Authentic 1983 Finnish Army M62 reversible camouflage field jacket, featuring the distinctive Finnish M/62 camouflage pattern in olive green, brown, and tan tones. Introduced in 1962, the M62 pattern was Finland’s first domestically designed camouflage system and remained in use through the Cold War era before being replaced by later M91 camouflage.
This jacket is constructed from durable cotton twill and designed with reversible functionality, allowing soldiers to flip the garment depending on environment and operational needs. The M62 system was developed specifically for Finland’s forested terrain and variable seasons, making it one of the earliest purpose-built woodland camouflage patterns used by a European military.
The interior military stamp reads “854 VPU 83”, indicating production for the Finnish Defence Forces by Valtion Pukutehdas (VPU), the Finnish state uniform manufacturer. The “83” denotes a 1983 production or inspection year.
