Soviet cotton-flannel mittens, surplus

Price 14.99 USD excluding sales tax

In the Soviet Union, they sure knew how to make classic three-finger mutant mittens. These are the lighter type, with flannel lining. Although probably quite obsolete for war use, they work mighty fine in bushwhacking and on the streets too, you weirdo.

These have a separate trigger or tickling finger, which grants the wearer the virtue of basic dexterity. This is especially important for a soldier who has to be able to use his weapon in any weather, but it's a very nice bonus for any outdoorsy type human being.

You could say these work well when the temperature drops just a bit under zero degrees Celsius, and work as extra insurance during those treacherous, windy, and wet conditions when the temps fluctuate around the freezing point.

Tan-Brown

The palm side is made of the same superbly tight cotton as the Plash-Palatka capes, while the back of the palm is flannel, as is the lining. We're not sure why, but at least it's pretty good for wiping your goggles clear.

Black

These are made entirely of cotton, with similar flannel lining on the inside as on the brown ones.

Size info

We got only one size, which is about "Medium".

Condition

Unissued but stored since the Soviet times. The gulag smell will probably dissipate with use. These are probably indestructible, all in all a great item to pass down the generations.

Remove Russia

Our old product descriptions include ironic praise of our eastern neighbor and it used to be good fun. Does it piss you off? We understand and agree. However, we won't whitewash the old product descriptions. Instead, we have decided to stop buying Russian products. We sell what we have in stock and that's it.

Ordered tan/brown. It arrived with the two mittens sewn together. The inside is very soft. The canvas is well, as it should be. Though when washing these mittens, the canvas will bleed colour no matter how many times you rinse it.
I have long fingers, yet the fitting around the index finger is slightly uncomfortable as it chafes against the webbing between the thumb.

Otherwise, these are okay mittens.
