough of them.
Just wanted to show that you nearly can't find 3 with the same color, even when
they come frome the same producer(the 4 on the right are all made in Hungary).

The coolest piece of gear the Austrian army has.
But only 4 of them are mine. The other 2 are my brothers.
6 in a line just looks better.
Will look for one in your size.

The alpine version

I still miss one of those.....

I know... but hard to get. But sooner or later...

I'm sure you have one... They are more windproof and have ventilation zippers
under the arms, am I right?

Yes. Best piece of clothing the Austrian Army has got to offer!

Probably one of the nicest KAZ 59 parkas I've ever had.
Like factory new.The colors are superb fresh.

Very nice Alex,

Not seen one of those so new..

Love the fresh data on the inside.


Don't I need one of those ??



S

Thanks Sal, yes I'm proud to have one of those parkas in this
awesome condition.
Oh and the left parka above, from the comparison pic is yours!
The colors are nearly as good as the from my new one.

Just some more detailed fotos of the amazing fishtail parka.

Another KAZ 57 snapped button parka with no repairs
and modified rank insignia loops like the one from the KAZ 59 fishtail parkas.









Experimental snapped parka with interesting name tape.

Nice detail pics !!!
Alex does the KAZ 57 have the reminents of a similar name tape above the left pocket!!??

Yes, you have good eyes. Unfortunately it was removed.

Austrian Alpine-Nässeschutzjacke with minor differences to the normal variant like
ventilation zippers under the arms.

Lovely piece Alex,

And nicely patched. Looks like you scored another real useful piece of kit.



S

Another Very useable and super cool jacket Alex!!!
