The Yugoslav Army M87 shirt is an 1980s pattern, this example dated 1988, and it was trialled by the airborne troops in 1987 and 1988 before it went any further.

It features a button closure, two button pockets, adjustable cuffs and shoulder epaulettes, cut in a durable cotton and printed in the oak leaf — the pattern the JNA carried, and the one that outlived the country that made it.

Measured flat, it runs 24" pit to pit and fits a slim large figure — the label suggests around 108cm and a height of 180cm — with sleeve lengths of 25" and a collar to hem of 30 inches.
