Pietruszka
The Polish Cold War Era 1960s Pietruszka camouflage pattern, first issued to Polish troops around 1952, features finely-detailed leaf shapes in foliage green on a yellowish-tan or khaki background. Believed to be of Soviet origin, this pattern is nicknamed "Pietruszka" or "parsley" camouflage due to its intricate leaf design. After Poland discarded the pattern, it was adopted by Romania. The Pietruszka pattern remains a significant part of military camouflage history, and its rare surviving examples without Romanian markings are highly valued by collectors.

Pietruszka — from the Polish word for parsley — is the camouflage pattern first officially adopted by the Polish Army in 1952. The print uses broken foliage shapes in olive, tan, and dark green arranged in a vertical scatter typical of Central European woodland. It was the first Polish military camouflage produced for mass issue and remained in service until the 1990s. On a high-top canvas upper the irregular foliage geometry reads at full scale.
Canvas upper, rubber cupsole, vulcanized construction. Lace-up closure with brass eyelets. Available in men's sizes 7–13.
