Astrakhan collars, made from the curly pelts of karakul lambs, were a mark of rank and were chosen for warmth in hard winters. Unworn coats of this kind are not often seen, and it can serve as a collector's uniform, a display piece or a heavy winter coat for a person of matching size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671447175317,"sku":"v1|407155518583|0","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_d2e0c0a3-0afe-4bef-833a-4049b2917d2a.jpg?v=1791479660","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/nos-astrakhan-collar-wool-overcoat-ukrainian-army-general","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
