Service Raincoat Italian Army Model 2016 - Off-Duty

Product overview

The Impermeabile di Servizio Libera Uscita Esercito Model 2016 is a military service raincoat for personnel who need a durable, functional outer garment for duty, parade, or everyday wear. It suits users in military surplus, tactical, or duty/police roles who require weather protection with a formal appearance.

Definition: This is a two-piece raincoat system made of an outer jacket plus a non-self-supporting removable inner corpetto (liner) designed to be anchored to the jacket for added versatility and weather protection.

Main features

This raincoat combines formal tailoring with practical details for protection and wearability.

• Structured jacket construction: Outer jacket made from four front panels and one back panel with tailored yokes (carré) for a formal fit.
• Reinforced rank epaulettes: Double-fabric shoulder rank holders, internally reinforced with plastic support, finished with a hidden snap fastener.
• Waterproof closures: Front closure uses an anti-water zipper with double sliders mounted on 30 mm fabric plackets and covered by two outer storm flaps secured by five hidden snap buttons.
• Functional pockets: Laser-cut horizontal internal waist pockets on both front panels, approx. 180 mm opening, closed with anti-water zippers; internal pocket sacks approx. 250 mm deep.
• Removable inner corpetto (liner): Full-length front zipper with pull tab allows the corpetto to be anchored to the outer jacket for added insulation.
• Identification panels and cuffs: Laser-cut shield-shaped Velcro patches on both sleeves (left sleeve for nationality badge) and rectangular adjustable cuffs with hidden snap fasteners.
• Branded details: Silver collar stars on each collar tip and ESERCITO logo heat-sealed inside both pieces and on the shaped front chest insert.

How to use / When it’s useful

Use the outer jacket alone in mild wet weather or attach the removable corpetto for cooler conditions and added insulation. The corpetto zips into the jacket and can be removed quickly when not needed.

Quick answer: Attach the corpetto via its full-length zipper when extra warmth or wind protection is required. In most cases, wear the jacket by itself for lighter rain and the combined system for colder, windy, or prolonged rainy conditions.

Care and notes

Follow the garment label for washing and care to keep fabric performance and protective finishes intact.

• Close zippers and fasten snaps before cleaning to protect seams and zipper elements.
• Remove the inner corpetto before any specific dry-cleaning or repair operations if recommended on the label.
• Check size chart before ordering; cut and laser-finished edges may be less forgiving if altered.
