The Hungarian People's Army tank liner is a 1970s pattern, this example dated 1987.

It features a button closure, one chest pocket, a faux fur collar and a liner drawstring, cut in a heavy cotton canvas over a wool pile lining. Warsaw Pact winter kit made to button into a tank parka, heavy duty and green.

Measured flat, it runs 45" along the chest and fits a slim medium figure — the label states "46", which is about a British 36" chest — with sleeve lengths of 20" and a collar to hem of 23.5 inches.
