The Palatka had other uses also, it acted as a raincoat/poncho, extra layers in colder weather and also as a sort of basic camouflage. Both pattern jackets had an external pocket on each hip and a single.

I understand originally they were treated with some form of waterproofing agent now being as old as it is and being sat in a warehouse for decades I doubt it would stand up to much more than a light shower.
