Jackets are made from the highest quality of modern materials, but still have retained an authentic representation of this unusual pattern of camouflage, allowing them to be recognized as a unique winter jackets movie "Where Eagles dare" - dir. Brian G. Hutton (1968)

Anyone who watched the movie knows that parka jacket is double-sided, which means that one side is covered with forest camouflage, and the other side is uniformly white. In this way, both the forest and snow camouflage is available in one jacket, by turning it to the other side. The jacket is double-sided, so all pockets and fasteners are double.
The fabric is made of a military material "Combat 2000", which is a mixture polyiester / cotton. This material was used by the Ministry of Defence (Ministry of Defense - MOD), to perform the most durable and practical military clothes at the beginning of 2000. The jacket is so designed for very heavy use. Of course, nothing is indestructible, but you will need a lot of effort and time to put up with this jacket. Camouflage is applied the same method as it is applied to modern military jackets. This ensures that the colors will not fade. The material of which the jacket is not only very wind resistant but also waterproof. What is important retains full properties up to at least 30 washes.

This material was chosen specifically because of its strength and hydroscopic properties. These features distinguish it from others. Despite modern materials jacket still retains the same look as those used in the film.

The drawstring waist tape is that after the establishment of the jacket fits closely to the body.
On both sides there are pockets with buttons. Sleeves have reinforcement in the form of additional pieces of material "Combat 2000" at the height of the elbows. Cuffs are buttons to stop the ingress of rain and minimize heat loss.
The most important and the most characteristic feature of the jacket is a camouflage pattern. Opinions are divided whether is a model of the Second World War, or not. But one thing is certain. This is a faithful representation of camouflage used in the film. It can be described as a cross between the Wehrmacht Splinter pattern type A and blurred , muddy model.

Camouflage pattern is very good. Geometric green segments are softened fuzzy edges, which makes it the dominant camouflage beige background is very effective. In addition, the effect is potentiated camouflage rain drops in the form of vertical green lines marked on the fabric asymmetrically. This allows the person in the jacket perfectly blends with the environment, both up close and far away.
