Hello all,

I apologize if I am in the wrong place. This looked like the most appropriate place to discuss such things.

Last summer, through private connections, I met a Chinese serviceman in Beijing and after bargaining, he graciously gave me some standard issue clothes. He said giving away Army property was unauthorized - especially to foreigners. He serves in the PLAAF (Chinese Air Force) as an Engineer. I can’t recall his rank but he was pretty high up.

Since then, I have been scouring the Internet in search of pictures of drawings of PLAAF uniforms but they’re hard to come by.

He gave me :
- A pale blue summer shirt (cotton) (note the buttons: the symbols stand for 8/1, August 8th, the day the PLA was created.
- Dark blue pants (polyester)
- A dark blue tie and the corps’s tie clip (which is surprising to say the least)
- An olive green army belt
I have no idea if they are worn together or if just gave me random clothes.

Here are a few pictures:Attachment 284725Attachment 284727Attachment 284728Attachment 284729Attachment 284730Attachment 284731Attachment 284732

If you know anything about these, or if you want additional information, please comment. I’m looking to sell, so if you are interested, don’t hesitate.

In Beijing, I also bought a gorgeous winter-thick wool Mao suit. The jacket and pants are dark green. The guy who sold them to me said they were most likely in use in the 1970s/1980s. I will upload pictures if you’re interested.
