This piece was worn by soldiers of the CSLA during that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this example presents a solid green colourway, variants of the same pattern existed in the distinctive CSLA camouflage patterns — \"Clouds Camouflage\" and \"Dubaky Camouflage\" — suggesting production across multiple colour and pattern variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its original specification, the smock featured an oversized hood designed to be worn over a helmet, with integral gloves at the cuffs. This example has been modified by a previous owner, with both elements removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV-neck construction in a pullover style allows for ease of donning and doffing. The piece bears characteristic sniper smock detailing: vertically-oriented through-patch pockets at the front, and narrow magazine patches on the left sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from lightweight cotton, the fabric permits unrestricted movement and comfortable wear — an ideal garment for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExisting examples are exceptionally scarce, both domestically and internationally. Distribution within Japan is minimal, counted on one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo size marking is present, though proportions suggest Japanese sizing of approximately L to XL.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements indicate a generous cut — accommodating larger frames comfortably, and equally suited to both true and oversized silhouettes.\n\u003c\/span\u003eDesigned as an overjacket worn atop military dress, these smocks are characteristically generous in proportions — roomy through the armhole and across the chest, adaptable across varied body types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSurface wear, abrasion, and minor fraying are present, though no damage impedes wear. The piece remains fully serviceable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong European military garments, CSLA pieces rank among the most elusive. Beyond rarity, this is an exceptionally handsome garment from a fashion perspective — precisely the sort meant to be worn without hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not something one simply purchases; future availability cannot be assured.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorthy equally as a working piece, a collection object, or design reference. An uncommon find, both within Japan and internationally — if you've been searching, this warrants consideration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VIEUX ET NOUVEAU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45570442035378,"sku":"J0970","price":118000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/2140\/3314\/files\/202505030405.jpg?v=1751298058","url":"https:\/\/vieuxetnouveau-shop.com\/en\/products\/50s-czechoslovak-army-green-cotton-sniper-smock-modified","provider":"VIEUX ET NOUVEAU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
