Up for sale is a vintage, 1982 the First Lebanon War Era, IDF Olive Green Winter Hooded Coat known in Israel as a “Dubon”. Until recently these kinds of coats could be seen everywhere. They were used for decades by men and women alike as fatigue, field coats, and a part of the class A uniform, also by soldiers on leave.

But it could also be bought new or in army surplus stores, so it was also worn by kibbutznikim, manual labour workers, students, old people and young people and every now and again it was used in fashion shoots as accessories. From the rich to the poor, from the old to the young, Druze, Israeli, Christian, Palestinian, it kept them all warm.

Condition:

It is still in Good condition, minor wear, I don’t think it was too long in use otherwise one could easily see signs of wear on outer shell and the lining, HOWEVER there are few stains, one tiny sign of a hole that will appear one of these days AND the major problem is the zipper that doesn’t work properly.
