East German Red Cross DRK Men’s Utility Jacket
Here we have a very interesting and underappreciated uniform from the former DDR. These Red Cross utilities are built to withstand years of use. There are several distinct models spanning the 1960’s to 1980’s.
Models from early to late production:
- 100% cotton, gray, 4-patch pockets, No sleeve insignia.
- Same as 1 but with added DRK sleeve insignia. These are mostly hand sewn because they were added post-production. The sleeve patch replaced an earlier removeable armband.
- Poly-cotton blend fabric, blue-gray, 4-patch pockets, machine-sewn sleeve insignia.
