Let me introduce your attention the incredible Soviet fur military MITTENS. Manufacturer – USSR, 1980s. Khaki. Covered by 100% Cotton. Insulation – monolith sheepskin, High wide bell. Warm winter mittens were made in the USSR and are kept in very fine, vintage, warehouse storage condition. They were designed for severe frost, keep warm well and prevent fingers from freezing. If desired, additional thin gloves can be worn under them. The external (cover) part of the mittens is cotton, the tight weaving prevents the mittens from getting wet quickly. The inner part is insulated with sheepskin, which prevents heat from escaping outside. The sockets of the mittens are high and wide, you can tuck a sleeve into them to prevent the blowing out. If necessary, the upper part folds back, giving more freedom to the hands. Such mittens are useful for hunters, fishermen, tourists who works outdoors in winter. Gloves color - khaki, black sheepskin. Size – M: length – 31 cm, Width – 14 cm, the length of thumb – 9 cm.

Let me introduce your attention the holster. It was used in the Navy. It is worn both under a tunic and over a tunic or overcoat. The design of the equipment, with a freely hanging holster, is primarily due to the need to move inside the ship without clinging to the hatches with the holster. The holster has a pocket for a spare magazine. It is usually worn at the 16 - 17 o'clock position, but when walking fast, it often moves by 15 so that the holster does not swing and hit the hip, and at the same time it is adhered to with the right hand. In good condition with hand lettering inside (it looks like Children's drawings).
