Soviet winter jacket, super stylish, green-brown, surplus

We have no idea about the official nomenclature of this jacket, but it wipes the floor with fairy-like Western creations and keeps the wearer warm even if he'd have to shake hands and make eye contact with Angela Merkel herself. One-off lot, buy now or die trying!

Not just a jacket

This beautiful jacket features a fixed fur collar, hood and thick lining, with windstopper flap on the inside. The top of this flap can be raised up to cover the wearer's face if he's particularly unsightly. There are also snow locks hidden inside the sleeves, because it would be embarrasing to openly show them. There's also two belt loops to run your favourite belt through them. This makes even a potato sack shaped user a prime specimen of his kind.

The top material is of the familiar Soviet type, i.e. rough quality cotton canvas. those who mock and fear cotton do not understand its enigmatic national-historical virtues. Under the cotton top layer there's the padding material, which is mostly MORE COTTON. Under this the lining, which is COTTON FLANNEL.

This jacket will stay up on its own when placed on the floor.

Washing

The jacket is too bulky to be stuffed inside a washing machine.
