Jacket of the žemaičiai district partisans

A unique jacket of the 1949- 1950 partisan period. This partisan jacket had to be reconstructed based on photographs only. It was worn by the Žemaičiai district partisans. The pattern of the jacket was influenced by the fashion of the time and the lack of materials: short jackets with a waist and cuffs were sewn.

To maintain the traditions of the Lithuanian interwar armed forces uniform, the same accents were preserved in producing these jackets: a collar band, shoulder straps and patch pockets on the chest.

To produce the jacket, the fabric of a disassembled American World War II jacket was used. It had faded over time, thus acquiring a greenish hue corresponding to the color of the original partisan jacket.
