BDU jacket

Nack · 08-27-2007, 07:50 PM

Hola everyone. I haven't gotten anything lately, so I've been quiet around here. But, yesterday I picked up a jacket which confuses me.

It looks like a late-USSR officer BDU jacket, but its got these wierd shoulderstrap "wrappers" (I'm sure they have a name). The guy who I bought it from said he thought it was Polish. Any ideas?

Here's the stamp inside. Looks like (I think) the usual USSR stamps.

Nack,

I am not well versed in late soviet stuff, so all I can say is that:
. the boards are not soviet
. the jacket itself does not bother me overly being soviet

Thanks Marc. I was pretty sure the boards were not Soviet, but I think the jacket is. It's dated 1987 I think, so it is from the Soviet period. Could it be some sort of lend-lease stuff to a middle-east country? They tend to use those wrapper shoulderboards.

Tim,

The fabric seems to be a bit heavy for those "exotic" places.

:D It's a medium-to-lightweight cloth I think. I guess I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks for the thoughts :thumbsup

The boards may be of Yugoslav Militia. I don't remember what rank it is, but 1 grade higher than Milic'nik, so something like senior militiaman.
