Cosmonaut survival suit
"Comrade Colonel cosmonaut: in the unlikely event of a water landing, please don the orange survival suit located beneath your seat cushion." Unless your name is Dennis Tito or you're a former cosmonaut, it's not likely you've heard this particular pre-flight announcement. But, cosmonauts relied on orange hydro suits like these when their re-entry vehicles splashed down at sea. Vintage '60s-'80s and in excellent condition. A few suits have CCCP patterns and markings (as shown). A must for space collectors. (Guaranteed to turn heads at costume balls, too.)
Soviet-era guardsman's cloak
Slip into this Soviet-era cloak and you're ready to patrol the Berlin Wall. Produced during the Cold War era for USSR army officers but never issued. Features unique sleeveless design (to allow the officer easy access to his sidearm), and removable hood. 48" long (one size fits nearly everyone).
Astrakhan wool visor cap
Does the hat make the man or does the man make the hat? Pose this question to Russia's President Vladimir Putin and he'll probably insist on the latter. We say it's the former. The soft, 100% astrakhan (Persian lamb) wool exterior keeps you warm even when sailing out of the North Sea. Silky, quilted interior is a comfort to your head. Complete with all the trimmings, like embroidered "scrambled egg" visor, hammer and sickle anchor buttons, adjustable chinstrap and Russian officer's enameled insignia. In Russia, only the top brass are issued these rare caps. Available in S, M, L and XL. Also Available! Enameled Russian officer's insignia (show on cap above), sold separately (#150417).
Astrakhan hat
Mikhail Gorbachev, often seen in an Astrakhan hat just like this, changed the world with his policies of Glasnost and Perestroika. We can't guarantee you'll have the same effect on world affairs, but we guarantee you'll look sharp in this hat. The soft, 100% Persian lamb wool exterior keeps you warm, even in December in Siberia. Silky, quilted interior. Available in M (7-7 1/8), L (7 1/4-7 3/8;), XL (7½) and XXL (7¾). Please specify above.
Naval officer's mouton ushanka
These genuine ushankas, made from mouton (the softest, warmest and highest quality lamb's wool) are identical to those worn by Soviet submarine Captain Marco Ramius (Sean Connery) and his senior officers in The Hunt for Red October. Brand new, straight from the factory in Vilnius, Lithuania (Ramius's hometown), which supplied fine furs to high-ranking Soviet officers and Politburo members for 70+ years. Quilted lining. Pull down ear flaps or tie them on top of hat. Complete with rare Soviet naval officer's insignia. We have very few (and they're a fraction of the price you'd pay at a fine fur boutique or a hoity-toity department store). 7 (S), 71/4 (M), 71/2 (L), 73/4 (XL) and 8 (XXL)
