Repro Soviet Tunic Model 1943
Reproduction model 1943 tunic made from the correct cotton twill. These are very accurate reproductions and include the collar liner which is tack sewn in. The collar liner was supposed to be removed, washed and sewn back in every day. The buttons are a mix of original paint and refurbished old stock soviet buttons. All tunics come with raspberry piped shoulder boards which denotes them as infantry. All tunics have period ink stamps inside. The uniforms have a slight sheen to them when they are new, but they wear in well with use and a few washings.
SIZE:
We provide the stamped on Soviet size and the actual measurement of the tunic in inches. THESE ARE THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE TUNIC ITSELF!! Your measurements must be LESS than those listed to fit. Ideally, your chest (when you breathe in) should probably be at least 4-5" smaller than the listed measurements (some people like them baggier and go 8" bigger than their own measurements). This extra also helps account for potential shrinkage of 1-3 inches.

Please measure yourself; there is a 20% restocking fee for this item. ONLY TRUST A TAPE MEASURE! Do not take the size from another shirt or jacket. If you do not have a cloth tape measure to measure yourself, find a dress shirt that fits you comfortably and measure it with a normal tape measure or ruler, lay it flat and measure from armpit to arm pit and double that measurement.
Made in Ukraine. Uniforms are in the US and ship from Ohio within a few days of placing an order. Machine wash cold and hang dry. These will shrink if you wash them in hot water or put them in the dryer (the shrinkage seems to be about 1"-2"). Some of them still have chalk lines from when they were sewn together, this will wash off.
Belt shown in photos not included, but is available separately here.
