Aeroflot Uniforms.

Two really nice examples of modern-era Aeroflot visor caps.

Not too bad, I have to say I liked old Soviet visor caps more; but it looks good with the tri-colour as well. :)
I thought they were going to change their logo as well? Or was that just a rumour?

The caps look rather american in their appearance, not really the classic russian look.

Yes!
That is a good way to describe them, when I think of a Russian visor I imagine a large saucer top, well constructed and nice. :)

This hat strikes me as weird for some reason though, it is nice.

I don't know what it is with these new aeroflot things.

when i was working on Schiphol (Amsterdam) i used to see them quite often.
it just doesnt look as it is one piece, it looks as pieces from differend uniforms and country's.

maybe it's just me.

i remember that pilots of aeroflot didn't like to wear them, and used to give them away to western stuwardesses.
