Yugoslav Serb PJP/PJM Purple Lizard/Tigerstripe Summer Jacket

The PJP/PJM “Purple Lizard” camo comes out of late Yugoslav and early Serbian use mostly tied to police and special units during the Balkan conflicts in the 1990s. It’s a weird offshoot of traditional lizard camo, except instead of normal colors you get this purple/blue mix that looks wrong until you realize it fits just right.

This is the summer-weight version, so it’s lighter and actually wearable without cooking yourself. The big feature and why people hunt these is the integrated internal holster. It’s built into the jacket.

Sizing (Height + Chest Guide)

These are Eastern European military cuts—slightly boxy with shorter options. Tags are inconsistent, so use this chart instead of trusting the label blindly.

If you’re between sizes, size up.

Extra Notes:

• Short = shorter sleeves and overall length
• Regular = standard length
• Cut is slightly boxy, not slim fit
• Expect slight variation because surplus sizing is chaos
