About This Piece
Heavy wool greatcoats were designed for harsh winters and were standard cold-weather wear for Soviet military and militia personnel. A coat that was never issued, with its insignia still attached, is a good fit for collectors of Cold War uniforms, reenactors and vintage coat enthusiasts. This piece is sold, and similar uniforms can be found in our collection. The shoulder boards with stars and piping and the black velvet collar tabs with stars are the details to look at first in the photos, together with the measurement photos for fit.
